Product Information

Full details

The Pipelife 32mm MDPE water pipe is designed for professional contractors and serious DIYers requiring a reliable, durable solution for transporting potable water in domestic or commercial systems. Its primary benefit is its WRAS-approved status, which guarantees safety and compliance with drinking water standards, though its 150-meter coil size makes it somewhat cumbersome to handle and transport without a coil dispenser.

Extended Product Information

FAQs

Is this pipe safe for drinking water?

Yes, this pipe is WRAS-approved, meaning it has been tested and certified for the safe transport of potable water.

What fittings should I use with this pipe?

You should use standard 32mm MDPE compression fittings. Ensure you use a support insert inside the pipe ends.

Can this pipe be used above ground?

While it can be exposed briefly, MDPE is designed primarily for underground use. If used above ground, it should be protected from UV light and physical damage.

What is the pressure rating?

The pipe is manufactured to standard water industry pressure specifications suitable for typical mains supply systems.

How long is the warranty?

The product comes with a 10-year manufacturer performance guarantee.

Does the blue color signify anything?

Yes, blue is the standard industry color identifying the pipe as intended for cold potable water supply.

Troubleshooting

Fitting leaking at the connection point

Ensure the pipe is cut perfectly square and fully inserted past the O-ring of the fitting. Check that the pipe insert is installed.

Pipe is too rigid to uncoil

Lay the coil in direct sunlight to warm the plastic, or use a rotating pipe de-coiler to prevent tangles and kinking.

Difficulty inserting into compression fitting

Use a small amount of WRAS-approved lubricant on the end of the pipe and ensure the nut of the fitting is sufficiently loosened.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Certified for potable water (WRAS approved)
  • High durability and corrosion resistance
  • Generous 150m coil length minimizes joints
  • Compatible with industry-standard MDPE compression fittings
  • Long 10-year manufacturer performance guarantee

Cons

  • Large 150m coil is heavy and difficult to maneuver
  • Requires a pipe de-coiler for efficient installation
  • Rigid material can be challenging to straighten in cold temperatures

Setup, Compatibility & Care

For installation, ensure you are using standard 32mm MDPE compression fittings. Always utilize a pipe insert (liner) to maintain the structural integrity of the pipe wall when tightening the compression nut. Proper care involves burying the pipe below the local frost line to prevent freezing and ensuring the trench is free of sharp rocks or debris that could abrade the outer surface. If you need to bend the pipe, avoid sharp kinks; warm the material slightly if working in winter conditions to improve flexibility. Regularly inspect all exposed joints at the manifold or meter connection for signs of moisture, though under normal conditions, the system is virtually maintenance-free.
