FAQs

What type of pipe is this stop tap compatible with?

This stop tap is designed specifically for use with 25mm MDPE (Medium Density Polyethylene) pipework.

Can this stop tap be used for hot water?

No, this stop tap is designed for cold water systems only.

Do I need special tools to install this tap?

No, the compression fittings allow for installation without the need for specialist tools. Hand-tightening followed by a final wrench turn is typically sufficient.

Is this tap suitable for underground use?

Yes, the durable and corrosion-resistant materials make it suitable for both underground and outdoor installations.

What does WRAS approved mean?

WRAS approval indicates that the product has been tested and meets the stringent water regulations and quality standards for use in potable (drinking) water systems in the UK.

How do I ensure a leakproof seal?

Ensure the MDPE pipe is cut square, clean, and pushed fully into the fitting before tightening the compression nut securely. Proper pipe preparation is key.

Troubleshooting

Tap is leaking at the connection

Ensure the MDPE pipe is fully inserted into the fitting and the compression nut is tightened securely. Check the pipe for any damage or deformities that might prevent a proper seal. Re-seat the pipe and re-tighten the fitting.

Difficult to install the pipe

Ensure the end of the MDPE pipe is cut square and clean. If the pipe is stiff, warming it gently with warm water (not hot) can make insertion easier.

Water flow is restricted even when fully open

Check for any internal obstructions within the tap or connected pipework. Ensure the tap handle is turned to the fully open position.
