FAQs
What is the maximum pressure this kit can handle?
The MDPE fittings and associated components in this kit are designed to withstand up to 10 bars of pressure.
Can I use this kit for hot water?
This kit is primarily designed for cold water supply and irrigation. It is not recommended for high-temperature hot water applications.
What tools are required for installation?
Installation of the MDPE flange typically requires a pipe cutter and an adjustable wrench or specific MDPE fitting tools for tightening the compression nut. The Geka fitting is tool-free.
Is the brass bib tap frost-proof?
While brass is corrosion-resistant, the tap itself is not inherently frost-proof. It is recommended to drain the tap and connected hoses during freezing weather to prevent damage.
How do I clean the MDPE wall flange?
The MDPE flange is generally maintenance-free. If cleaning is necessary, use a damp cloth and mild soap. Avoid harsh chemicals that could degrade the plastic.
What is the thread size for the Geka fitting?
The Geka Type Claw Fitting included in this kit is 1" BSP.
Troubleshooting
Leak at the MDPE flange connection
Ensure the MDPE pipe is fully inserted and the compression nut is tightened evenly and securely. Check the pipe end for damage.
Bib tap is dripping or not fully closing
Inspect the tap's internal mechanism for debris or wear. If wear is evident, the tap may need replacement.
Geka fitting is difficult to connect or disconnect
Check the Geka claw fitting and the coupling for dirt, debris, or damage. Clean both parts thoroughly. Ensure the coupling is the correct size and type.
Low water pressure at the outlet
Verify all connections are tight and there are no blockages in the system. Ensure the incoming water supply pressure is adequate.
