Frequently asked questions about the Other water supply accessories category
What are Other water supply accessories and what are they used for?
Other water supply accessories are auxiliary parts and tools for installing and repairing water systems: gaskets (paronite, rubber), O-rings, pipe clamps, press pliers and pipe cutters. They are used for sealing joints, cutting and fitting pipes, mounting components and servicing plumbing.
What types of gaskets and seals are in this category?
The category includes paronite gaskets (e.g. 1" and 11/2" in 5pcs packs), rubber seals and O-ring sets in various sizes (R8, R9, MIX). Choose by pipe or thread diameter and material — paronite for flat flange seals, rubber for flexible or movable connections.
How to choose the right O-ring from R8, R9 or MIX kits?
Measure the inner and outer diameters of the joint and select an O-ring with matching dimensions (e.g. R8 14.3x8.9x2.7; R9 15.9x10.5x2.7). A MIX kit is convenient if you need multiple sizes for different fittings.
Are 1/2" and 1" rubber gaskets suitable for filters and taps?
Yes — the category includes 1/2" rubber gaskets with a filter and 1" blue rubber gaskets in 5pcs packs, sized for standard taps and filters. Make sure the outer diameter and seating recess match your device.
Which pipe cutters are in the category and what diameters do they support?
The category includes pipe cutters like KREATOR (3–16 mm and 6–35 mm), REMS models (e.g. 3–28 mm mini) and a plastic pipe cutter up to 42 mm. They suit precise cutting of PEX, PE and plastic pipes across those diameter ranges.
Do the PEX-AL-PEX press pliers support 16–32 mm diameters?
Yes — the category includes YATO hydraulic/TH press pliers for PEX-AL-PEX sized 16–32 mm. They are designed to form secure press connections on multilayer pipes.
What pipe fixings are available — clamps and holders?
The range includes pipe clamps and mounts such as RUUKKI pipe clamps and fittings for fixing to wooden structures and other surfaces. Choose by pipe diameter and mounting surface material.
Are there lubricants for plumbing in the category?
Yes — Skidol lubricant 250 g is available for lubricating seals, threads and easing the installation of pipe fittings. Apply a thin layer to O-rings and seals to improve sealing and prolong service life.
What consumable kits exist for sealing different pipe diameters?
There are O-ring MIX kits and gasket packs for standard sizes (3/8", 1/2", 3/4", 1", 11/4", 11/2"). They cover common sizes for taps, filters and fittings.
How do REMS ROS P and REMS RAS CU-INOX cutters differ?
REMS ROS P is for plastic pipes up to 42 mm, while REMS RAS CU-INOX mini covers 3–28 mm and is optimized for copper and stainless steel. Choose ROS P for larger plastic pipes, RAS CU-INOX for metal pipes and compact jobs.
