Setup, Compatibility & Care
To install, ensure the water supply is turned off completely at the mains. Use a pipe cutter suitable for MDPE to create a clean, square edge on your pipe. Slide the compression nut and the split ring onto the pipe before inserting the pipe into the tee fitting. Tighten the nut firmly by hand and then use a wrench for a final quarter-turn to secure the connection. For the tap threads, applying PTFE tape is recommended to prevent minor drips. Periodic maintenance includes checking the compression nuts annually for signs of movement or leaks and ensuring the tap is drained before freezing temperatures arrive.
