Extended Product Information

FAQs

Is this pipe suitable for hot water?

No, this MDPE pipe is specifically designed for cold potable water mains and is not suitable for hot water systems.

Does this pipe meet safety standards?

Yes, this product is WRAS approved, meaning it has been tested and certified for safe use in drinking water distribution.

Can I use standard brass compression fittings with this pipe?

Yes, this pipe is fully compatible with standard 20mm compression fittings commonly found in plumbing supply stores.

How deep should I bury the pipe?

You should follow local building regulations, which usually dictate a specific burial depth to prevent freezing and mechanical damage.

Is the material safe for drinking water?

Yes, the blue color coding indicates it is specifically manufactured to meet health standards for conveying potable water.

Troubleshooting

Leakage at connection points

Ensure the pipe is pushed fully into the compression fitting and that the nut is tightened securely. Check that the internal pipe insert is used to prevent the pipe from deforming under pressure.

Difficulty uncoiling the pipe

Unroll the pipe while rotating the coil on a pipe dispenser or by rolling it along the ground rather than pulling loops from the top.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Certified WRAS approval for potable water safety
  • Highly durable against ground movement and corrosion
  • Continuous 100-meter length reduces joint requirements
  • Easy to install using standard compression fittings

Cons

  • Large coil size can be heavy and cumbersome to transport
  • Requires proper storage away from direct UV sunlight for long periods
  • Not suitable for hot water supply applications

Setup, Compatibility & Care

To install this pipe, use standard mechanical compression fittings compatible with 20mm MDPE. Ensure the pipe ends are cut square and are free of burrs to guarantee a watertight seal within the fitting. When uncoiling the pipe, do so carefully to prevent kinking. While the material is UV stabilized, it is recommended to bury the pipe underground to protect it from extreme temperature fluctuations and accidental mechanical damage. Always check local building regulations regarding the depth of water service lines in your specific region.
