FAQs

What is MDPE?

MDPE stands for Medium-Density Polyethylene, a type of plastic commonly used for water pipes due to its durability, flexibility, and resistance to corrosion.

Do I need special tools to install this kit?

No, the kit is designed for easy installation. A wrench may be needed to tighten the compression nut on the wall flange and the tap connector, but no specialized plumbing tools are required.

Is PTFE tape included?

No, PTFE tape is not included in this kit and must be purchased separately if needed for sealing the tap connection.

What is the maximum water pressure this kit can handle?

The MDPE fittings in this kit are rated for a maximum pressure of 10 bars (approximately 145 psi).

Can this kit be used for hot water?

This kit is primarily designed for cold water applications. Using it with hot water is not recommended without verification of material suitability for higher temperatures.

How do I clean the tap connector?

The click-lock tap connector can be cleaned with a damp cloth. Ensure no debris enters the quick-connect mechanism.

Troubleshooting

Leak from MDPE pipe connection

Ensure the pipe is inserted fully and squarely into the compression fitting. Tighten the compression nut firmly. Check the pipe end for damage.

Leak from tap connector

Ensure the tap connector is screwed on tightly. If the tap thread is worn, wrap PTFE tape (purchased separately) around the tap threads before connecting.

Hose won't click securely onto the connector

Check the hose end for debris or damage. Ensure the hose fitting is designed for standard click-lock systems. Inspect the connector for any obstructions.

Low water flow

Check for blockages in the hose, tap, or within the fittings. Ensure all connections are fully open.
