Barrier Fittings

Plasson Barrier Fittings are specifically engineered for use with reinforced polyethylene (PE) barrier pipes in environments where water supply lines must be protected from potential ground contamination. Manufactured for compatibility with leading barrier pipe brands such as Protecta-Line, SLA, Puriton 2, and Polyguard, these fittings provide a secure and reliable connection in brownfield and industrial redevelopment sites. Lightweight and easy to install, they maintain the integrity of the barrier system while meeting the rigorous standards required for drinking water applications.

• Contaminated Ground Installations: Ideal for sites with historical or existing industrial pollution, such as brownfield developments, former railway land, and areas with chemical or organic contamination.
• Utility and Infrastructure Projects: Used in public and private water supply systems, requiring protection from ground contaminants.
• New Developments on Redeveloped Land: Essential in housing or commercial projects where clean water must be transported through previously contaminated terrain.
• Regulated Water Installations: Suitable for potable water supply networks that must meet BS8588 and Kiwa Reg4 standards for barrier systems.

• Component Preparation

Remove the nut and grip ring from the fitting.
Slide the brown compression nut onto the pipe followed by the grip ring.

• Adaptor Insertion

Push the barbed end of the barrier adaptor into the pipe until it meets the internal stop.
Insert the plain end of the adaptor into the fitting body until it fully seats.

• Securing the Connection

Screw the brown nut tightly towards the fitting body until secure.
Do not overtighten or use tools unless specified by the manufacturer.

• Verification

Check for visible alignment markers (if present) and test system pressure only after full assembly is complete.
Ensure all components are free from damage and contamination before backfilling or commissioning.
