Product Information

Full details

The Clothing Estates 32 mm to 3/4 inch BSP male straight compression coupling is designed for professional installers and DIY enthusiasts who require a secure, leak-free transition between MDPE pipe and threaded pipework. Its primary benefit is the tool-free, push-fit style installation that ensures a reliable PN10 pressure rating for water supply and irrigation systems. While this fitting offers exceptional durability against chemical and mechanical stress, users should note it is specifically engineered for 32 mm pipe and 3/4 inch male BSP threads, making it unsuitable for non-standard pipe dimensions or high-heat applications.

FAQs

Can this be used for hot water systems?

No, this fitting is designed for MDPE cold water supply and irrigation systems and is not rated for high-temperature domestic hot water.

Do I need PTFE tape for the BSP thread?

Yes, while the compression side is self-sealing, it is standard practice to apply a small amount of PTFE tape or thread sealant to the male BSP thread for an extra secure connection.

What is the maximum pressure this can handle?

This fitting is rated PN10, meaning it is designed for working pressures up to 10 bar.

Can I reuse the fitting if I take it apart?

Yes, but you should inspect the internal seal for nicks or debris before re-installing to ensure it remains watertight.

Is this compatible with copper pipe?

No, this is specifically designed for 32 mm MDPE pipe. It will not create a secure seal on rigid metal pipework.

What does PN10 mean?

PN10 is a pressure rating indicating the fitting can withstand 10 bar of pressure at 20 degrees Celsius.

Troubleshooting

Leakage at the compression joint

Ensure the pipe was cut squarely and is free from scratches. Push the pipe deeper into the fitting to confirm it has passed the internal seal and tighten the nut further.

Difficulty inserting pipe into fitting

Lubricate the end of the MDPE pipe lightly with water or a silicone-based lubricant. Ensure the internal nut is sufficiently loosened.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Simple, quick installation without specialist tools
  • High pressure rating (PN10/10 bar) for reliable performance
  • Excellent resistance to environmental chemicals and corrosion
  • Provides a secure, permanent, and leak-free joint

Cons

  • Limited to 32 mm MDPE pipe size only
  • Not suitable for high-temperature fluid systems
  • Requires precise pipe cutting to ensure a proper seal

Setup, Compatibility & Care

To install, ensure the MDPE pipe end is clean and cut at a perfect 90-degree angle. Loosen the compression nut on the fitting, slide the pipe through the seal until it reaches the internal stop, and hand-tighten the nut firmly.

  • Compatibility: Compatible with standard 32 mm MDPE tubing and 3/4 inch BSP male threads.
  • Care: Periodically check for any signs of external impact damage. Avoid using excessive force with metal pipe wrenches, as hand-tightening is sufficient to engage the internal o-ring seal.
  • Storage: Keep away from prolonged direct UV exposure if possible to maintain material flexibility over many years.
