Product Information

Full details

The Plasson Plastic Stop Tap 25mm is a robust and reliable mechanical fitting for connecting PE pipes, ideal for industrial, mining, landscape, and farming applications. Its key benefit is ensuring a secure and long-lasting water supply connection, even for drinking water systems, due to its WRAS approval and durable Polypropylene construction. A minor consideration is its specific compatibility with 25mm blue MDPE pipes, requiring adaptors for other pipe types.

FAQs

Is this stop tap suitable for drinking water?

Yes, the Plasson Plastic Stop Tap 25mm is WRAS approved and accepted by water companies for use in drinking water supply systems.

What type of pipe does this fitting connect to?

This stop tap is designed for 25mm blue MDPE (Medium Density Polyethylene) pipe. Adaptors are available for connecting to other pipe types.

What is the maximum working pressure?

The stop tap is rated for working pressures up to 16 bar (PN16).

How long will this stop tap last?

Made from virgin Polypropylene, it is designed for a long service life, estimated to be over 50 years in typical use.

Do I need special tools to install it?

No, installation is simple and requires only hand tightening after inserting the pipe into the fitting.

Can I connect this to copper pipe?

You will need a specific Plasson adaptor designed to transition from MDPE to copper pipe. The stop tap itself connects directly to MDPE.

How do I ensure a watertight seal?

Ensure the pipe is fully inserted to the internal stop and the fitting is hand-tightened. The captive 'O' ring inside the fitting ensures a reliable seal.

Troubleshooting

Leakage at the connection point

Ensure the 25mm blue MDPE pipe is fully inserted to the stop within the fitting and that the fitting is hand-tightened securely. Check the pipe end for damage or deformation. Inspect the captive 'O' ring for debris or damage.

Difficulty operating the valve

Gently try to operate the valve. If it remains stiff, check for any external obstructions or debris around the valve mechanism. Ensure no stress is being applied to the fitting that could cause it to warp.

Connection to non-MDPE pipe

Use a compatible Plasson adaptor designed for the specific pipe material and size you need to connect to. Ensure the adaptor is correctly installed according to its instructions.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup: To install the Plasson Stop Tap, ensure the end of the 25mm blue MDPE pipe is clean and correctly inserted into the stop tap's opening until it reaches the stop. Hand-tighten the fitting to engage the captive 'O' ring and ensure a secure seal. No special tools are required for the connection itself.

Compatibility: This stop tap is specifically designed for 25mm blue MDPE (Medium Density Polyethylene) pipe. For connecting to different pipe materials or sizes, appropriate Plasson adaptors are required.

Care: As a mechanical fitting made from durable Polypropylene, the stop tap requires minimal maintenance. Regularly inspect the connection points for any signs of damage or leakage.
