FAQs

What type of pipe is compatible with these fittings?

These fittings are designed for 20mm MDPE (Medium Density Polyethylene) and HDPE (High Density Polyethylene) pipes.

How do I ensure a leak-proof connection?

Push the pipe approximately 2cm into the compression fitting, ensuring it passes the first visible ring inside the coupling. This action mechanically locks the pipe.

Can these fittings be used for above-ground applications?

While designed for underground use, they can be used above ground for similar water supply applications, provided they are protected from direct UV exposure and physical damage.

What tools are needed for installation?

No special tools are required for installation. The fittings are designed for a simple push-fit mechanism.

Are these fittings suitable for potable water?

The product description does not specify suitability for potable water. Please verify material compliance if this is a requirement for your application.

How many fittings are included in this pack?

This pack contains 15 mixed compression fittings, all for 20mm pipe size.

What is the material of the fittings?

The fittings are manufactured from high-quality polypropylene with additional specialized substances for durability and reliability.

Troubleshooting

Fitting does not feel secure on the pipe

Ensure the pipe has been pushed at least 2cm into the fitting and has passed the internal visible ring. Check that the pipe is clean and free from damage.

Water leak detected at the connection

The pipe may not have been inserted far enough. Disconnect the pipe, re-clean the end, and re-insert firmly past the required insertion point. Ensure the pipe is not kinked or deformed.

Difficulty inserting the pipe into the fitting

Ensure the pipe end is cut squarely and is free from burrs. Slightly wetting the pipe end or the fitting's internal guide can sometimes help. Do not force the pipe excessively.

  3. Slide the pipe neck and O-ring over the end of the pipe.
