FAQs

What type of pipe does this coupling work with?

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

Can I use this coupling for hot water?

Yes, this coupling is suitable for both hot and cold potable water systems.

Do I need any special tools to install it?

No, installation is tool-free. You simply push the pipes into the coupling until they are fully seated.

How do I remove the coupling if I need to disconnect the pipes?

To disconnect, you typically need to press the collar of the fitting while pulling the pipe out. Refer to the specific release mechanism of your fitting if unsure.

What is the purpose of the pack of 15?

The couplings are supplied in a pack of 15 for convenience and cost-effectiveness, suitable for multiple installations or larger projects.

Is this coupling suitable for outdoor use?

Yes, it is suitable for potable water systems, which can include outdoor applications like garden taps, provided the pipework is appropriately protected.

Troubleshooting

Minor leak from the connection point.

Ensure the pipe is fully inserted into the coupling and that the pipe ends are clean and undamaged. Re-seat the pipe or replace the coupling if the pipe is deformed.

Difficulty inserting the pipe.

Check that you are using the correct size MDPE pipe (20mm) and that the pipe end is cut square and free from burrs. Slightly moistening the pipe end can sometimes help.

Coupling does not feel secure.

Verify that the pipe has been pushed in far enough to fully engage the internal gripping mechanism. If the pipe is loose, it may be deformed or not the correct size for the fitting.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Effortless and fast pipe joining, saving installation time.
  • Provides a consistently reliable and watertight seal.
  • Safe for use in all potable water systems.
  • Durable construction ensures a long service life.
  • Simple to install, requiring no special tools or skills.

Cons

  • Supplied in a pack of 15, which might be excessive for single repairs.
  • Primarily designed for MDPE pipes; compatibility with other pipe types may be limited.
  • Requires clean pipe ends for optimal sealing performance.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup:

  1. Ensure the ends of both 20mm MDPE pipes are clean, dry, and free from damage or debris.
  2. Push the pipe ends firmly into the coupling until they are fully inserted. You will feel resistance as the internal seal engages.
  3. The coupling is now secured. To disconnect, a specific release mechanism (often a twist or push action on the collar, depending on the exact model) is required.

Compatibility:

  • Designed specifically for use with 20mm MDPE (Medium Density Polyethylene) pipe.
  • Suitable for use in cold and hot potable water systems.

Care:

  • These couplings are maintenance-free. Ensure pipes entering the coupling remain clean.
  • Avoid overtightening or applying excessive force, as this can damage the pipe or the fitting.
