FAQs

Do I need special tools to install this kit?

No, the MDPE compression fittings do not require specialized tools. A standard adjustable wrench or pipe wrench may be useful for tightening the brass tap.

What is MDPE?

MDPE stands for Medium-Density Polyethylene, a durable and flexible plastic commonly used in piping systems for water supply and irrigation.

What does 'BSP' mean?

BSP stands for British Standard Pipe. It refers to a set of standardized threads used for pipes and fittings.

Is this kit suitable for drinking water?

While MDPE is often used for potable water, the suitability of the entire kit for drinking water depends on local regulations and certifications. The brass components should be lead-free for potable applications.

How do I attach a hose to the brass tap?

You attach your standard garden hose to the provided brass tap adaptor, which features a snap-on mechanism for quick and secure connection.

What is the pressure rating of the MDPE fittings?

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

Where can I buy PTFE tape?

PTFE tape, also known as Teflon tape, is widely available at hardware stores, plumbing supply shops, and online retailers.

Troubleshooting

Leaking connection at the wall flange

Ensure the MDPE pipe is fully inserted and the compression nut is tightened evenly and firmly. Check the pipe end for damage or unevenness.

Tap is dripping when turned off

The internal washer may be worn or damaged. If the issue persists after tightening, the tap may need servicing or replacement.

Hose won't connect to the snap-on adaptor

Ensure the hose end is compatible with the quick-connect fitting and is free from debris. Check that the adaptor is fully open and the hose connector is aligned correctly before pushing.

Low water flow from the tap

Check for any kinks in the MDPE pipe or the connected hose. Ensure the tap handle is fully open. Check the main water supply pressure.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup:

Ensure the 20mm MDPE pipe is cut cleanly and squarely.
Insert the MDPE pipe into the wall flange compression fitting. Tighten the compression nut securely to create a leak-free seal.
For the brass tap, screw the ½” BSP male inlet thread directly onto the corresponding fitting on the wall flange. For optimal sealing, use PTFE tape (not included) on the threads before tightening.
Attach the snap-on tap adaptor to the outlet of the brass garden tap. Ensure it clicks into place securely.

The tap adaptor is compatible with standard garden hoses that accept a quick-connect fitting.

Care:
