FAQs

What size MDPE pipe does this kit connect to?

This kit is designed to connect to 20mm MDPE pipes.

What thread sizes are used for the connections?

The garden tap has a 1/2" BSP male inlet. The three-way splitter has three 3/4" BSP male outlets for the tap connectors.

Can I connect standard garden hoses to this kit?

Yes, the kit includes three 3/4" BSPM Snap-On Male Tap Connectors which are designed for standard garden hoses.

Does the kit include the MDPE pipe or garden hoses?

No, the kit includes the fittings and adapters but does not include the MDPE pipe or garden hoses. These must be purchased separately.

What is the maximum water pressure the kit can handle?

The MDPE fittings are suitable for systems up to 10 bars of pressure.

How do I control water flow to individual hoses?

The three-way tap adaptor features independent valve control for each of its three outlets, allowing you to turn water on/off or regulate flow to each connected hose separately.

What material is the garden tap made of?

The double lever garden tap has a 1/2" BSP male inlet and a quick-connect outlet, constructed from metal and nickel-plated for strength and longevity. The three-way splitter is made of brass and is also nickel-plated.

Troubleshooting

Leak at the wall flange connection

Ensure the MDPE pipe is correctly inserted and secured within the flange fitting. Check that any sealing tape or compound used on the BSP thread is properly applied. Tighten connections moderately.

Water flow is low or non-existent

Verify that all valves on the three-way splitter are open. Check that the main water supply is turned on. Ensure there are no kinks or blockages in the connected hoses or the MDPE pipe.

Quick-connect hose connector not locking

Ensure the connector is fully inserted into the tap adaptor outlet. Check the connector and adaptor for any debris that might be preventing it from seating correctly. Try wiggling the connector slightly as you push it in.

Tap is difficult to turn

The lever may require initial lubrication. Ensure no debris is obstructing the valve mechanism. Do not force the lever, as this could cause damage.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup:

  1. Wall Flange Installation: Securely attach the 20mm MDPE wall flange to the external wall, ensuring it aligns with the installed MDPE pipe. Connect the MDPE pipe to the flange using appropriate MDPE fittings (sold separately).
  2. Tap Connection: Connect the 1/2" BSP male inlet of the double lever garden tap to the wall flange's BSP outlet. Hand-tighten and then gently tighten with a wrench if necessary.
  3. Splitter Attachment: Screw the 3/4" BSP male inlet of the three-way tap adaptor onto the quick-connect outlet of the garden tap.
  4. Hose Connectors: Attach the Snap-On Male Tap Connectors to the ends of your garden hoses. Ensure they are securely fastened.
  5. Connect Hoses: Push the connectors onto the three outlets of the tap adaptor; you should hear a click when they are securely locked.

Compatibility:

  • Pipes: Designed for 20mm MDPE (Medium Density Polyethylene) pipes.
  • Threads: Utilizes standard BSP (British Standard Pipe) threads: 1/2" for the tap and 3/4" for the splitter outlets.
  • Hoses: Compatible with standard garden hoses designed to connect with 3/4" BSP male fittings.

Care:

  • Periodically check all connections for leaks and tighten if necessary.
  • Clean the exterior of the components with a damp cloth. Avoid abrasive cleaners.
  • In freezing conditions, drain the tap and splitter to prevent internal damage.
