Product Information

Full details

The FloPlast 25mm Compression Coupling is an essential plumbing component designed for professional contractors and DIY enthusiasts who require a reliable connection for 25mm MDPE cold water pipes. It offers the key benefit of rapid, leak-free installation without the need for specialized tools, making it ideal for both above and below-ground service lines. While highly durable and pressure-resistant, users should ensure the pipe ends are cut square and deburred to prevent connection failures, as improper preparation remains the primary cause of joint issues.

FAQs

Is this fitting suitable for hot water?

No, this compression coupling is specifically designed for cold water service applications.

Do I need any specialized tools to install this?

No, the fitting is designed to be tightened by hand, though a pipe cutter is recommended for a square end.

Can this be buried underground?

Yes, it is fully approved for both above and below-ground installations.

What is the maximum pressure rating?

The fitting is rated for pressure resistance up to 48 bars.

Is this compliant with UK regulations?

Yes, it is fully compliant with all relevant UK water bylaws.

Can I reuse the fitting?

While technically possible, it is recommended to use new components for critical water connections to ensure the integrity of the O-ring and grip ring.

Troubleshooting

Joint is leaking after installation

Ensure the pipe is pushed fully into the fitting body and that the pipe end was cut square and deburred.

Nut is difficult to tighten

Check that the pipe is properly aligned with the coupling and that there is no debris in the threads of the nut or body.

Pipe pulls out of the coupling

Verify that the pipe is inserted deep enough and the grip ring has engaged properly when the nut is tightened.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Simple, tool-free installation process
  • High pressure rating of 48 bars
  • Suitable for both indoor and outdoor burial
  • Compliant with UK water bylaws
  • Reliable and durable long-term connection

Cons

  • Requires proper pipe preparation (cutting and deburring)
  • Limited to 25mm piping systems
  • Cannot be used for high-temperature hot water lines

Setup, Compatibility & Care

To install the coupling, first ensure the MDPE pipe is cut cleanly and square. Remove any rough edges or burrs from the pipe end, as these can damage the internal O-ring seal. Slide the nut and grip ring onto the pipe, insert the pipe fully into the coupling body, and hand-tighten the nut firmly.

Compatibility is strictly limited to 25mm MDPE pipe; do not attempt to use this fitting with imperial-sized PVC or other dissimilar materials. For maintenance, once installed, it is recommended to monitor the joint during the first few days of pressurization. No regular lubrication is required, and the coupling is designed to remain maintenance-free for the lifespan of the piping system.
