FAQs

What type of pipe does this kit work with?

This kit is specifically designed for MDPE (Medium-Density Polyethylene) pipes. The wall flange features a compression fitting suitable for connecting MDPE pipes.

Do I need special tools to install this kit?

No, the compression fittings on the MDPE wall flange are designed for easy installation without specialized tools. Standard wrenches may be needed for tightening the BSP connections.

Is PTFE tape included with the kit?

No, PTFE tape is not included in this kit. It needs to be purchased separately to ensure a leak-free seal on the threaded connections.

What is the maximum water pressure this kit can handle?

The MDPE fittings in this kit are engineered to withstand a maximum pressure of 10 bars (approximately 145 psi).

How does the Click-Lock Quick Connector work?

The male Click-Lock Quick Connector on the valve allows you to push a compatible female fitting onto it until it clicks securely into place, creating a fast and reliable connection. To detach, you typically pull back a collar on the connector.

Can I use this kit for hot water systems?

This kit is primarily designed for cold water applications like supply and irrigation. It is not recommended for high-temperature hot water systems.

What is the advantage of the 'Soft Touch' valve?

The 'Soft Touch' feature refers to the smooth and effortless operation of the valve handle, allowing for precise and easy control of water flow without requiring significant force.

Troubleshooting

Leak at the compression fitting

Ensure the MDPE pipe is fully inserted into the fitting and the compression nut is tightened evenly and securely. Check the pipe for damage where it meets the fitting. If the issue persists, re-seat the pipe and re-tighten.

Leak at the BSP threaded connection

Ensure PTFE tape (purchased separately) was applied correctly to the male threads before screwing the valve onto the flange. Tighten the connection firmly. If a leak persists, remove the valve, reapply PTFE tape, and re-tighten.

Water flow is restricted or does not turn on/off properly

Check the soft-touch valve's lever for full engagement in the open and closed positions. Ensure there are no obstructions within the valve or the connected piping. Operate the valve several times to ensure smooth movement.

Quick-lock connector won't attach or detach

Ensure the accessory being attached is a compatible male Click-Lock fitting. Check for debris in the connector mechanism. Try detaching by pulling back the collar firmly. If stuck, a gentle wiggle might help.

Low water pressure after installation

Verify that the main water supply is open and providing adequate pressure. Ensure the soft-touch valve is fully open. Check all connections for partial blockages or kinks in the MDPE pipe.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Easy to install compression fittings require no specialized tools.
  • Quick-lock connector simplifies hose and accessory changes.
  • Durable and corrosion-resistant materials ensure longevity.
  • Precise water flow control with the soft-touch valve.
  • Versatile for water supply, irrigation, and industrial applications.

Cons

  • PTFE tape is not included and must be bought separately.
  • Primarily designed for MDPE pipes, limiting use with other pipe types.
  • Plastic construction may be less suitable for extremely high-impact environments compared to metal.
  • Quick connector may not be compatible with all hose fittings.
  • Maximum pressure rating of 10 bar may not be sufficient for all high-pressure systems.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup

  1. Prepare the Surface: Ensure the flat surface where the wall flange will be mounted is clean and smooth.
  2. Connect the Pipe: Slide the MDPE pipe into the compression fitting on the wall flange until it is fully seated. Tighten the compression nut firmly to create a secure, leak-free seal.
  3. Mount the Flange: Secure the wall flange to the flat surface using appropriate fixings (not included).
  4. Attach the Valve: Screw the 3/4" BSP Male connection of the soft-touch valve onto the corresponding threaded outlet of the wall flange. For a secure seal, wrap PTFE tape (purchased separately) around the threads before tightening.
  5. Connect Accessories: Attach hoses or accessories to the male Click-Lock Quick Connector on the valve outlet by pushing the connector until it clicks into place.

Compatibility

  • Pipe Type: Designed specifically for MDPE (Medium-Density Polyethylene) pipes.
  • Thread Size: Features 3/4" BSP Male threaded connections.
  • Pressure: Suitable for systems operating at or below 10 bars (approx. 145 psi).
  • Quick Connector: Compatible with standard male Click-Lock hose fittings.

Care

  • Cleaning: Clean the exterior of the valve and fittings with a damp cloth. Avoid using abrasive cleaners.
  • Maintenance: Periodically check all connections for leaks, especially after initial installation or changes in water pressure. Ensure the quick-lock mechanism on the valve operates smoothly.
