MDPE fittings are durable, flexible, and chemical-resistant, suitable for water supply, irrigation, and industrial processes. They feature threaded compression connections for a secure, leak-free seal, making installation easy and cost-effective. The wall flange connects pipes to flat surfaces, enhancing system versatility. MDPE PN10 fittings withstand a maximum pressure of 10 bars (approx. 145 psi) and are resistant to corrosion. The brass straight joiner connects hose pipes to threaded fixtures, with a barbed end for a secure hose grip and a BSP thread for easy connection to the MDPE wall flange. Constructed from high-quality brass, this fitting is strong, durable, and resistant to corrosion, wear, and impact. This kit is not sold with PTFE Tape, which needs to be purchased separately. The backplate supplied allows the connection of the water pipe with a compression fitting that will prevent any leaks. When the pipe is attached, the back/wall plate can be secured to a wall, fence, or post via the three screw holes provided. After this is done, using a small amount of PTFE tape (purchased separately), the brass hose barb can be screwed into the wall plate and the item is ready to use.
This Akor Wall Flange Kit is designed for users needing a robust and secure connection point for water supply, irrigation, or industrial systems. Its key benefit is providing a versatile, corrosion-resistant, and easy-to-install interface between MDPE pipes and threaded fixtures, allowing for secure wall mounting. A minor caveat is that PTFE tape is not included and must be purchased separately for optimal sealing.

FAQs
What is included in this kit?
The kit includes a 25mm MDPE Wall Flange with a 3/4” BSP connection and a 19mm Brass Straight Joiner with a 3/4” BSP connection. It also includes the backplate for wall mounting.
Do I need to buy anything else to use this kit?
Yes, PTFE tape is required for sealing the threaded connection between the brass joiner and the wall flange, and it is not included in the kit. Hose clamps may also be recommended for securing the hose to the barb.
What is the maximum pressure this kit can handle?
The MDPE fittings in this kit are rated for PN10, which means they can withstand a maximum pressure of 10 bars (approximately 145 psi).
Can I use this kit with pipes other than 25mm MDPE?
The wall flange is specifically designed for 25mm MDPE pipes due to its compression fitting. The brass joiner has a 3/4" BSP thread which is standard, but the barb is sized for 19mm hoses.
Is the brass joiner suitable for hot water?
While brass is generally durable, the suitability for hot water depends on the specific pressure and temperature ratings of the connected hose and MDPE system. This kit is primarily designed for cold water supply and general water transfer.
How do I clean the fittings?
Clean the exterior of the fittings with a damp cloth. Avoid using harsh chemicals or abrasive materials that could damage the MDPE or brass.
What is the purpose of the backplate?
The backplate allows the wall flange assembly to be securely mounted to a solid surface like a wall, fence, or post, providing a stable and accessible connection point for your water system.
Troubleshooting
Connection leaks at the brass joiner and wall flange
Ensure PTFE tape has been applied correctly to the 3/4” BSP threads. Tighten the brass joiner firmly but avoid overtightening. Check the threads for damage.
Hose slips off the brass barb
Ensure the hose is pushed fully onto the barb and secured with a hose clamp (sold separately) if necessary, especially for higher pressure applications.
MDPE pipe is difficult to connect to the flange
Ensure the end of the MDPE pipe is cut cleanly and squarely. If the pipe is stiff, warming it slightly with warm water (not hot) can make it more pliable for insertion into the compression fitting.
Wall plate is not secure
Use appropriate screws for the mounting surface and ensure they are fully tightened into the screw holes of the wall plate.
Pros and Cons
Pros
Durable and corrosion-resistant construction for long-lasting use.
Simple to install with clear connection types (threaded compression and barb).
Versatile for various water supply, irrigation, and industrial applications.
Provides a secure and leak-free connection when properly installed.
Allows for a clean and professional finish by mounting the connection point to a surface.
Cons
PTFE tape is required for optimal sealing but is not included in the kit.
Limited to specific pipe (25mm MDPE) and hose (19mm) sizes.
Pressure rating of 10 bars may not be sufficient for high-pressure industrial applications.
Brass components can be susceptible to damage if overtightened.
Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup:
Securely attach the 25mm MDPE pipe to the compression fitting on the backplate of the wall flange.
If the hose barb connection requires sealing, apply a small amount of PTFE tape (purchased separately) to the 3/4” BSP thread of the brass straight joiner.
Screw the brass straight joiner into the 3/4” BSP threaded outlet on the wall flange.
Using the three provided screw holes, mount the wall plate securely to a wall, fence, or post.
Connect your 19mm hose to the barbed end of the brass joiner.
Compatibility:
MDPE Pipe Size: Designed for 25mm MDPE pipes.
Thread Size: Features 3/4” BSP male and female threads.
Hose Barb Size: Compatible with 19mm hoses.
Pressure: Suitable for systems operating up to 10 bars (145 psi).
Care:
Periodically check connections for tightness and signs of wear.
Clean exterior surfaces with a damp cloth as needed. Avoid abrasive cleaners.
Ensure the system is drained and protected from freezing in cold climates to prevent damage.
