Extended Product Information

FAQs

What type of pipe does the wall flange connect to?

The wall flange is designed to connect to 25mm MDPE (Medium-Density Polyethylene) pipes using compression fittings.

What is the maximum water pressure this kit can handle?

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

Do I need any special tools to install the Geka fitting?

No, Geka type fittings are designed for tool-free connection and disconnection. They utilize a simple claw mechanism.

Is PTFE tape included with the kit?

No, PTFE tape is not included in this kit and must be purchased separately for sealing the threaded BSP connections.

What is the material of the ball valve?

The large single union ball valve is constructed from robust polypropylene (PP) plastic, offering excellent resistance to corrosion and wear.

Can this kit be used for potable water systems?

While the materials are generally suitable for water, always ensure compliance with local regulations for potable water applications, as specific certifications may be required.

How do I clean the components?

Clean the exterior of the fittings with a damp cloth. Avoid using abrasive cleaners or solvents that could damage the plastic or seals.

Troubleshooting

Leaking connection at BSP threads

Ensure PTFE tape has been applied correctly and sufficiently to the male threads. Tighten the fitting further, but do not overtighten to avoid damaging threads. Check for any debris on the threads.

Geka fitting is difficult to connect/disconnect

Check the claws on both the fitting and the connector for any dirt, damage, or obstructions. Ensure the rubber seal is properly seated and not pinched.

Ball valve is stiff or hard to turn

Operate the valve several times to help loosen it. Ensure there are no obstructions in the valve body. If the issue persists, consider the need for replacement, although this is rare with PP valves.

Reduced water flow

Ensure the ball valve is fully open. Check for any blockages within the MDPE pipe, the valve, or the Geka fitting. Inspect the main water supply pressure.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Durable and long-lasting MDPE and PP construction
  • Resistant to corrosion, chemicals, and harsh weather conditions
  • Easy and quick installation with secure, leak-free connections
  • Versatile applications in water supply, irrigation, and industrial settings
  • Large valve handle provides excellent control
  • Geka fitting allows for rapid tool-free hose or pipe attachment

Cons

  • PTFE tape is required but not included
  • Maximum pressure limit of 10 bar may not be suitable for high-pressure systems
  • Brass Geka fitting may show signs of oxidation over time if not maintained
  • Requires basic plumbing knowledge for installation

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup:

  1. Ensure the wall surface is flat and suitable for mounting the wall flange.
  2. Connect the 25mm MDPE pipe to the wall flange using appropriate compression fittings (ensure the pipe is clean and de-burred).
  3. Apply PTFE tape (purchased separately) to the male BSP threads of the wall flange outlet.
  4. Screw the ¾” BSP Full Flow Single Union Ball Valve onto the wall flange outlet. Tighten securely.
  5. Apply PTFE tape to the male BSP threads of the valve outlet.
  6. Screw the ¾” BSP Geka Type Fitting onto the valve outlet. Tighten securely.
  7. If connecting a hose directly to the Geka fitting, ensure the hose has a compatible Geka claw connector.

Compatibility:

  • The kit uses standard ¾” BSP threaded connections, compatible with most plumbing fixtures and adapters.
  • The 25mm MDPE fittings are designed for use with 25mm High-Density Polyethylene (MDPE) pipes.
  • The Geka fitting is compatible with other standard Geka claw couplings.

Care:

  • Periodically inspect all connections for leaks. Tighten if necessary.
  • Clean the exterior of the fittings with a damp cloth. Avoid abrasive cleaners.
  • Ensure the ball valve is operated smoothly. Lubrication is generally not required due to the materials used.
  • Protect the Geka fitting's sealing surfaces from damage to maintain a watertight seal.
