Product Information

Full details

This Akor WF25KIT041 kit is designed for professionals and DIY enthusiasts needing a reliable connection for MDPE (Medium-Density Polyethylene) piping systems, offering a durable and leak-free solution for water supply and irrigation. Its key benefit lies in the combination of easy-to-use compression fittings and a robust lever valve for flow control. A key consideration is that PTFE tape is not included and must be purchased separately.

FAQs

What size MDPE pipe does this kit fit?

The kit includes a 25mm MDPE wall flange and a 32mm MDPE elbow. Ensure your pipe matches these sizes.

Do I need special tools to install these fittings?

No, the MDPE compression fittings are designed for tool-free installation. A wrench may be needed for tightening threaded BSP connections.

What is the pressure rating for these fittings?

The MDPE fittings in this kit are rated for PN10, which is a maximum working pressure of 10 bars (approximately 145 psi).

Is PTFE tape included in the kit?

No, PTFE tape is not included in this kit and must be purchased separately for use on threaded connections.

Can I use this kit for hot water?

These MDPE fittings are primarily designed for cold water applications. Consult the manufacturer for specific temperature limitations if considering other uses.

What does BSPM and BSPF mean on the fittings?

BSPM stands for British Standard Pipe Male thread, and BSPF stands for British Standard Pipe Female thread. These refer to the type and gender of the threaded connection.

How do I ensure a leak-free seal?

For compression fittings, ensure the pipe is fully seated and the nut is tightened firmly. For threaded connections, proper application of PTFE tape is crucial before tightening.

Troubleshooting

Leak at compression fitting

Ensure the pipe is fully inserted into the fitting and the nut is tightened securely. Check for any damage to the pipe end or the fitting collar. Re-tighten the nut, ensuring not to overtighten which could damage the fitting.

Leak at threaded connection

Ensure PTFE tape was applied correctly to the male threads. Check that the female thread is clean and undamaged. Tighten the connection further, ensuring it is snug but not overly forced.

Lever valve is stiff or difficult to operate

Check for debris or scale buildup around the valve mechanism. Ensure the valve is correctly aligned and not under undue stress from connected pipework. Operate the lever back and forth several times to loosen it.

Reduced water flow

Check if the lever valve is fully open. Inspect the entire pipe run for blockages or kinks in the MDPE pipe. Ensure all fittings are correctly installed and not obstructing flow.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Durable construction with corrosion-resistant MDPE and brass components.
  • Easy installation with no special tools required for compression fittings.
  • Provides secure, leak-free connections for reliable performance.
  • Includes essential components for a basic connection and flow control.
  • Suitable for a range of applications including water supply and irrigation.

Cons

  • PTFE tape is not included and must be purchased separately.
  • Fittings are rated for PN10 pressure (10 bar/145 psi), not suitable for high-pressure systems.
  • Kit is specific to 25mm MDPE and 32mm MDPE pipe sizes with ¾” BSP threads.
  • Requires knowledge of plumbing basics for proper installation.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup:

  1. Ensure the ends of the MDPE pipe are clean and free from burrs.
  2. For the compression fittings, slide the nut onto the pipe, then the collar. Insert the pipe into the fitting body and tighten the nut securely. Ensure the collar is fully seated.
  3. For threaded connections (BSP), ensure threads are clean. Apply PTFE tape (purchased separately) to male threads for a watertight seal. Hand-tighten threaded components, then use a wrench for a final quarter to half turn.
  4. The lever valve can be installed in any orientation, but ensure it is properly sealed using PTFE tape on the male threads.

Compatibility:

  • The kit is designed for use with 25mm MDPE pipe for the wall flange and 32mm MDPE pipe for the elbow. Ensure your pipe is of the correct size and type.
  • BSP (British Standard Pipe) threads are used for connections to other components. The valve and elbow feature ¾” BSP male threads (BSPM) or female threads (BSPF), so ensure mating parts are compatible.
  • These fittings are rated for PN10 (10 bar / 145 psi) and are best suited for cold water applications.

Care:

  • Periodically inspect connections for leaks, especially after initial installation and pressure testing.
  • Clean external surfaces with a damp cloth. Avoid using abrasive cleaners or solvents.
  • Ensure the lever valve operates smoothly. If it becomes stiff, check for debris in the line and ensure proper installation.
