Product Information

Full details

The Pipelife 25mm x 150m Blue MDPE pipe is an essential component for professional plumbers and contractors tasked with installing reliable, hygienic cold water supply lines in domestic and commercial environments. Designed to deliver potable water safely, this pipe offers a long-term solution for underground utility networks; however, installers must be mindful of its large coil size, which requires adequate space for unrolling and handling during the installation process.

FAQs

Is this pipe suitable for hot water?

No, this MDPE pipe is designed specifically for cold potable water supply systems and is not rated for high-temperature hot water.

Can I use this pipe above ground?

While it can be used for short exposed sections, MDPE is primarily designed for underground use and should be protected from direct, long-term UV exposure.

Do I need an insert stiffener?

Yes, it is best practice to always use a stainless steel or plastic insert stiffener when connecting MDPE pipe to mechanical fittings to ensure the pipe maintains its round shape under compression.

How do I cut the pipe?

A standard pipe cutter designed for plastic or a fine-tooth saw can be used. If using a saw, ensure you deburr the edge thoroughly after cutting.

Is this product WRAS approved?

Yes, the pipe is WRAS approved, meaning it is certified for use in systems conveying water for human consumption.

Troubleshooting

Joint is leaking

Ensure the pipe end is cut square, free of burrs, and that the insert stiffener is fully seated inside the pipe end before tightening the compression nut.

Difficulty inserting the pipe into a fitting

Use a small amount of non-toxic silicone lubricant on the O-ring inside the fitting and ensure the pipe end is properly chamfered.

Pipe kinking during unrolling

Lay the coil flat and rotate the coil to dispense the pipe rather than pulling it off the side, which prevents twisting and kinking.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Certified for safe potable water supply
  • Long 150m length reduces the number of required fittings
  • High resistance to environmental stress cracking
  • Industry-standard dimensions for easy integration
  • Comprehensive 10-year warranty protection

Cons

  • Large coil size can be bulky to transport and store
  • Requires proper tools for cutting and chamfering
  • Not intended for high-temperature hot water applications

Setup, Compatibility & Care

For optimal results, ensure the trench floor is clear of sharp rocks or debris that could abrade the pipe over time; using a sand bed is recommended for backfilling. The pipe is compatible with all standard 25mm MDPE compression fittings, including tees, elbows, and couplings. When cutting the pipe, always use a dedicated plastic pipe cutter to ensure a smooth, burr-free edge. Avoid exposing the pipe to direct sunlight for extended periods during storage to prevent UV degradation of the material. When bending the pipe in cold temperatures, it may become stiffer; warming the pipe slightly or using an appropriate pipe bender can help achieve the desired radius without kinking.
