An inline valve kit for MDPE pipework, designed for water supply and irrigation projects, delivers reliable flow control with straightforward compression connections. It combines a 20mm MDPE straight joiner and a ¾" BSP valve in a compact, easy-to-install package. The kit includes:
- 2 x MDPE Straight Joiner 20mm – ¾” BSPF (MDPESTR20-34BSPF): designed to connect MDPE pipe in a direct, straight run with a ¾" BSP female thread on one end.
- 1 x In-Line Valve ¾” BSPM (HCV34BSPM001BLACK): a robust flow control device for inline installation, with a ¾" BSP male inlet and outlet. Key specifications and benefits:
- MDPE PN10 fittings are engineered to withstand up to 10 bar (145 psi), offering suitability for common domestic and light commercial systems.
- MDPE fittings feature threaded compression connections, delivering a tight seal without requiring specialised tools, which helps reduce installation time and on-site costs.
- MDPE material provides durability, flexibility, and chemical resistance, making these fittings appropriate for potable-water systems, irrigation, and general fluid transport where chemical exposure may occur.
- The In-Line Soft Touch Valve is crafted from durable plastic, balancing strength with light weight for easier handling in busy trades environments. The smooth turn on/off action supports precise flow control and reduces wear at the operating point.
- The valve’s design aims to minimise leakage risk when closed, supporting system integrity in ongoing water supply or irrigation applications.
- Maintenance-friendly features include resistance to corrosion and build-up, contributing to lower cleaning and replacement frequency in harsh environments. Practical use and installation notes:
- Ideal for setting up simple inline control in MDPE networks, especially where a tight, leak‑free seal is needed between MDPE pipe and BSP fittings.
- Suitable for water supply lines, garden irrigation runs, and light-process piping where chemical resistance and straightforward assembly are valued.
- For reliable performance, ensure clean, square pipe ends and proper alignment of the BSP connections; verify seals after initial commissioning by running water and checking for leaks.
- The combination of MDPE compression joins and BSP threaded components provides a cost-effective, easy-to-service solution that tradespeople can deploy with standard hand tools.
