FAQs

Is this pipe suitable for hot water?

No, this MDPE pipe is specifically designed for cold water supply services only.

Can I use this for underground installation?

Yes, it is designed for cold water service lines buried underground.

Do I need special tools to install this?

You need a standard pipe cutter and appropriate MDPE compression fittings; no solvent welding is required.

Is the pipe blue for a specific reason?

Yes, the blue color is the industry standard for identifying pipes that carry potable cold water.

What is the pressure rating?

Pipelife MDPE pipes are generally rated for standard cold water mains pressure; please refer to the specific PN rating printed on the pipe sidewall for exact tolerances.

Troubleshooting

Fitting leaking at the connection point

Ensure the pipe end is deburred and cut squarely. Check that the O-ring inside the fitting is seated correctly and not pinched.

Pipe is too rigid to uncoil

Allow the pipe to sit in a warm area for several hours or use a pipe uncoiling tool to manage the tension.

Pros and Cons

Pros

WRAS approved for potable water safety
High resistance to environmental stress and chemicals
Continuous coil design minimizes coupling points
Suitable for direct burial in underground trenching

Cons

Requires specific MDPE compression fittings
Can be stiff and difficult to uncoil in cold temperatures
Not intended for high-temperature hot water applications

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Installation of this pipe requires standard MDPE mechanical compression fittings. Always ensure the pipe ends are cut square and deburred before inserting them into the fitting to ensure a watertight seal.

Use a pipe cutter to achieve a perfectly perpendicular cut.
Apply a light chamfer to the pipe edge to prevent damaging the internal O-ring of the fitting.
Ensure the pipe is fully inserted past the O-ring until it reaches the stop.
Tighten the compression nut by hand and then with a wrench according to the fitting manufacturer's specifications.

To maintain the integrity of the system, avoid dragging the pipe across jagged surfaces during installation, and always backfill trenches with sand or pea shingle rather than large, sharp stones.
