Designed for tradespeople and builders, this 20mm MDPE Straight kit combines essential MDPE fittings for reliable water and irrigation connections. It brings together a straight MDPE joiner, a 3/4" BSP female valve with a snap-on male, and a 1/2" brass hose connector, all in one ready-to-assemble package. Contents - 1 x MDPE Straight Joiner 20mm – 3/4" BSPM (MDPESTR20-34BSPM) - 1 x Valve 3/4" BSPF with Snap-On Male (HCVM-34BSPF001BLACK) - 1 x Female 1/2" Hose Connector Snap-On Brass (HOCON12F001BRASS) Key features and benefits - MDPE PN10 fittings: designed to withstand up to 10 bar (145 psi) under standard test conditions, making them suitable for typical domestic and light commercial water networks. - Straight connection: the 20mm MDPE straight joiner provides a direct, in-line link between two pipe sections, reducing potential leak paths in straight runs. - Compression and BSP connections: the MDPE fittings utilise threaded compression to create a tight, leak-free seal without specialist tools, while the 3/4" BSPF valve offers a secure threaded inlet with a quick-connect outlet for rapid hose attachment. - Snap-on quick-connects: the valve’s snap-on male and the brass hose connector’s click-lock mechanism enable fast, tool-free assembly and simple release for maintenance or relocation. - Brass durability: the 1/2" hose connector is brass, delivering added corrosion resistance and longevity in varied outdoor conditions. Practical use and scenarios - Ideal for garden irrigation lines, temporary water supplies, and service connections where a quick, reliable MDPE-to-hose setup is needed. - Useful when converting MDPE piping to hose systems without soldering or solvent welding. - Suitable for construction and landscaping projects where a compact, multipurpose fitting kit reduces trip hazards and inventory. How it helps you compare - This kit reduces component count by pairing a direct MDPE joiner with a dedicated valve and a brass hose connector, offering an integrated alternative to sourcing individual parts. - The combination of compression connections and click-lock features delivers a practical balance of reliability and ease of use compared with rigid soldered or fully plastic alternatives. Tips for use - Ensure pipe ends are clean and square before assembly; cut and deburr MDPE pipes as needed. - Hand-tighten compression fittings fully, then secure with the standard practice for MDPE compression connections. - Check for leaks after initial operation and repressurise gradually to verify seal integrity.
