The Plasson 7950 MDPE Pipe Liner for 32mm Metric PE pipe delivers essential pipe wall support engi...The Plasson 7950 MDPE Pipe Liner for 32mm Metric PE pipe delivers essential pipe wall support engineered to exceed WRAS end load requirements. This precision liner ensures structural integrity at pipe joints in potable water installations. The simple slide-in design positions directly into the pipe end up to the flange before fitting insertion. This straightforward installation process reduces ovalisation by compensating for pipe ovality, guaranteeing watertight joint performance. WRAS approval confirms compliance with water industry standards, ensuring acceptance by water companies for drinking water systems. The liner provides reliable joint reinforcement across potable water distribution applications. Features & Benefits: Pipe wall support ensuring joint performance far exceeds WRAS end load requirements. Simple installation by sliding into pipe end up to flange before fitting insertion. Reduces ovalisation by compensating for pipe ovality and ensuring watertight joints. WRAS approved product accepted by water companies for drinking water systems. Designed for potable water distribution installations requiring reliable joint performance. For use with 32mm Metric PE pipe.

FAQs
What is the primary purpose of the Plasson MDPE Pipe Liner?
Its primary purpose is to provide internal support to the pipe wall at joints in 32mm Metric PE pipes, preventing deformation and ensuring a watertight, reliable connection that exceeds WRAS end load requirements.
Is this liner suitable for all types of PE pipe?
No, this liner is specifically designed for 32mm Metric PE pipe. Using it with other sizes or types of pipe may compromise performance and integrity.
Does the liner need to be secured in place?
No, the liner is held in place by the snug fit within the pipe and the pressure from the installed fitting. It is designed to be a slip-fit component.
What does WRAS approval mean for this product?
WRAS approval signifies that the product has met strict standards for quality, safety, and performance, ensuring it is suitable for use in public water supply systems in the UK and is accepted by water companies.
Can I use this liner with hot water systems?
This product is designed for potable water installations, which typically implies cold and mildly warm water systems. For high-temperature applications, consult Plasson's product specifications for suitability.
How does the liner prevent ovalisation?
By providing rigid internal support to the pipe wall, the liner prevents the pipe from collapsing or deforming (ovalising) when a fitting is being installed or under the pressure of the water system.
Where should the liner be positioned before fitting insertion?
The liner should be slid into the pipe end until it reaches the flange or the internal stop point, ensuring maximum support is provided to the area where the fitting will be applied.
Troubleshooting
Liner is difficult to insert into the pipe.
Ensure the pipe end is clean and free of obstructions. Check that you are using the correct 32mm Metric PE pipe. Slightly rotating the liner during insertion may help.
Fitting does not seal correctly after liner installation.
Verify the liner has been inserted fully to the correct depth. Ensure the pipe has not been over-ovalised before liner insertion. Check the fitting itself for damage or defects.
Concerns about liner longevity in the system.
The liner is made from durable materials suitable for potable water and is designed to provide long-term support. WRAS approval indicates compliance with rigorous standards for such applications.
Pros and Cons
Pros

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup:
Ensure the end of the 32mm Metric PE pipe is clean and free from debris.
Gently slide the Plasson MDPE Pipe Liner into the pipe end until it reaches the flange or the designated stop point.
Proceed with the installation of your chosen pipe fitting (e.g., compression or push-fit coupling) over the supported pipe end.
Compatibility:
This liner is specifically designed for 32mm Metric PE pipe.
It is suitable for use in potable water installations.
Always ensure compatibility with the specific fitting being used, although it is designed for standard plumbing applications.
Care:
The pipe liner itself requires no maintenance once installed.
Ensure the pipe ends are clean before installation to prevent any obstructions.
Store liners in a clean, dry environment away from direct sunlight when not in use.
