FAQs
What does WRAS approved mean?
WRAS approval signifies that the product has been assessed and meets the Water Regulations Advisory Scheme standards for use in public water supplies in the UK, ensuring it does not contaminate the water.
What type of pipe is this coupling for?
This coupling is specifically designed for use with Multilayer Composite Pipe (MLCP).
Do I need special tools to install this coupling?
Yes, you will need a compatible U-profile press tool to properly secure the sleeve and create a leak-free joint.
Can I use this for gas lines?
No, this coupling is approved for potable water and heating systems only, not for gas installations.
How many couplings are in a pack?
Each pack contains 10 Adept MLCP Press Couplings.
What are the benefits of press-fit connections?
Press-fit connections are generally faster to install than soldering or compression fittings, require no special preparation like fluxing, and create a strong, reliable mechanical seal.
Can this coupling be used for above-ground and buried installations?
While designed for robustness, specific installation guidelines for buried services should always be followed according to local plumbing codes and best practices for MLCP systems.
Troubleshooting
Coupling does not seem secure after pressing.
Ensure the correct U-profile press tool is being used and that it has been fully actuated. Verify the press sleeve is correctly positioned over the coupling's designated pressing zone. Check that the pipe is fully inserted into the coupling before pressing.
Leak detected at the connection.
The connection may not have been properly pressed. Attempt to re-press the joint with the correct tool. If the leak persists, the O-ring seal may have been damaged during installation or the pipe end may be compromised; consider replacing the coupling and ensuring proper installation technique.
Difficulty inserting pipe into coupling.
Ensure the pipe end is cut squarely and is clean. Slight chamfering of the pipe end can help. Verify that the correct size coupling is being used for the pipe diameter.
