FAQs

Is this pipe suitable for hot water?

No, this MDPE pipe is specifically designed and rated for cold water service only.

Does this pipe meet safety standards for drinking water?

Yes, it is WRAS approved, meaning it is certified for use with potable water.

Can I use standard metal fittings with this pipe?

You should use dedicated MDPE compression fittings designed for 32mm plastic pipe.

What is the maximum pressure rating?

The pipe is rated for operation at up to 16 bar.

How do I cut this pipe safely?

Use a professional plastic pipe cutter or a fine-tooth hacksaw, ensuring the end remains perfectly square.

Troubleshooting

Fitting leaking at the connection point

Ensure the pipe end is cut square, free of burrs, and fully pushed past the O-ring inside the compression fitting.

Pipe is too stiff to straighten during installation

Store the coil in a warm environment for several hours or use a pipe decoiler to manage the tension.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Certified for potable water safety (WRAS approved)
  • High pressure resistance up to 16 bar
  • Durable construction suitable for underground burial
  • Compatible with industry-standard compression adaptors

Cons

  • Rigid nature of the pipe makes it difficult to uncoil in cold weather
  • Requires professional-grade pipe cutters for clean, square ends
  • Significant coil size may require a decoiler for efficient installation

Setup, Compatibility & Care

To ensure a successful installation, always use compatible MDPE compression fittings that match the 32mm outside diameter. Before inserting the pipe into a fitting, ensure the pipe end is free of burrs and debris.

If the pipe has been stored in cold conditions, it may become stiff and difficult to unroll. Warming the coil in a heated area before installation can significantly improve its flexibility. For long-term care, ensure that the pipe is laid on a bed of sand or pea shingle if buried underground to prevent damage from sharp stones or excessive ground pressure.
