Plumbing assembly
The plumbing assembly 110 comprises a plumbing fitting 112 having a body with a socket 114, and a tubular member having a free end 118 received within the socket, the socket having a first formation 120 against which a second formation 122 on the free end is driven to produce tactile or audible feedback when the free end is received in a desired location within the socket, the second formation defining an axially re-entrant configuration with respect to the free end. A boundary wall may encircle the second formation. The second formation may comprise a circumferential array of peaks and troughs, and be part of an insert or attachment 136 fitted at the free end. The insert may have a body 138 which fits in the free end and a head 140 which extends from the free end. There may be a shoulder 142 between the body and the head having a radially outer region defining an annular chamfer. The body may have splines for engaging a radially inner surface of the tubular member. The body may have a depressed annular recess retrieval surface 156 for removing the insert from the fitting. The first formation may comprise axial projections.
