Hi, can anybody tell me who makes these 22mm plastic to copper tees?

They're installed all over my CH system (house built 2007) and this is the 2nd one to have leaked in last 12 months.

After cutting off the first one that leaked and replacing it with a SpeedFit I worked out I simply needed to tighten up the blue collar!

It has Wavin stamped in the blue collar but looks nothing like the stuff they sell?

The collar has holes in it and it looks like I need some kind of key to tighten it up?

Any help?

Plastic fittings on any sort are totally pants in my opinion AND they have a shelf life it seems, a couple of estates around my town are now starting to suffer from leaks from old plastic fittings. The fittings are cracking along the internal corners.

Pile of dog shat

In fairness, I bought my house 12 years ago and am still using some of the Speedfit fittings that were in place under the sink when I bought the place. Provided I take them out to clean and regrease them every few years and don't knock them they don't leak at all.

When I get around to fitting the 'new' sink it'll be copper only though

there is a tool its got two prongs the fit into the holes could possibly get a wauy with a pair of circlip pliers

Thanks for all the replies guys. I've emailed Wavin as I can't find a tool on the web that looks like it will fit the small round holes on this fitting. I've also ordered some £2 circlip pliers off eBay!!!
