John Guest Mdpe Compression Female Threaded Elbow - 20mm X 1/2"

This fitting is specifically designed for 20mm MDPE (Medium Density Polyethylene) pipe.

The female threaded outlet is a 1/2 inch BSP (British Standard Pipe) thread.

No, the compression fitting part is designed for hand-tightening, followed by a slight turn with a wrench. No solvent or glue is required.

No, this fitting is exclusively for 20mm MDPE pipe. Using it with other pipe types will result in a faulty and unsafe connection.

This product is supplied in a pack of 25 fittings.

While the compression fitting does not require tape, it is often recommended to use PTFE tape or a thread sealant on the male threads of the component connecting to the 1/2" female outlet for a secure, leak-free seal.

Ensure the 20mm MDPE pipe is fully inserted into the fitting and that the pipe end is cut square and clean. Re-tighten the compression nut slightly. Check for any damage to the pipe or the fitting's internal O-ring.

Confirm you are using the correct 20mm MDPE pipe. Ensure the pipe end is free of burrs or deformation. A small amount of silicone lubricant can aid insertion, but avoid oils or greases that could degrade the seal.

Ensure the male threaded component is compatible with 1/2" BSP. Apply PTFE tape or thread sealant to the male threads before connection. Check for cross-threading or damage to the threads on either component.
