FAQs

What is MDPE?

MDPE stands for Medium-Density Polyethylene, a type of plastic commonly used for water pipes due to its flexibility, durability, and resistance to corrosion.

Do I need special tools to install this kit?

No, the compression fittings on the MDPE wall flange generally do not require special tools, only a standard wrench to tighten the compression nut. The tap connects via a BSP thread and a quick-connect system.

What is the maximum water pressure this kit can handle?

The MDPE PN10 pipe fittings are engineered to withstand a maximum pressure of 10 bars (approximately 145 psi).

Is PTFE tape included in the kit?

No, PTFE tape is not included in this kit and must be purchased separately. It is recommended for ensuring a leak-free seal on the threaded connection between the wall flange and the garden tap.

Can this tap be used indoors?

While durable, the tap is specifically designed as a 'Garden Bib Tap' with a quick-connect outlet, making it most suitable for outdoor watering and general outdoor use. Indoor plumbing applications may require different types of fittings.

How do I detach the garden hose?

To detach the hose, pull back the outer collar of the quick-connect fitting on the tap while simultaneously pulling the hose connector away.

What is the thread size of the wall flange connection?

The MDPE Wall Flange has a ¾” BSP (British Standard Pipe) male thread.

Troubleshooting

Tap is leaking from the thread connection.

Ensure PTFE tape has been applied correctly to the flange's BSP thread before screwing on the tap. Tighten the tap further if possible, but do not overtighten.

Hose won't connect to the quick-connect outlet.

Ensure the hose connector is compatible with standard quick-connect fittings. Check for any debris in the tap's outlet or the hose connector and clean if necessary. Push firmly until it clicks.

Low water pressure from the tap.

Check that the main water supply is fully open. Ensure the MDPE pipe is not kinked or blocked. Verify the tap itself is fully open.

MDPE pipe won't seat properly in the flange.

Ensure the end of the MDPE pipe is cut perfectly square and deburred. Make sure the pipe is fully inserted into the flange spigot before tightening the compression nut.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Durable brass construction for longevity and corrosion resistance.
  • Easy installation with compression fittings, no special tools required.
  • Quick-connect outlet simplifies hose attachment and detachment.
  • Reliable, leak-free connections for peace of mind.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup:

  1. Ensure the 25mm MDPE pipe is clean and cut square.
  2. Slide the compression nut and then the olive onto the end of the MDPE pipe.
  3. Insert the MDPE Wall Flange (MDPEWF25-34BSPF) spigot into the pipe end.
  4. Tighten the compression nut securely onto the flange body. Use PTFE tape on the ¾” BSP male thread of the flange before connecting the brass tap for a leak-free seal (PTFE tape not included).
  5. Screw the Brass Click Lock Outlet Tap (GTBIB34BRASS001Q) onto the flange's threaded connection.
  6. Attach your garden hose to the tap's quick-connect outlet by pushing until it clicks.

Compatibility:

  • This kit is designed for use with 25mm MDPE (Medium-Density Polyethylene) pipes.
  • The wall flange has a ¾” BSP male thread.
  • The outlet tap features a standard quick-connect fitting compatible with most garden hoses.

Care:

  • Periodically check connections for tightness.
  • Clean the brass tap with a soft, damp cloth. Avoid abrasive cleaners.
  • In freezing conditions, ensure the tap is turned off and drained to prevent damage.
