Product Information

Full details

This Akor Wall Flange Kit is designed for homeowners and DIY enthusiasts needing a robust and reliable external water connection for their MDPE piping systems. Its key benefit is providing a durable, leak-free interface for garden hoses and water supply, combining a secure MDPE fitting with a convenient brass tap and quick-connect outlet. A minor caveat is that PTFE tape is not included and must be purchased separately for a complete seal.

FAQs

What size MDPE pipe does this kit fit?

This kit is designed for 20mm MDPE pipes.

Do I need any special tools for installation?

For the MDPE connection, a pipe cutter and appropriate wrench for tightening may be useful. The Geka connector attaches tool-free. PTFE tape is recommended for the tap thread, which requires manual tightening.

Is PTFE tape included in the kit?

No, PTFE tape is not included in this kit and needs to be purchased separately for sealing the tap connection.

What is a Geka type connector?

A Geka type connector is a quick-connect coupling system for hoses, featuring symmetrical claws that allow for fast, tool-free connection and disconnection, commonly used for water transfer.

What is the pressure rating for the MDPE fittings?

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

Can I use this tap for hot water?

This brass garden bib tap is primarily designed for cold water outdoor use. It is not recommended for hot water applications.

How do I maintain the brass tap?

Wipe the brass tap with a damp cloth to clean. Avoid using abrasive materials that could scratch the surface. Ensure the tap is shut off and drained during winter to prevent frost damage.

Troubleshooting

Leak at the MDPE pipe connection

Ensure the 20mm MDPE pipe is fully inserted into the compression fitting and that the fitting collar is securely tightened. Re-seat the pipe and tighten again.

Leak at the bib tap thread

Remove the bib tap. Apply new PTFE tape (purchased separately) to the 1/2" BSP male thread of the tap and re-tighten securely into the wall flange.

Geka connector is difficult to attach/detach

Check the Geka connector for debris or damage. Ensure the hose end is correctly aligned with the claws. Clean the rubber seals if necessary.

Low water flow from the tap

Ensure the bib tap is fully open. Check for any blockages within the MDPE pipe or at the tap's inlet. Verify that the main water supply is adequate.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup:

  1. Ensure the 20mm MDPE pipe is clean and prepared for connection.
  2. Attach the MDPE Wall Flange (MDPEWF20-1/2"BSPF) to the end of the 20mm MDPE pipe using its compression fitting. Ensure it is tightened securely for a leak-free seal.
  3. Screw the 1/2" BSP Male Garden Bib Tap (GTBIB1/2BRASS) into the 1/2" BSP Female thread of the wall flange. Use PTFE tape (purchased separately) on the male thread for an optimal seal.
  4. Connect the 3/4" BSP Female Geka Type Connector (GK3/4"BSPF) to the outlet of the brass bib tap. This is typically a simple push and twist mechanism.

Compatibility:

  • The kit is designed for 20mm MDPE pipes.
  • The bib tap has a 1/2" BSP Male inlet thread.
  • The Geka connector is 3/4" BSP Female, compatible with standard Geka type hoses and fittings.

Care:

  • Periodically check all connections for leaks, especially after initial installation and during seasonal changes.
  • Clean the brass tap and Geka connector with a soft, damp cloth. Avoid abrasive cleaners.
  • In freezing conditions, ensure the tap is turned off and ideally drained to prevent frost damage.
