Product Information

Full details

Its key benefit is a fast, watertight seal with minimal effort, though a pipe liner is required for MDPE piping. Key features include robust construction for outdoor use, resistance to sunlight and frost, and a captive O-ring for a secure connection.

FAQs

What materials is this coupler made from?

The coupler is made from virgin Polypropylene, known for its impact strength and stress resistance.

Is this coupler suitable for underground use?

Yes, its robust construction and resistance to UV and frost make it well-suited for outdoor and underground applications.

Do I need any special tools for installation?

Basic tools like a wrench for final tightening are recommended, but the primary connection is hand-tightened. No specialized pipe joining equipment is typically required.

What is the role of the captive O-ring?

The captive O-ring is essential for creating a watertight seal, preventing any water from escaping the connection.

Can I use this coupler with metal pipes?

This coupler is designed specifically for MDPE and MDPE irrigation pipes. It is not intended for use with metal pipes.

What does '63mm x 2"' refer to?

This indicates the pipe's nominal diameter (63mm) that the coupler fits on one end, and the male thread size (2 inches) on the other end.

How long will this coupler last in outdoor conditions?

Due to its robust Polypropylene construction and resistance to UV and frost, it is designed for long-term durability in outdoor environments.

Troubleshooting

Leak at the connection point

Ensure the pipe is fully inserted and the nut is tightened sufficiently. Verify that a pipe liner is used with MDPE pipes. Check for any debris on the pipe end or inside the fitting.

Difficulty inserting the pipe

Ensure the pipe end is cut square and is free of burrs. Slightly chamfering the pipe end can help. Ensure the correct pipe size is being used with the fitting.

Fitting does not appear to seal properly

Confirm the captive O-ring is correctly seated and undamaged. Retighten the compression nut. Ensure the pipe surface is smooth where the seal makes contact.
