Product Information

Full details

This Akor Wall Flange Kit is designed for plumbers and DIY enthusiasts needing a reliable connection for MDPE piping systems in water supply, irrigation, or industrial applications. Its key benefit is the easy, leak-free installation thanks to threaded compression fittings, offering durability and chemical resistance. A minor caveat is that PTFE tape is not included and must be purchased separately for optimal sealing.

FAQs

What size MDPE pipe does this kit use?

This kit is designed for 25mm MDPE pipe.

Do I need special tools to install this kit?

No, the threaded compression fittings do not require specialized tools. Standard wrenches can be used for tightening.

Is PTFE tape included with the kit?

No, PTFE tape is not included and must be purchased separately to ensure a proper seal on threaded connections.

What is the maximum pressure rating for these fittings?

The MDPE fittings are rated PN10, which means they can withstand a maximum pressure of 10 bars (approximately 145 psi).

Can this kit be used for potable water?

MDPE fittings are commonly used for water supply, including potable water, provided all components meet relevant local standards for drinking water safety.

How do I clean the brass lever valve?

Clean the exterior with a damp cloth. Avoid harsh chemicals or abrasive materials that could damage the nickel plating.

Can the elbow be used for angles other than 90 degrees?

No, the elbow fitting is specifically designed for a 90-degree change in direction.

Troubleshooting

Leak at compression fitting

Ensure the MDPE pipe is fully inserted and cut squarely. Re-tighten the compression nut. Check the compression ring for damage. Consider using PTFE tape on the BSP threads if applicable.

Lever valve is stiff or difficult to turn

Ensure the valve is correctly installed and not over-tightened against other components. Check for debris in the valve mechanism. If the issue persists, the valve may need replacement.

Low water flow after installation

Verify the lever valve is fully open. Check for any kinks or blockages in the MDPE pipe or fittings. Ensure all connections are secure and not obstructing flow.

Connection won't seal

Confirm that PTFE tape is used on all BSP threaded connections. Ensure threads are clean and undamaged. Re-seat the connection and tighten appropriately.

Pros and Cons

Pros

Easy installation with no special tools required.
Durable construction ensures a long service life.
Provides secure, leak-free connections.
Versatile for various applications like water supply and irrigation.
Corrosion-resistant materials enhance longevity.

Cons

PTFE tape is not included and must be purchased separately.
Limited to PN10 pressure rating, not suitable for high-pressure systems.
Brass valve may require occasional maintenance in aggressive water conditions.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup:

Ensure the MDPE pipe is clean and cut squarely.
Loosen the compression nut on the MDPE fittings.
Slide the nut, followed by the compression ring, onto the MDPE pipe.
Insert the pipe fully into the fitting body.
Slide the compression ring and nut up to the fitting body.
Tighten the compression nut securely. For best results, use a spanner to tighten the nut onto the fitting body. For the lever valve, ensure the BSPM thread is aligned correctly with the F thread connection. Note: PTFE tape should be applied to the BSP threads of the valve for a complete seal; this is not included.

Compatibility:

Designed for 25mm MDPE (Medium-Density Polyethylene) pipe.
BSP (British Standard Pipe) threads are used for valve and flange connections, typically ¾” size. Ensure mating connections are compatible.
Suitable for cold and hot water systems up to PN10 pressure rating.

Care:

Periodically check connections for tightness, especially after initial installation and temperature fluctuations.
Clean the exterior of the fittings and valve with a damp cloth. Avoid abrasive cleaners.
Ensure the lever valve operates smoothly. If stiff, a small amount of appropriate lubricant might be considered, but avoid getting it into the fluid path.
Protect from excessive UV exposure if used outdoors for extended periods without shielding.
