Product Information

Full details

The Adept Press Female Adaptor (25mm X 1/2") is designed for plumbers and installers seeking a reliable connection between multilayer composite pipe (MLCP) and standard female BSP threaded fittings. Its key benefit is the fast, leak-free installation provided by its U-profile press-fit system, eliminating the need for soldering. A potential caveat is the requirement for a compatible press tool for installation.

FAQs

What type of pipe does this adaptor work with?

This adaptor is specifically designed for Multilayer Composite Pipe (MLCP) that meets EN ISO 21003 standards.

What is the thread size of the female connection?

The female thread is a standard 1/2" BSP (British Standard Pipe) thread.

Do I need special tools to install this?

Yes, you will need a compatible U-profile press tool with the correct jaw size for 25mm pipe to create a secure connection.

Is this adaptor suitable for hot water systems?

Yes, it is WRAS approved and suitable for both potable cold water and heating applications, including hot water.

Can I use this adaptor with copper pipes?

No, this adaptor is designed exclusively for Multilayer Composite Pipe (MLCP) and is not compatible with copper pipes.

How many adaptors are included in a pack?

This product is sold as a pack of 10 adaptors.

What makes the press-fit connection reliable?

The U-profile press-fit system creates a mechanical deformation of the sleeve onto the pipe and fitting, ensuring a strong, permanent, and leak-free seal when executed correctly with the appropriate tool.

Troubleshooting

Leaking joint after pressing

Ensure the MLCP pipe was fully inserted into the adaptor before pressing. Verify that the press tool jaws were correctly positioned and fully actuated. Check the pipe end for damage or deformation and re-press if necessary.

Press tool not actuating correctly

Confirm that the correct jaw size (U-profile for 25mm) is being used. Check the press tool for any obstructions or damage and ensure it is properly maintained.

Difficulty inserting pipe into adaptor

Ensure the MLCP pipe end is cut square and free from burrs. The pipe may be slightly deformed; a pipe re-rounding tool might be necessary before insertion.

Pros and Cons

Pros

Fast and secure installation via press-fit technology
Reliable, leak-free joints without soldering
Durable construction for long-term use
WRAS approval for safe potable water and heating applications
Corrosion-resistant materials ensure longevity

Cons

Requires a specific press tool for installation
Not suitable for direct connection to rigid copper or PEX pipe
Requires careful alignment during press operation to ensure a perfect seal

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup:

Ensure the end of the MLCP pipe is cut square and clean.
Insert the pipe fully into the adaptor until it reaches the internal stop.
Using a compatible press tool with the correct U-profile jaw size for 25mm pipe, place the jaws around the press sleeve.
Actuate the press tool to create a permanent, secure joint.

Compatibility:

This adaptor is designed exclusively for use with Multilayer Composite Pipe (MLCP) systems that conform to EN ISO 21003 standards.
The female thread is standard BSP (British Standard Pipe) for connection to compatible male threaded fittings.
Requires a compatible U-profile press tool. Ensure the tool is in good working condition and the correct jaw size is selected.

Care:

No specific maintenance is required for the adaptor itself once installed correctly.
Ensure the MLCP pipe is protected from physical damage and extreme UV exposure during installation and in use.
Periodically check the overall system for any signs of leaks, especially after initial installation or any system pressure changes.
