FAQs

What type of pipes can I connect with this adaptor?

This adaptor is designed to connect MDPE and MDPE irrigation pipes.

Is a pipe liner always required?

A pipe liner is required when connecting MDPE piping. It is not necessary for MDPE unless specifically recommended by the pipe manufacturer.

How do I ensure a watertight seal?

Push the pipe fully into the fitting and tighten the compression nut securely. The captive O-ring creates the seal.

Can this fitting be used underground?

Yes, the fitting is robust and designed for outdoor use, including underground applications, provided it is installed correctly.

What does 'Female Adaptor 32mmx1"' mean?

It means the fitting connects to a 32mm pipe on one side and has a 1-inch female (internal) thread on the other side.

How much force should I use when tightening?

Tighten the nut firmly by hand, then use a wrench for an additional quarter to half turn. Avoid overtightening, which can damage the fitting or pipe.

Is this fitting resistant to chemicals?

While made from robust Polypropylene, its primary resistance is to environmental factors like UV and frost. For specific chemical resistance, consult the manufacturer's detailed specifications.

Troubleshooting

Leak at the connection

Ensure the pipe is fully inserted and the compression nut is tightened adequately. Check if a pipe liner was used for MDPE and if it is correctly seated. Inspect the O-ring for damage.

Difficulty inserting pipe

Ensure the pipe end is clean and not deformed. Slightly chamfering the pipe end can help. Verify the pipe diameter matches the fitting size.

Fitting appears brittle or cracked

Inspect for damage that may have occurred during installation or due to extreme environmental conditions. If damaged, replace the fitting.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup:

  1. Ensure the pipe end is clean, free from dirt, and cut squarely.
  2. If connecting MDPE pipe, insert a suitable pipe liner into the pipe end.
  3. Push the pipe firmly into the fitting until it is fully seated.
  4. Tighten the compression nut by hand, then use a wrench to tighten an additional quarter to half turn to secure the seal. Do not overtighten.

  • Compatible with MDPE and MDPE irrigation pipes.
  • Requires a 1" female thread for connection to other fittings or components.
