The FloPlast Reducing Coupling (25mm x 20mm) is a reliable compression fitting engineered for professionals and DIY enthusiasts who need to connect MDPE pipes of varying diameters securely. Providing a robust, leak-resistant seal that absorbs thermal and mechanical stress, this fitting is ideal for diverse plumbing projects; however, users must ensure they utilize the correct pipe inserts to maintain structural integrity under pressure.

While these fittings can be dismantled, it is highly recommended to replace the O-ring or use a new fitting to ensure the integrity of the watertight seal.
No, it is a compression fitting designed for hand tightening, though a strap wrench may assist in achieving the final torque.
No, this product is specifically designed for MDPE water pipe systems and must not be used for gas applications.
Yes, using an insert is essential for MDPE pipes to provide structural support, preventing the pipe from deforming under the compression of the nut.
This specific coupling transitions between 25mm and 20mm MDPE pipe.
Ensure the pipe was fully inserted past the O-ring and check that a pipe support liner is installed.
Check the threads for debris and ensure the pipe is correctly aligned with the fitting axis.
To install, cut the MDPE pipe squarely using a suitable pipe cutter. Ensure the end is free from burrs or sharp edges that could damage the internal O-ring. Insert the appropriate pipe support liner into the pipe end to prevent collapse during compression. Slide the pipe fully into the fitting until it hits the internal stop. Hand-tighten the nut firmly; typically, one extra turn with a strap wrench is sufficient to ensure a seal without over-tightening. Regularly inspect the joint for signs of seepage after initial pressurization and periodically during routine property maintenance.
