FAQs

What size MDPE pipe does this kit fit?

This kit is designed specifically for 20mm MDPE pipes.

Do I need any special tools to install it?

No, the MDPE compression fitting does not require special tools. You will need standard tools for mounting the flange to a surface and potentially a wrench for tightening the tap connection.

Is PTFE tape included in the kit?

No, PTFE tape is not included. It needs to be purchased separately for ensuring a leak-free seal on the threaded tap connection.

What is the maximum water pressure this kit can handle?

The MDPE fittings are rated for PN10, which corresponds to a maximum pressure of 10 bars (approximately 145 psi).

Can I use this kit for drinking water?

While MDPE is often used for water supply, suitability for potable water depends on specific regulations and certifications. This kit is generally intended for garden and irrigation use.

How do I connect my garden hose?

The tap features a snap-on male quick-connect outlet. Simply push your standard garden hose connector onto this fitting until it clicks securely into place.

What is the tap made of?

The garden lever tap is crafted from zinc nickel-plated material, offering good strength and corrosion resistance.

Troubleshooting

Tap is leaking from the connection to the wall flange.

Ensure PTFE tape (or suitable thread sealant) was used on the male BSP thread and that the tap is tightened securely onto the flange.

Water flow is weak or intermittent.

Check that the lever tap is fully open. Ensure the MDPE pipe is not kinked or blocked. Verify that the hose connection is secure and that the hose itself is not obstructed.

Quick-connect hose fitting is difficult to attach or detach.

Ensure the hose connector is compatible with the snap-on fitting. Clean any debris from the connector and fitting. Try a slight rotation while pushing to engage or disengage.

MDPE pipe connection to the wall flange is leaking.

Verify the pipe is correctly inserted into the compression fitting and that the fitting nut is tightened securely. Ensure the pipe end is cut cleanly and squarely.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup:

  1. Identify a suitable flat surface for mounting the MDPE wall flange.
  2. Ensure the 20mm MDPE pipe is clean and prepared for connection.
  3. Using the compression fitting on the wall flange, securely connect it to the 20mm MDPE pipe. Ensure a tight seal.
  4. Mount the wall flange to the chosen surface using appropriate fixings (not included).
  5. Screw the Garden Lever Tap with the quick-connect outlet onto the 1/2" BSP male thread of the wall flange. *Note: For a secure, leak-free seal, apply PTFE tape (purchased separately) to the male thread before tightening.*
  6. Connect your garden hose to the snap-on quick-connect outlet.

Compatibility:

  • Pipe Type: Specifically designed for 20mm MDPE pipes.
  • Thread Size: The tap connection is 1/2" BSP male.

Care:

  • Periodically check connections for leaks and tighten if necessary.
  • Clean the exterior of the tap and flange with a damp cloth as needed.
  • In freezing conditions, ensure the tap is turned off and ideally drained to prevent internal damage.
