The FloPlast MDPE Adaptor (Skip20A) is an essential plumbing component designed for professional contractors and DIY enthusiasts who require a secure, transitionary link between 20mm MDPE piping and 15mm copper pipework. Offering high-pressure resistance and a robust, leak-resistant seal, this adaptor is an ideal choice for stopcock installations and water supply repairs. While it provides exceptional structural integrity, users should ensure their pipe ends are cut squarely to ensure a proper fit during the compression or push-fit assembly process.

This adaptor is primarily designed for MDPE water supply lines, which are typically used for cold water services. Consult your local plumbing codes before using with high-temperature hot water lines.
Yes, the materials are chosen for durability and are commonly used in underground water service connections.
You will need standard plumbing tools like a pipe cutter and a wrench. No proprietary or specialized tools are required for the installation.
It is generally recommended to use new components for critical plumbing connections, although some compression fittings may be reused if the internal seal and threads are in perfect condition.
It refers to the material's resistance to Poly-Olefin degradation, ensuring the fitting maintains its structural integrity over time when exposed to various water conditions.
Check that the pipe ends were cut squarely and that there is no debris in the connection. If the leak persists, verify the fitting is tightened correctly and that the seals are not misaligned.
Ensure the pipe has been chamfered slightly and is free of burrs. Using a small amount of silicone lubricant can facilitate insertion in some configurations.
To install, ensure the 20mm MDPE pipe is cut squarely and that the outer surface is clean and free from scratches. If using a compression-style fitting, verify that the olive is properly seated before tightening the nut. Do not overtighten, as this can damage the internal seals; firm pressure with a wrench is usually sufficient. Regularly inspect the joint after installation for any signs of moisture, particularly during the first 24 hours of operation. If the system remains pressurized, periodic visual inspections for signs of external wear or corrosion on the pipework are recommended to maintain long-term structural integrity.
