FAQs

Is this pipe suitable for drinking water?

Yes, this MDPE pipe is specifically designed for the reliable supply of potable water.

Can I use this for hot water systems?

No, MDPE pipe is strictly for cold water applications and is not rated for high-temperature service.

What is the maximum pressure this pipe can handle?

It is rated for a maximum operating pressure of 16 bar.

Is it safe to bury this pipe underground?

Yes, it is designed for underground installations, including both open-cut and no-dig methods.

Do I need special tools to install this?

You will need a pipe cutter and appropriate MDPE fittings; basic wrench tools are usually sufficient for compression fittings.

Troubleshooting

Fitting leaks after installation

Ensure the pipe end is cut square, free of burrs, and fully inserted into the fitting until it seats properly.

Pipe kinked during installation

Uncoil the pipe in warmer temperatures to increase flexibility, or cut out the kinked section and use a straight coupling to repair the line.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • High pressure resistance up to 16 bar
  • Highly resistant to corrosion and chemical damage
  • Flexible and lightweight for easier handling
  • Suitable for both domestic and commercial applications
  • Ideal for underground installations

Cons

Setup, Compatibility & Care

To install this pipe, ensure your trench is free of sharp rocks or debris that could abrade the outer wall over time. Use appropriate MDPE compression or push-fit fittings to create watertight seals at all connection points. Always cut the pipe cleanly with a proper pipe cutter to avoid burrs that could compromise the seal of the fitting. While this pipe is designed to be buried, avoid installing it in areas where it will be subjected to temperatures exceeding its design specifications. Regularly check joints if they are accessible to ensure no leaks have developed due to ground shifting.
