FAQs

What is the maximum pressure this fitting can handle?

The fitting has a PN16 rating, meaning it is designed to safely handle pressures up to 16 bar.

Can this fitting be used for hot water?

This fitting is designed for cold water systems. While it can withstand higher temperatures, its performance and longevity are optimized for cold water applications.

What size pipe does this fitting connect to?

It connects to 25mm outside diameter MDPE pipe.

What thread size does it connect to on the other side?

It has a 3/4" thread for connecting to standard taps or threaded pipework.

Does this fitting come with screws for wall mounting?

The product information does not specify if mounting screws are included. It is recommended to use appropriate fixings suitable for your wall type.

What standards does this fitting comply with?

It complies with UNI 9561-9562, UNI EN 712-713-715, UNI ISO 7/1, ISO 14236, and UNI 2233 standards.

Is this fitting suitable for underground burial?

Yes, it is ideal for underground cold water systems due to its robust and impact-resistant design.

Troubleshooting

Fitting is leaking at the MDPE pipe connection.

Ensure the MDPE pipe is fully inserted and the nut is tightened securely. Check the pipe for damage or debris that may prevent a proper seal. Re-seat the pipe and tighten the nut firmly.

Difficulty connecting to the 3/4" threaded tap.

Verify that the tap has a 3/4" male thread. Ensure threads are clean and free from damage on both the fitting and the tap. Apply PTFE tape to the male thread if necessary for a tighter seal.

Fitting appears damaged.

Visually inspect the impact-resistant nut and body. If any cracks or significant damage are observed, the fitting should be replaced immediately to prevent failure.

Low water pressure at the tap.

Check for blockages within the tap itself or the pipework leading to the fitting. Ensure the MDPE pipe is not kinked or damaged. The fitting itself is unlikely to cause pressure loss unless obstructed.
