Product Information

Full details

This guide is for installers and homeowners needing a reliable underground connection for 32mm MDPE/HDPE pipes to 1” male threaded tap inlets. The HydroSure Wall Plate Compression Elbow offers a secure, leak-proof joint even at pressures up to 16 bar, thanks to its innovative anti-perishable O-ring. A potential caveat is its specific size compatibility, requiring 32mm pipe.

FAQs

Is this fitting suitable for above-ground use?

While designed for underground installation, it can be used above ground if protected from UV light and physical damage. Its primary design focus is subterranean robustness.

What does WRAS Approved mean?

WRAS (Water Regulations Advisory Scheme) approval signifies that the product meets the high standards for water quality, safety, and performance required in the UK for products used in contact with drinking water.

Can I use this with different types of plastic pipe?

No, this fitting is specifically designed for 32mm external diameter MDPE (Medium-Density Polyethylene) or HDPE (High-Density Polyethylene) pipes. Using it with other pipe materials may result in leaks or failure.

What is the maximum working pressure?

The fitting is designed to safely handle working pressures up to 16 bar.

How does the anti-perishable O-ring work?

The O-ring is designed to contract tightly around the pipe wall when water pressure is applied, creating a secure seal that actively prevents leaks even under high pressure.

Do I need any special tools to install this fitting?

You will need a pipe cutter to ensure a clean, square cut on the pipe end, and standard wrenches for tightening the compression nut.

What is the benefit of the wall plate design?

The wall plate provides a stable mounting surface, commonly used when passing through a wall or structure, offering support and a clean termination point for the pipe.

Troubleshooting

Leak at the pipe connection

Ensure the pipe is fully inserted, the O-ring is correctly seated, and the compression nut is tightened appropriately. Check pipe for any nicks or damage that could compromise the seal. Ensure pipe is square cut.

Difficulty inserting pipe

Verify that you are using the correct 32mm pipe size and that the pipe end is clean and free from burrs or deformation.

Fitting does not seal properly under pressure

Confirm the pipe material is compatible (MDPE/HDPE). Re-seat the O-ring and ensure the compression nut is tightened securely, but avoid over-tightening which can damage the pipe or fitting.

  2. Loosen the compression nut on the fitting.
  3. Slide the nut onto the pipe, followed by the O-ring.
  4. Insert the pipe end fully into the fitting body until it stops.
  5. Slide the O-ring into position against the pipe.
  6. Screw the compression nut hand-tight, then use a wrench for a final snug turn (do not overtighten).
