FAQs

What type of pipe is this adapter for?

This adapter is specifically designed for 32mm MDPE (Medium Density Polyethylene) pipe.

What is the thread size for the other end of the adapter?

Can this adapter be used for hot water systems?

No, this adapter is rated for cold water systems only.

What is the maximum pressure rating?

The adapter has a PN16 rating, which means it can handle up to 16 bar of pressure.

How do I ensure a leak-proof connection?

Ensure the MDPE pipe is correctly inserted into the adapter and the compression nut is tightened securely. For the 1" threaded connection, use appropriate thread sealant or tape.

What standards does this adapter meet?

It meets several standards including UNI 9561-9562, UNI EN 712-713-715, UNI ISO 7/1, ISO 14236, and UNI 2233.

Is this adapter suitable for underground installation?

Yes, its robust construction and resistance to thermal and mechanical stress make it suitable for underground cold water systems.

Troubleshooting

Leak at the 32mm pipe connection

Ensure the pipe is fully inserted into the adapter body. Check that the pipe is cut squarely and is not damaged. Retighten the compression nut, ensuring it is snug but not overtightened.

Difficulty connecting the 32mm pipe

Verify you are using the correct 32mm MDPE pipe. Ensure the end of the pipe is clean and free of burrs. Slightly warming the end of the pipe in warm water (not hot) can sometimes make insertion easier.

Leak at the 1" threaded connection

Ensure the mating 1" fitting has a suitable thread sealant or tape applied. Check that the threads are clean and undamaged. Ensure the fitting is tightened appropriately.

Adapter cracked or damaged

Inspect the adapter for visible cracks or damage. If damage is found, the adapter must be replaced. Ensure proper handling and installation to prevent future damage.
