Water mains box

[Downtown]

So i was connecting a few mains pipes into a toby box manifold and one of them is leaking.. Must be a bad rubber inside it. They are push fit connections and i can't get the pipe out now that it's in to investigate :/
Does anyone know if there is a tool for taking the pipe out or a way of getting it out? I can't be the only one this has happened too.

Does it have Talbot push fit connectors? if so removal is possible using the correct tool but I have removed the pipe from the fitting using a section of margarine tub lid and slid it down between pipe and grip ring and it will slide out

This is a removal shim


You use 2 of them or as Eco said a couple of pieces of margarine tub lid.

ivve worked in the factory where they make these,
anything that is thin and will take the same shape as the pipe will do , ive used a coke can,
you just need to break the grab ring off the pipe,

they are perfect for lead locks too
