MDPE Pipe to 22mm

[James Cullinane]

Hi all

So I am replacing a lead pipe in my property, and advise from another member was to replace the stopcock etc to 22mm instead of 15mm.

I was looking at the pipe coming from the road and it is a blue pipe, which was put in around 2 year ago. I presume this means it is MDPE?

Would the fitting at this link be substantial to join this to a 22mm pipe?

Many thanks in advance,

Aslong as you have a 25 mm blue alk pipe your trying to join onto

So save a fitting , you can buy a stoptap that fits directly on to the MDPE assuming of course is convenient for your stoptap , dont forget the liner/s

I just found the MDPE stoptap (25 x 22). That is a better option for me. When you say liners? Are those the pushfit pipe nserts?

Yes and the white 25mm alk liners

If you do use speedfit and compression don’t use the super seal inserts

What is the difference between the super seal and standard? I was looking at the super seal so glad you wrote this

Supers are great for push fit fittings but there too big for compression

You need the regular jg inserts for compression
