Product Information

Full details

This Wall Flange Kit is designed for plumbing professionals and DIY enthusiasts needing to connect 25mm MDPE pipes to flat surfaces. Its primary benefit is providing a secure, leak-free connection with easy installation due to its compression fittings. A key caveat is that PTFE tape is not included and must be purchased separately. The kit includes a durable MDPE wall flange and a robust plastic lever tap with a secure hose barb outlet, offering a reliable solution for water supply, irrigation, and industrial applications.

FAQs

What is MDPE?

MDPE stands for Medium-Density Polyethylene, a type of plastic commonly used for underground pipes due to its durability, flexibility, and resistance to corrosion.

Do I need special tools to install this kit?

No, the compression fittings on the MDPE wall flange do not require special tools. A standard wrench is recommended for tightening the tap to the flange.

Is PTFE tape required for installation?

PTFE tape is recommended for the threaded connection between the tap and the wall flange to ensure a watertight seal. It is not typically used on the MDPE compression fittings.

What is the maximum pressure this kit can handle?

The MDPE fittings are rated PN10, meaning 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, compatibility for potable water depends on specific local regulations and the material's certification for drinking water standards, which is not specified in this product description.

What size hose fits the tap's outlet?

The tap features a ½” hose barb outlet, designed to securely fit standard ½” hoses.

Can I buy replacement parts for this kit?

Replacement parts would typically need to be sourced from the manufacturer or a specialized plumbing supplier based on the part numbers (MDPEWF25-34BSPF for the flange, GTM3412PVC for the tap) or dimensions.

Troubleshooting

Leak at the compression fitting

Ensure the MDPE pipe is cut square and inserted fully. Re-tighten the compression nut. If the issue persists, check the pipe for damage or consider using PTFE tape on the fitting (though typically not required for MDPE compression fittings).

Tap is not sealing properly

Ensure PTFE tape is correctly applied to the tap's ¾” BSP thread before screwing into the flange. Check that the tap is tightened sufficiently. Inspect the tap's internal mechanism for debris.

Hose slips off the tap's barb

Use a hose clip or clamp to secure the hose to the ½” barb outlet. Ensure the hose is suitable for the barb size and is not too stiff.

Low water flow

Check for blockages in the connected MDPE pipe or the tap's internal valve. Ensure the main water supply is fully open.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Easy installation with no special tools required
  • Durable and corrosion-resistant materials ensure long service life
  • Provides a secure, leak-free connection for various water applications
  • Versatile for use in water supply, irrigation, and industrial settings
  • Cost-effective solution for extending piping systems

Cons

  • PTFE tape for sealing is not included and must be purchased separately
  • Plastic tap may be less durable than metal alternatives in high-impact scenarios
  • Compression fittings require careful tightening to avoid overtightening and potential damage
  • Hose barb size limits hose compatibility to ½” fittings

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup:

  1. Identify the desired mounting location on a flat surface.
  2. Ensure the surface can support the connection securely.
  3. Attach the 25mm MDPE pipe to the wall flange using the compression fitting. Ensure the pipe is fully inserted and the nut is tightened securely but not excessively.
  4. Mount the wall flange to the surface using appropriate fixings (not included).
  5. Attach the plastic lever tap to the ¾” BSP thread on the wall flange. Hand-tighten initially, then use a wrench for a firm seal. *Note: PTFE tape should be applied to the tap's thread before attaching to the flange for optimal sealing.*
  6. Connect a hose to the ½” barb outlet of the tap, ensuring a snug fit.

Compatibility:

  • Primarily designed for 25mm MDPE pipes.
  • The tap is compatible with standard garden hoses that fit a ½” barb connector.
  • The ¾” BSP thread on the flange is a standard plumbing size.

Care:

  • Regularly check connections for leaks and tighten if necessary.
  • Clean the exterior of the tap and flange with a damp cloth; avoid abrasive cleaners.
  • Ensure the tap is not left under continuous pressure if not in use for extended periods, especially in freezing conditions.
