It suits domestic water, irrigation, and light industrial installations where a secure MDPE to BSP connection is needed. This fitting combines a 20mm MDPE compression end with a 1\/2\" BSP female thread. The MDPE body provides chemical resistance and durability, while the compression nut and olive create a leak-free joint on the MDPE pipe when installed correctly. The 1\/2\" BSPF outlet accepts compatible male BSP connectors, enabling straightforward integration with standard fittings and valves. \u003cul\u003e \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePressure rating:\u003c\/strong\u003e PN10 MDPE fittings designed to withstand up to 10 bar (approximately 145 psi) in typical water and irrigation networks.\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMaterial and durability:\u003c\/strong\u003e MDPE offers corrosion resistance and flexibility, helping manage pressure fluctuations and outdoor exposure.\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eJoint integrity:\u003c\/strong\u003e Compression connection on the MDPE side is intended to be leak-free when the olive is seated and the nut is tightened per guidance.\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eOutlet type:\u003c\/strong\u003e 1\/2\" BSPF thread provides a standard female thread for compatible male BSP components.\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eVersatility:\u003c\/strong\u003e Suitable for water supply, irrigation manifolds, and systems where an MDPE to BSP connection is required.\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eEase of installation:\u003c\/strong\u003e No specialised equipment is needed beyond basic hand tools; ensure clean, square pipe ends and proper tightening.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e Use cases:\n- Isolating and diverting water in a garden irrigation setup by linking MDPE 20mm runs to a 1\/2\" BSP male valve or accessory.\n- Retrofitting an existing MDPE network to connect to standard BSP accessories, filters, or back-check valves.\n- Joining MDPE pipework to compatible pressure-regulating or metering devices with BSP connections. Installation tips:\n- Cut the MDPE pipe square, deburr edges, and slide the olive into the pipe before tightening the compression nut.\n- Thread the BSP side only to the mating component; use appropriate thread sealant or PTFE tape on the male BSP thread, not on the compression side.\n- Do not overtighten; test the system for leaks with the correct pressure, then repressurise gradually. This fitting offers a practical, field-proven solution for converting a 20mm MDPE run to a 1\/2\" BSP outlet, with a focus on straightforward installation and durable performance in typical UK plumbing and irrigation applications.\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Akor","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":57006239318390,"sku":"MDPEVALVE20-12BSPF001","price":4.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/2114\/5867\/files\/mdpe-valve-20mm-12-bspf-3309781.jpg?v=1769381827","url":"https:\/\/armstrongsupplies.co.uk\/products\/mdpe-valve-20mm-1-2-bspf","provider":"Armstrong Cheshire","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
