Product Information

Full details

This MYPURECORE Click-Lock Butterfly Valve Connection Kit is designed for homeowners and gardeners needing a reliable way to connect their 20mm MDPE mains water supply to a garden hose. Its key benefit is a hassle-free, leak-proof water connection with an all-metal valve. A potential caveat is that it specifically fits 20mm MDPE pipes and Hozelock-type connectors, requiring confirmation of compatibility with existing setups. The kit includes a durable, rust-resistant butterfly valve, a universal click-lock connector, and PTFE tape for secure installation.

Extended Product Information

FAQs

What size MDPE pipe does this kit fit?

This kit is specifically designed for 20mm MDPE (Medium Density Polyethylene) water pipes.

Will this connect to any garden hose?

The click-lock connector is designed to fit universal Hozelock-type garden hose connectors. It may not be compatible with all hose brands that use different connection systems.

Is the butterfly valve made of metal?

Yes, the butterfly valve included in this kit is made entirely of metal and is designed to be rust-resistant.

Do I need any special tools for installation?

Typically, no special tools are required. The kit includes PTFE tape for sealing threads, and the connections are designed for hand-tightening and push-fit assembly.

Can this kit be used for drinking water?

This kit is generally intended for non-potable water applications, such as garden use. Always ensure compliance with local regulations if considering use for potable water.

How do I ensure a leak-proof connection?

Ensure the MDPE pipe is fully inserted, and apply the provided PTFE tape to all threaded connections before tightening. The click-lock mechanism also ensures a secure hose connection.

What should I do if I notice a drip?

If a drip occurs at a threaded connection, ensure the PTFE tape is applied correctly and the connection is tightened firmly. If the leak persists, consider adding another layer of PTFE tape.

Troubleshooting

Water leak at the connection point

Ensure the MDPE pipe is fully inserted into the connector. Reapply PTFE tape to the threaded connection of the butterfly valve and tighten securely. Check that the hose is properly clipped onto the click-lock mechanism.

Difficulty connecting the garden hose

Check for any debris or obstructions in the click-lock mechanism. Ensure the hose connector is the correct Hozelock-type standard. Gently twist and push the hose connector while engaging the click-lock.

Low water pressure or flow

Ensure the butterfly valve is fully open. Check the MDPE pipe for any kinks or blockages. Verify that the main water supply is turned on and providing adequate pressure.

Valve is stiff or hard to turn

Operate the valve several times with a moderate water flow to help loosen it. Ensure no debris is obstructing the valve mechanism. If the issue persists, the valve may need replacement.

  4. Screw the all-metal butterfly valve onto the other threaded end of the click-lock connector.

Care:
