Product Information
Full details
The MDPE Wall Fixing Flange is an essential component for DIYers and professional plumbers looking to anchor 20mm MDPE pipework securely to a flat surface. It provides a robust, watertight transition from flexible piping to a fixed 1/2" BSP female threaded component, making it ideal for irrigation outlets, mains water feeds, or industrial wall-mounted taps. While it offers excellent durability and simple installation, users must ensure the mounting surface is completely flat to prevent stress on the housing or potential leaks over time.

FAQs
Can this be used for hot water?
This fitting is primarily designed for cold mains water and irrigation systems; it is not recommended for high-temperature hot water pipes.
Do I need special tools to install this?
No, it uses a compression nut that can be tightened by hand or with standard plumbing pliers.
Is this suitable for outdoor use?
Yes, the materials are specifically chosen to be resistant to corrosion and external weather conditions.
What is the pressure rating?
This fitting is PN10 rated, meaning it supports a maximum operating pressure of 10 bar.
Can I connect this to a non-BSP threaded pipe?
No, the 1/2" female thread is standard BSP; attempting to force other thread types will damage the fitting.
Does it come with mounting screws?
Mounting hardware is usually provided by the installer to match the specific wall material (brick, wood, or metal).
Troubleshooting
Water leaking at the compression nut
Ensure the pipe is pushed fully home into the fitting and the olive is correctly seated; tighten the nut another quarter-turn.
Threaded connection is weeping
Unscrew the threaded component, re-apply a fresh layer of PTFE tape to the male threads, and tighten carefully.
Fitting feels loose on the wall
Verify that the mounting screws are driven into appropriate wall plugs or a solid backing surface.
Pros and Cons
Pros
- Secure and stable wall-mounting capability
- High pressure resistance up to 10 bar
- Corrosion-resistant for longevity
- Simple compression assembly
- Versatile for irrigation and mains supply
Cons
- Requires a perfectly flat surface for proper sealing
- Limited to 20mm pipe diameter
- Plastic threads can be cross-threaded if not aligned carefully
Setup, Compatibility & Care
To install, first ensure your MDPE pipe is cut cleanly and deburred. Insert the pipe through the compression nut and olive until it seats firmly against the stop. Tighten the nut firmly by hand or with a pipe wrench, but avoid over-tightening which could crack the plastic housing. For the 1/2" BSP connection, use PTFE tape on the male thread to ensure a watertight seal. Periodically inspect the fitting for signs of weeping, especially after extreme temperature fluctuations, and ensure the mounting screws remain tight to prevent vibration stress.
