MDPE Fittings
MDPE (Medium Density Polyethylene, sometimes just called PE) is the type of plastic used for mains water pipe and is suitable for going underground. It comes in 2 varieties – standard and barrier. The standard variant has a choice of 2 colours – black or blue. Common external diameters are 20mm, 25mm, 32mm, 40mm, 50mm and 63mm.
The fittings for this pipe are almost always of a ‘compression’ type, in that they are tightened onto the pipe and compress it slightly.
We offer quality MDPE fittings from the likes of Philmac, Plasson and Blue Line.
