A robust, ready-to-fit wall-mounted connection for MDPE piping, this Wall Flange Kit 20mm MDPE combines a 20mm MDPE wall flange with a 1/2" BSP lever tap, including a hose barb and a tamper‑resistant side lock. It’s designed for external water outlets and garden irrigation, offering a durable, secure connection that’s straightforward to install for tradespeople and DIY enthusiasts alike. What’s in the kit
- 1 x MDPE Wall Flange 20mm – 1/2" BSP
- 1 x Lever Tap 1/2" BSP with Hose Barb and Side Lock Key features and benefits
- MDPE fittings with threaded compression connections provide a tight, leak‑free seal without specialised tools, making installation cost‑effective and practical on site.
- The MDPE PN10 rating supports up to 10 bar (approximately 145 psi), giving confidence in performance under typical garden and irrigation pressurised systems.
- The wall flange design allows the pipe to terminate neatly on a flat surface, improving aesthetics and reducing stress on the joint.
- The garden lever tap is manufactured from nickel‑plated brass for strength and corrosion resistance, with a 1/2" BSP male inlet and a 1/2" hose barb outlet to accept standard hoses.
- The hose barb is precision‑engineered to grip the hose effectively, helping prevent leaks and accidental disconnections during use.
- The side lock feature adds security against unauthorised use; a padlock can be added to block access when needed.
- Reliability in outdoor conditions: MDPE’s resistance to weathering and many chemicals supports longer service life with reduced maintenance.
- Note that PTFE tape is not included; installation should follow standard compression fitting practices. Ideal use cases
- External taps for gardens, sheds, and irrigation rigs where a secure connection to MDPE is required.
- Irrigation mains, drip systems, or hose connections that benefit from a robust wall-mounted outlet.
- Projects where a tamper‑resistant shut‑off is desirable to control access to water supply. Practical tips
- Ensure the MDPE pipe ends are clean and cut square before fitting; use the compression nut to achieve a tight seal.
- Align fittings to minimise stress on the pipe, and secure the assembly to prevent movement during operation.
- Consider winterising outdoor installations; drain the line if freezing conditions are expected and store accessories appropriately when not in use. Designed for tradespeople and hands-on builders, this kit delivers a straightforward, durable solution for connecting MDPE piping to external water outlets with built‑in security and reliable performance.
