FAQs

What is MDPE?

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

What is a Geka Type Fitting?

A Geka Type Fitting is a type of quick-connect coupling, often called a 'claw coupling,' known for its fast, tool-free connection and secure sealing, widely used for hoses and pipes in various industrial and agricultural applications.

Do I need special tools to install this kit?

The Geka Type Fitting connects tool-free. However, tightening the compression fittings on the MDPE components and potentially securing the wall flange may require basic tools like a wrench.

What pressure can this kit handle?

The MDPE PN10 fittings are designed to withstand a maximum pressure of 10 bars (approximately 145 psi).

Can I use this kit for high-pressure applications?

The kit is rated for PN10 (10 bar / 145 psi), which is suitable for most standard domestic water supply and irrigation needs. It is not recommended for applications exceeding this pressure rating.

Is PTFE tape required for all connections?

PTFE tape is recommended for the threaded BSP connections (like on the Geka fitting's outlet) to ensure a watertight seal. The MDPE compression fittings typically do not require PTFE tape.

What is the purpose of the wall flange?

The wall flange is used to create a secure and sealed connection point where an MDPE pipe needs to pass through a flat surface, such as a wall, providing structural support and preventing water ingress.

Troubleshooting

Leak at a threaded connection

Ensure PTFE tape is correctly applied to male threads and that connections are securely tightened. Check for damaged threads or seals.

Geka fitting is difficult to connect/disconnect

Ensure the claws are aligned correctly. Check for debris in the coupling mechanism. A quick spray of water may help lubricate the seal.

MDPE pipe not secure in compression fitting

Verify the pipe is fully inserted into the fitting before tightening the compression nut. Ensure the pipe end is cut square and free of damage.

Water flow cannot be shut off

Ensure the MDPE Valve is fully closed. If the valve appears faulty, it may need replacement.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Easy, tool-free installation for the Geka fitting.
  • Durable materials offer resistance to corrosion and environmental factors.
  • Provides a secure and leak-free connection point.
  • Includes essential components for a comprehensive connection setup.
  • Versatile for various water supply and irrigation needs.

Cons

  • PTFE tape is not included and requires a separate purchase.
  • Primarily designed for MDPE and Geka-compatible systems, limiting cross-system compatibility without adapters.
  • Threaded connections require proper tightening to ensure a seal.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup:

  1. Secure the MDPE Wall Flange to a flat surface using appropriate fixings (not included), ensuring a watertight seal around the flange base (use sealant if necessary).
  2. Connect your 25mm MDPE pipe to the flange's compression fitting. Ensure the pipe is clean and inserted fully before tightening the compression nut.
  3. Attach the MDPE Valve to the pipe coming from the flange. Use a suitable method for MDPE pipe connection.
  4. Connect your hose or secondary piping to the Geka Type Fitting. Align the claws and twist firmly to lock.
  5. For the ¾” BSP connections, apply PTFE tape (purchased separately) to the male threads before tightening to ensure a leak-free seal.

Compatibility:

  • This kit is designed for use with 25mm MDPE piping.
  • The Geka Type Fitting is compatible with other Geka-style couplings.
  • The ¾” BSP fittings are standard.

Care:

  • Periodically check all connections for leaks.
  • Clean fittings with a damp cloth; avoid abrasive cleaners.
  • Store the kit in a dry place when not in use to protect from extreme weather.
