MDPE Fittings

Learn more about MDPE fittings

MDPE, or Medium Density Polyethylene, fittings connect and adapt MDPE pipe on underground and external water runs. They are used on utility supply connections and external plumbing where the pipe needs to be jointed, changed in direction, reduced in size or capped off.

Typical uses

• MDPE water pipe fittings for utility connections, external water runs and other plumbing and heating applications.

• Pipe fittings for joining, changing direction, reducing size or capping off an MDPE line.

• MDPE saddle fittings for making a branch connection without replacing a full section of pipe.

• Electrofusion MDPE fittings for jointing where a fused connection is specified.

• MDPE compression fittings for straightforward mechanical joining on suitable pipework.

How to choose the right MDPE fitting

• Match the fitting to the pipe outside diameter, material and SDR rating.

• Check whether the job calls for compression, electrofusion, saddle or transition fittings, based on the fixing method and access on site.

• Confirm the pressure rating and any temperature limits required by the system specification.

• Check compatibility with MDPE, barrier pipe or other plastic water pipe fittings where the specification calls for it.

• Select the right elbows, tees, reducers, couplers or end caps for the layout, rather than forcing one fitting type to cover every joint.

Before you order

• Use the product specification and the fitting type to narrow the choice.

• If you are buying for a run of pipework, pick the parts that match the layout first.

• Confirm the size, material and SDR rating before you place the order.
