MDPE Reducing Set

This MDPE reducing set is to be inserted inside a compression fitting, allowing you to reduce the fitting to accept a smaller diameter of MDPE pipe. We always recommended pipe liners to be used when installing any MDPE pipe fitting.

All of our MDPE compression fittings can be used on either blue (potable) MDPE water pipe or black (non-potable) MDPE water pipe. This MDPE compression range is fast and simple to use and includes the captive nitrile rubber O-ring seal, achieving a sealed system and providing protection against leaks. We recommend always trying to minimise the amount of joints used on any MDPE water installation wherever possible.

MDPE Reducing Insert are available in the following sizes:

Tested to the following industry standards: ISO 17885 for Water Applications, AS/NZS 4129, ISO 7/1, BS 21, DIN 2999, UNI 9561, NEN 3258, AS 1722, DIN 8076. Polyacetal split rings and NBR o-rings, suitable for water, are supplied as standard. CPVC split rings and EPDM or FPM o-rings and seals are available on request. For aggressive chemical applications, the end user is advised to test suitability. Maximum temperature of use for fittings and valves is the same as the MDPE pipe, however they are not intended for use in hot water applications. They will however withstand sub-zero temperatures.

If you plan to run any water service underground, we would always recommend that the water pipe is buried in the ground inside a blue water duct system. A duct is designed to protect the pipe from damage and alert others to the presence of duct in the ground. Water caution marker tapes are commonly used as additional indications, alerting presence of the pipes. If this is your first time installing ducting, we would always recommend attaching a second drawcord to your pipe as this will enable you to easily install replacements at any point in the future, if required. Your duct system may also need duct access chambers depending on your project, which come in a various sizes to suit.
