FAQs

What is MDPE?

MDPE stands for Medium-Density Polyethylene, a type of plastic pipe known for its durability, flexibility, and resistance to corrosion, commonly used in water supply and gas distribution.

What is a Camlock fitting?

A Camlock fitting, or cam and groove coupling, is a type of quick-connect fitting used for fluid transfer applications. It allows for rapid connection and disconnection of hoses or pipes.

What is the difference between Type C and Type F Camlock fittings?

Type C Camlock fittings are female couplers with a hose shank, used to connect to pipes or other fittings. Type F Camlock fittings are male adapters with a female thread, used to connect to threaded ports.

Does the kit include everything needed for installation?

The kit includes the MDPE Wall Flange, Type C Camlock, and Type F Camlock. However, PTFE tape for threaded connections and fasteners for mounting the wall flange are not included and must be purchased separately.

What is the maximum pressure this kit can handle?

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

Can these fittings be used with chemicals?

The Camlock fittings are made of polypropylene, which offers good chemical resistance to many substances. However, it's crucial to verify the compatibility with the specific chemicals intended for use, as not all chemicals are suitable.

How do I ensure a leak-free connection with the MDPE flange?

Ensure the MDPE pipe is clean, fully inserted into the fitting, and that the compression nut is tightened evenly and securely. For any threaded connections on the flange, use PTFE tape for a proper seal.

Troubleshooting

Leak at the MDPE compression fitting

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

Leak at the Camlock connection

Verify the Camlock gasket is properly seated and undamaged. Ensure the cam arms are fully engaged. If using Type F with a threaded connection, ensure PTFE tape is applied correctly.

Difficulty connecting Camlock fittings

Ensure both fittings are clean and free of debris. Check that the cam arms on the female coupler are properly aligned with the groove on the male adapter.

Low pressure or flow rate

Check all connections for leaks. Inspect the piping system for any internal blockages or kinks. Ensure the Camlock and flange are fully open.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Provides a secure and leak-free connection point for MDPE pipes.
  • Includes versatile Camlock fittings (Type C and Type F) for different connection needs.
  • MDPE and polypropylene construction ensures durability and resistance to chemicals and weather.
  • Easy installation with threaded compression fittings, no special tools required.
  • PN10 pressure rating suitable for many water supply and irrigation applications.

Cons

  • PTFE tape is not included and must be purchased separately.
  • Camlock fittings are made of polypropylene; verify compatibility with specific chemicals.
  • Requires separate purchase of compatible MDPE pipe and threaded fittings.
  • Not suitable for applications exceeding 10 bar pressure.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup:

  1. Ensure the surface for the wall flange is flat and clean.
  2. Position the MDPE Wall Flange and secure it using appropriate fasteners (not included).
  3. Insert the 25mm MDPE pipe into the flange's compression fitting and tighten the nut to create a secure seal.
  4. Connect the desired Camlock fitting (Type C or Type F) to the other end of the pipe or to a corresponding threaded fitting.
  5. For threaded connections, use PTFE tape (purchased separately) on the male threads for optimal sealing.

Compatibility:

  • Pipes: Designed for 25mm MDPE pipes.
  • Threads: Features ¾” BSP threads on the wall flange and Camlock Type F.
  • Camlock Types: Compatible with standard ¾” Camlock systems.
  • Pressure: Suitable for systems operating up to 10 bar (145 psi).
  • Materials: Polypropylene Camlocks are generally suitable for water, mild chemicals, and agricultural fluids. Verify chemical compatibility for specific applications.

Care:

  • Periodically inspect fittings for any signs of wear, damage, or leaks.
  • Clean fittings with a damp cloth. Avoid using abrasive cleaners or solvents that could damage the materials.
  • Ensure connections remain tight, especially after periods of non-use.
