FAQs

What is MDPE pipe?

MDPE stands for Medium Density Polyethylene, a type of plastic pipe commonly used for underground cold water services and gas distribution.

Can this end plug be used for permanent installations?

While it provides a secure seal, it's best suited for temporary or accessible end-of-line applications. For permanent high-pressure lines, other joining methods or specific rated fittings might be more appropriate.

What tools are needed for installation?

No specific tools are generally required for installation; it is designed for a push-in and turn mechanism.

How do I remove the end plug?

To remove the plug, turn the outer collar counter-clockwise until it disengages, then pull the plug out of the pipe.

What is the temperature range for this fitting?

This fitting is designed for cold water applications. Consult the manufacturer for specific temperature limitations.

Is this fitting suitable for gas pipes?

This fitting is typically used for water systems. For gas lines, specific gas-rated fittings must be used.

Troubleshooting

Plug is difficult to insert

Ensure the pipe end is clean, round, and free of burrs. Slightly moistening the pipe end might help with insertion.

Fitting is leaking

Verify the plug is fully seated and the locking collar is tightened correctly. Check the pipe for damage or imperfections at the point of connection.

Plug will not lock in place

Ensure you are using a standard 20mm MDPE pipe. Check that the pipe end is correctly inserted before attempting to turn and lock the collar.
