FAQs

What size MDPE pipe does this flange fit?

The wall flange is designed to fit 20mm MDPE pipe.

What type of thread does the brass tap have?

The brass garden tap has a 1/2" BSPM (British Standard Pipe Male) inlet thread.

Is PTFE tape included with this kit?

No, PTFE tape is not included with this kit and must be purchased separately for sealing the threaded connections.

What is the maximum pressure this kit can handle?

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

Can I use this kit for drinking water?

While MDPE is often used for water supply, it is recommended to consult specific material certifications and local regulations for potable water applications.

How do I connect a garden hose to the tap?

The tap features a barbed outlet. Simply push your garden hose onto the barb and secure it with a hose clamp for a leak-free connection.

What maintenance is required for the brass tap?

Periodically clean the tap with a damp cloth. For winter, ensure it is drained to prevent freezing. Check for occasional leaks from the handle or spout and tighten if necessary.

Troubleshooting

Tap is leaking from the threads

Ensure PTFE tape was applied correctly to the male threads before installation. Tighten the tap connection further, or reapply tape and reseal.

Hose is slipping off the tap outlet

Ensure the hose clamp is securely tightened onto the barb. If the hose is old or stretched, consider replacing it with a new hose that has a tighter fit.

MDPE pipe connection is leaking

Verify the pipe is clean and inserted fully into the compression fitting. Ensure the compression nut is tightened evenly and securely.

Water flow is weak

Check for kinks in the hose. Ensure the main water supply is fully open. Clean any sediment from the tap's internal mechanism if possible.

  2. Tap Installation: Apply PTFE tape (not included) to the 1/2" BSPM male threads of the brass tap (GTBIB12BRASS) to ensure a watertight seal. Screw the tap into the corresponding threaded outlet on the wall flange.

Care:
