MDPE stands for Medium Density Polyethylene, a type of plastic pipe commonly used for water distribution due to its durability, flexibility, and resistance to corrosion and chemicals.
BSP stands for British Standard Pipe. It refers to a set of standardized screw threads used for pipes and fittings, ensuring compatibility between different components.
While MDPE is often used for potable water, ensure all components and installation practices comply with local regulations for drinking water supply.
The MDPE fittings are rated PN10, meaning they can withstand a maximum operating pressure of 10 bars (approximately 145 psi).
Basic tools such as a pipe cutter, adjustable wrench, and potentially a PTFE tape dispenser are recommended for installation.
Applying PTFE tape (thread seal tape) to the male BSP thread of the tap before screwing it into the flange is crucial for creating a watertight seal.
Standard brass taps are not typically frost-proof. Ensure the tap is drained and protected from freezing conditions during winter months to prevent damage.
Ensure the MDPE pipe is inserted fully and the fitting is tightened correctly. Check for any debris on the pipe or fitting surfaces.
Ensure the tap is fully closed. If the drip persists, the internal valve may need servicing or replacement. Check that the connection to the flange is secure.
Check that the hose connected to the barb is not kinked or blocked. Ensure the wall flange connection is fully open and the main water supply is adequate. Inspect the tap for any internal obstructions.
Slightly warm the end of the hose in warm water to make it more pliable. Ensure you are using a 15mm internal diameter hose.
