FAQs

What is MDPE?

MDPE stands for Medium-Density Polyethylene, a type of plastic pipe commonly used for water supply and underground services due to its durability and flexibility.

Is PTFE tape included in the kit?

No, PTFE tape is not included in this kit. It needs to be purchased separately to ensure a watertight seal when connecting the tap to the wall flange.

What is the maximum water pressure the fittings can handle?

The MDPE fittings in this kit are rated PN10, meaning they can withstand a maximum pressure of 10 bars (approximately 145 psi).

Can I use this kit for hot water systems?

This kit is primarily designed for cold water applications, such as garden irrigation and domestic cold water supply. It is not rated for hot water systems.

How do I connect a garden hose to the tap?

The tap features a snap-on male click-lock quick connect outlet. Simply push the female end of your standard garden hose onto the tap's outlet until it clicks into place.

What is the thread size for the tap connection?

The thread size for connecting the tap to the wall flange is 3/4" BSP (British Standard Pipe).

Is the tap made of metal?

Yes, the garden lever tap is constructed from durable zinc-nickel plated material, offering excellent resistance to corrosion and wear.

Troubleshooting

Water leak from the wall flange connection.

Ensure the MDPE pipe is fully inserted and the compression nut is tightened evenly and sufficiently. Check for any debris on the pipe or fitting.

Water leak from the tap to flange connection.

Remove the tap and reapply PTFE tape to the flange's male thread. Screw the tap back on and tighten firmly but avoid over-tightening.

Garden hose won't click securely onto the tap.

Check the hose connector for damage or debris. Ensure the tap's quick-connect fitting is clean and free from obstructions. Try a different hose to confirm.

Tap lever is stiff or difficult to operate.

Check for any external obstructions. Ensure the tap is correctly installed and not under excessive strain. If persistent, contact customer support.
