HydroSure WRAS Approved Male Adaptor Compression Fitting - 25mm x 1" - Pack of 3

A HydroSure WRAS Approved 25mm x 1" male threaded straight compression fitting Join lengths of 25mm (external diameter) MDPE or HDPE WRAS approved pipe to female threaded connections. Each fitting features a widening O-ring that creates a slide and seal effect expertly engineered specifically for extra protection against leakage. The ergonomically shaped flared edge of the O-ring slightly protrudes into the centre cavity. When a pipe is installed and water is run through the fitting at high pressures, the anti-perishable and durable O-ring contracts tightly between the pipe wall and fitting body.
This guide is for plumbers, landscapers, and DIY enthusiasts needing a reliable connection for 25mm MDPE/HDPE pipes to female threaded outlets. The HydroSure WRAS Approved Male Adaptor Compression Fitting offers a secure, leak-free joint up to 16 bar with its anti-perishable O-ring technology. A potential caveat is ensuring the pipe is correctly inserted for the O-ring to function optimally.

Extended Product Information
FAQs
Is this fitting suitable for potable water systems?
Yes, the fitting is WRAS Approved, which means it meets the stringent standards for use in public water supply systems in the UK.
What is the maximum working pressure?
The fitting is designed to provide protection against leakage at working pressures up to 16 bar.
Can I use this fitting with other types of plastic pipe?
No, this fitting is specifically designed for 25mm (external diameter) MDPE or HDPE pipe only.
Do I need any special tools for installation?
Basic tools like a pipe cutter and a wrench for final tightening are recommended. No specialized plumbing tools are typically required for this type of compression fitting.
What does WRAS Approved mean?
WRAS (Water Regulations Advisory Scheme) approval signifies that the product has been rigorously tested and complies with UK water supply regulations, ensuring it is safe for use with drinking water and will not waste, misuse, or contaminate water.
How does the anti-perishable O-ring work?
The O-ring is made from durable, non-degrading material. When the pipe is inserted and water pressure is applied, the O-ring contracts tightly between the pipe wall and the fitting body, creating a secure, leak-proof seal.
What is the thread size of the male adaptor?
The male thread size is 1" (one inch).
Troubleshooting
Leak detected at the connection
Ensure the pipe is fully inserted to the internal stop and the compression nut is tightened securely. Check the O-ring for damage or debris. Ensure the pipe is clean and has a square cut.
Difficulty inserting the pipe
Make sure the pipe end is clean, free of burrs, and not deformed. Slightly twisting the pipe during insertion can help. Ensure the correct pipe diameter (25mm) is being used.
Fitting does not seal properly under pressure
Verify the pipe material is compatible (MDPE/HDPE). Confirm the female threaded connection is clean and undamaged. Re-seat the pipe and tighten the compression nut again.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup:
Ensure the end of the 25mm MDPE or HDPE pipe is cut cleanly and squarely. Remove any burrs.
Loosen the compression nut on the fitting.
Slide the compression nut onto the pipe.
Insert the pipe end fully into the fitting body, ensuring it passes the O-ring.
Push the pipe against the internal stop.
Slide the compression nut forward and tighten it firmly by hand. Use a wrench for a final tightening turn, but avoid over-tightening.
