Extended Product Information

FAQs

What is MDPE?

MDPE stands for Medium-Density Polyethylene, a type of plastic commonly used for pipes in water distribution, irrigation, and other fluid transfer applications due to its durability, flexibility, and resistance to corrosion.

What does BSP mean?

BSP stands for British Standard Pipe. It is a set of standardized pipe threads used for mechanical joints and plumbing. In this kit, ¾” BSP refers to the size and type of thread.

What is a Geka type coupling?

A Geka type coupling is a quick-connect hose fitting system known for its robust design and tool-free assembly. It uses interlocking claws to create a secure and watertight connection.

Is PTFE tape included?

No, PTFE tape is not included in this kit and must be purchased separately. It is recommended for use on all threaded connections to ensure a leak-free seal.

What is the maximum pressure this kit can handle?

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

Can this kit be used for potable water?

While the materials are generally resistant to water, the kit's suitability for potable water depends on local regulations and the specific certification of each component. It is most commonly used for irrigation and industrial applications.

How do I disconnect a hose from the Geka coupling?

To disconnect, simply twist the outer sleeve of the Geka coupling in the opposite direction of connection and pull the hose fitting away.

Troubleshooting

Leak at MDPE connection

Ensure the MDPE pipe is fully inserted and the compression nut is tightened sufficiently. Check for any debris or damage on the pipe or fitting.

Leak at threaded connections (valve or Geka)

Disassemble and reapply PTFE tape (purchased separately) to the male threads. Ensure fittings are screwed on straight and tightened firmly.

Geka coupling won't lock onto hose fitting

Check that the hose fitting is a standard Geka type. Ensure the Geka coupling is clean and the internal seal is free from obstructions. The hose fitting may be worn or damaged.

Valve is stiff or difficult to turn

Check for any debris obstructing the valve mechanism. If persistent, the valve may need replacement.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Provides a complete, integrated solution for connecting MDPE pipes to external water sources.
  • Durable construction ensures longevity and resistance to environmental factors.
  • Tool-free Geka coupling allows for rapid hose connections.
  • Soft-touch valve offers precise and comfortable water flow control.
  • Suitable for various applications including irrigation, construction, and industrial use.

Cons

  • PTFE tape is required for sealing but is not included in the kit.
  • Primarily designed for specific MDPE pipe sizes (25mm) and BSP thread sizes.
  • Plastic valve may be less durable than all-metal alternatives in extremely high-stress environments.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup:

  1. Prepare the MDPE Pipe: Ensure the 25mm MDPE pipe end is clean and properly prepared for compression fitting.
  2. Connect to Wall Flange: Insert the MDPE pipe into the 25mm compression fitting on the wall flange. Tighten the compression nut securely to create a leak-free seal. If connecting to an existing threaded outlet, use the ¾” BSP male thread of the flange.
  3. Install the Valve: Screw the 3/4" BSP Male inlet of the In-Line Soft Touch Valve onto the outlet of the wall flange. Ensure a tight connection; *PTFE tape (purchased separately) is recommended for threaded connections to ensure a watertight seal.*
  4. Attach the Geka Coupling: Screw the Geka Type Claw Brass fitting onto the outlet of the In-Line Soft Touch Valve. Ensure it is hand-tight.
  5. Connect Hose: To connect a hose, simply push the Geka hose end into the coupling and twist the outer sleeve to lock it securely.

Compatibility:

  • This kit is designed for 25mm MDPE (Medium-Density Polyethylene) pipes.
  • All threaded connections utilize the ¾” BSP (British Standard Pipe) thread size.
  • The Geka coupling is a universal type, compatible with most standard Geka-style hose fittings.

Care:

  • Regularly inspect all connections for leaks.
  • Clean the exterior of the fittings with a damp cloth as needed. Avoid abrasive cleaners.
  • Ensure the Geka coupling seal is free from debris to maintain a good connection.
  • For prolonged periods of non-use, drain the system to prevent freezing or sediment buildup.
