FAQs
What type of pipe does this fitting work with?
This John Guest fitting is specifically designed for 32mm outside diameter Medium Density Polyethylene (MDPE) pipe used in cold water systems.
Can this stop end be used for hot water?
No, this fitting is strictly for cold water applications and is not rated for hot water systems.
Do I need any special tools to install this?
No special tools are required beyond two standard wrenches to tighten the compression nut. No heat or glue is needed.
What does WRAS approved mean?
WRAS approval signifies that the product has been rigorously tested and meets the stringent standards set by the Water Regulations Advisory Scheme for use in public water supplies, ensuring it is safe for drinking water.
How many stop ends are included in a pack?
Each pack contains ten (10) John Guest MDPE Compression Stop Ends.
Can I reuse this fitting if I need to disconnect it?
While it is possible to disassemble compression fittings, it is generally recommended to use new fittings for re-installations to ensure a reliable, leak-free seal. The integrity of the sealing components can be compromised upon disassembly.
What are the dimensions of a single stop end?
A single stop end measures approximately 76mm in height, 63mm in length, and 63mm in width.
Troubleshooting
Leak detected at the connection point.
Ensure the MDPE pipe was fully inserted and seated. Re-tighten the compression nut following the installation instructions. Check the pipe end for damage or deformation that might prevent a good seal. Ensure the correct size pipe (32mm MDPE) is being used.
Difficulty inserting the pipe.
Verify that the pipe is clean, square-cut, and free from burrs. Ensure you are using the correct 32mm MDPE pipe. Slightly warming the pipe end with warm water (not hot) can sometimes make insertion easier, but avoid this if working with already buried pipes.
Fitting appears damaged or cracked.
Do not install a damaged fitting. Contact the supplier for a replacement. Inspect the fitting upon receipt and before installation.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup:
Ensure the end of the 32mm MDPE pipe is clean, free from dirt, and cut square. Remove any burrs from the inside and outside of the pipe end.
Loosen the compression nut on the stop end.
Push the MDPE pipe firmly into the stop end body until it is fully seated against the internal stop.
Tighten the compression nut by hand, then use two wrenches to tighten it a further 1 to 1.5 turns. Avoid over-tightening, which can damage the pipe or fitting.
Compatibility:
Pipe Type: Exclusively designed for 32mm outside diameter Medium Density Polyethylene (MDPE) pipe.

Care:
