FAQs

Is PTFE tape included in the kit?

No, PTFE tape is not included in this kit. It needs to be purchased separately before installation.

What is the maximum pressure this kit can handle?

The MDPE fittings are engineered to withstand a maximum pressure of 10 bars (approximately 145 psi).

Can I use this kit with pipes other than 25mm MDPE?

This kit is specifically designed for 25mm MDPE pipes. Compatibility with other pipe types or sizes is not guaranteed and may lead to leaks or failure.

How do I clean the brass lever valve?

Clean the exterior of the brass lever valve with a damp cloth. Avoid using harsh chemicals or abrasive cleaners that could damage the nickel plating.

What is the benefit of the click-lock quick connector?

The click-lock quick connector allows for very fast and easy attachment and detachment of hoses or accessories without the need for threading or tools, simplifying setup and changes.

Can this kit be used for potable water supply?

While MDPE is commonly used for water supply, always ensure all components used in potable water systems meet local regulations and standards for drinking water safety.

What tools are needed for installation?

Basic tools like a wrench or pliers for tightening the compression nut and potentially a screwdriver for mounting the flange are typically sufficient. No specialized tools are required for the pipe connection itself.

Troubleshooting

Leak at the MDPE pipe connection

Ensure the MDPE pipe is fully inserted into the fitting and the compression nut is tightened evenly and securely. Check the pipe end for damage.

Leak at the valve or connector threads

Disassemble the connection, reapply PTFE tape (sold separately) to the male threads, and reassemble, ensuring a tight fit. The valve or connector may need replacement if damaged.

Lever valve is stiff or difficult to operate

Check for debris inside the valve. If the valve has been in a fixed position for a long time, it may require gentle wiggling to loosen. If persistently stiff, consider lubrication or replacement.

Quick connector not locking securely

Inspect the locking mechanism for debris or damage. Ensure the hose end is properly seated. If the connector is damaged, it will need to be replaced.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup:

  1. Mount the Wall Flange: Secure the 25mm MDPE Wall Flange to a suitable flat surface using appropriate fasteners (not included).
  2. Connect MDPE Pipe: Insert the 25mm MDPE pipe into the compression fitting on the wall flange and tighten the compression nut securely.
  3. Attach Lever Valve: Apply PTFE tape (sold separately) to the male BSP threads of the wall flange and screw the ¾” BSP Lever Valve onto it. Tighten firmly.
  4. Connect Quick Connector: Screw the Male Click-Lock Quick Connector onto the female BSP outlet of the lever valve. Ensure a snug fit.
  5. Connect Hose: Attach your compatible hose to the click-lock outlet.

Compatibility:

  • Pipe Type: Specifically designed for 25mm MDPE (Medium-Density Polyethylene) pipes.
  • Thread Standards: Utilizes standard ¾” BSPM (British Standard Pipe Male) threads for the valve and connector.
  • Pressure Rating: Suitable for systems operating up to 10 bars (approx. 145 psi).

Care:

  • Periodically check all connections for leaks and tighten if necessary.
  • Clean the exterior of the valve and connectors with a damp cloth. Avoid abrasive cleaners.
  • Ensure the lever valve is turned off when not in use to prevent prolonged pressure on seals.
  • For winterization in freezing climates, drain the system completely to prevent damage from ice expansion.
