Product Information

Full details

This HydroSure Nut Lock Tap Connector is designed for gardeners and landscapers who need a reliable, leak-proof connection between 21mm LDPE pipes and 3/4" BSP female threaded accessories. Its key benefit is the secure, anti-leak seal that can withstand pressures up to 6 bar, ensuring efficient water flow for irrigation systems. A minor caveat is its specific sizing, requiring compatibility with 21mm LDPE and 3/4" BSP fittings.

FAQs

What type of pipe does this connector work with?

This connector is specifically designed for 21mm outer diameter Low-Density Polyethylene (LDPE) pipes.

What size thread does the other end have?

The connector has a 3/4" BSP male thread designed to connect with 3/4" BSP female threaded accessories.

What is the maximum pressure this connector can handle?

The connector is designed to withstand water pressures of up to 6 bar.

Is this connector suitable for all types of garden hoses?

It is designed for LDPE pipes and fittings with a 3/4" BSP female thread. It is not a universal garden hose connector and may not fit standard hose couplings.

How do I ensure a leak-proof seal?

Insert the LDPE pipe fully into the connector and tighten the nut securely over the pipe. Ensure the 3/4" BSP fitting is also securely attached.

What does 'Nut Lock' refer to?

The 'Nut Lock' mechanism refers to the nut that is tightened over the LDPE pipe, compressing it to create a secure, anti-leak seal against the connector body.

Troubleshooting

Connector is leaking at the LDPE pipe connection.

Ensure the LDPE pipe is fully inserted and that the nut is tightened sufficiently. Check the LDPE pipe for any damage or deformation that might prevent a proper seal. Ensure the correct 21mm LDPE pipe is being used.

Difficulty attaching the 3/4" BSP fitting.

Verify that the fitting has a 3/4" BSP female thread. Clean the threads on both the fitting and the connector. Hand-tighten first, then use an appropriate wrench for a secure fit without overtightening.

Reduced water flow after installation.

Check for any internal obstructions within the connector or the connected pipe. Ensure the pipe is not kinked. Verify that the connection is fully secured and not partially blocked.

Built to withstand significant water pressure (up to 6 bar).

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup:

Ensure you have a length of 21mm LDPE pipe and a 3/4" BSP female threaded accessory (e.g., a tap, timer, or manifold).
Gently insert the end of the 21mm LDPE pipe into the larger opening of the connector until it reaches the internal stop.
Slide the nut over the pipe and onto the connector's threaded section.
Tighten the nut securely over the LDPE pipe. This action compresses the pipe against the connector, creating the water-tight seal.
Connect the 3/4" female thread of the accessory to the male thread of the connector and tighten.

Compatibility:

Compatible with 21mm outer diameter Low-Density Polyethylene (LDPE) pipes.
Compatible with standard 3/4" BSP (British Standard Pipe) female threaded fittings.
*Not* compatible with imperial pipe sizes or different thread types.

Care:

Periodically check connections for tightness, especially after prolonged use or significant temperature fluctuations.
Clean the connector and surrounding areas of debris to ensure optimal function.
Store connectors in a dry place when not in use to prolong their lifespan.
