Pocster Posted February 17 Share Posted February 17 I hate these . Fridge freezer has 1 inlet from mains tap to filter then into F/F . Wish F/F was Hep2o 🤣 Anyway . When I have to replace the filter - for the love of god I can’t get the ptfe pipe off either end - so I cut the filter out . Clearly , one day I’m going to run out of pipe ! What I *really* want is ptfe to ‘magic fixing’ to ptfe . Then I can remove ptfe pipe after the magic fixing into the filter . I.e I can cut the filter out as many times as I need - just replace ptfe pipe after magic fixing . All makes (expletive deleted) all sense ; yes ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

oliwoodings Posted February 17 Share Posted February 17 To get the pipe out you need to remove the little blue clips, then depress the ring. Kinda like JG speedfit. Works every time for me with no need to cut the pipe. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Make sure you give the hose a good firm tug, be rough with it.  I get the impression from other posters on here that won't be too much of a struggle for ye. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Onoff Posted February 18 Share Posted February 18 Measure the OD of the pipe with a Vernier and report back. Â Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dpmiller Posted February 18 Share Posted February 18 It aint PTFE pipe and that colleted ebay fitting isn't the right job. Â as they say above, flick the blue lock collar off and depress the ring just like any other JG fitting... Â Oh and the fittings unscrew from those filters so you can swap'em onto your choice of BSP ended filters. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pocster Posted March 14 Author Share Posted March 14 (edited) Can’t get this out . Blue clip off easily enough . Depress what ring ? It’s solid plastic . Pipe won’t just pull out … removal tool required ?? Edited March 14 by Pocster Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pocster Posted March 14 Author Share Posted March 14 These end caps are meant to go over the end of the filter then according to ‘easy’ videos you just push in and pipe slides out . My end caps have a thread whilst the filter doesn’t …. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
