• Potable Water Supply: WRAS-approved for use in drinking water systems for residential, commercial, and utility networks.

• Insert Pipe

Push the MDPE pipe into the fitting until the first point of resistance—no chamfering required.

• Tighten Nut

Hand-tighten the compression nut.
Use a strap wrench to complete tightening—avoid excessive force.

• Verify Joint

Confirm the pipe is properly seated by checking that the nut is fully engaged.
The fitting creates a secure seal using internal compression without needing further adjustment.

• Testing

Pressure test the system to confirm a watertight seal.
Check joints after testing to verify there is no movement or leakage.
