Inserts

Inserts, in the context of plumbing, refer to fittings used to reinforce the connection between pipes and fixtures, such as faucet handles. They are small components made from materials like brass, plastic, or stainless steel, providing added strength and stability to ensure a secure and leak-proof connection. Inserts are often used in push-fit fittings, flexible hoses, or PEX connections to prevent pipe deformation and maintain the integrity of the joint. By reinforcing the connection, inserts help prevent leaks, improve water flow, and extend the lifespan of plumbing systems. Proper installation and maintenance of inserts ensure that connections remain tight and functional, reducing the risk of damage or leaks over time.
