Which Pipe Fittings to Use
Medium Density
Medium Density Pipe:
-
- Blueline
- SKU: 2500-(OD Pipe Size)PN12-5-(Coil Length)
- e.g 2500-25PN12-5-100 (25mm = OD size, PN12.5 = Bar, 100 = Coil Length)
- Redline
- SKU: 360-(OD Pipe Size)PN(Bar Rate)-(Coil Length)
- e.g 360-63PN9-100 (63mm = OD size, PN9 = Bar, 100 = Coil Length)
- Greenline
- SKU: 370-(OD Pipe Size)PN(Bar Rate)-(Coil Length)
- e.g 370-32PN8-100 (32mm = OD size, PN8 = Bar, 100 = Coil Length)
- Blueline
Tips:
- Medium-density pipe is referred to by its outside diameter (OD)
- Medium Density Fittings go overtop of MD Pipe
- The pipe needs to be pushed past the o-ring in the MD fitting to seal
- If the MD pipe is scratched or gouged, it may not create a seal on the o-ring and leak.
- Use tools to tighten
Low Density
Used for:
- Low-Density Pipe
- SKU: 300-(ID Pipe Size)-(Coil Size)
- e.g 300-25-100 (25mm = ID Size, 100 = Coil Length)
Tips:
- Low-density pipe is referred to by its inside diameter (ID)
- The low-density fitting barbs go inside the pipe
- The LD screw nut tightens overtop of the LD pipe.
- Hand tightened
Lateral Fittings
Used for:
- Lateral Pipe
- SKU: 350-(ID Pipe Size)-(Coil Size)
- e.g 350-25-100 (25mm = ID Size, 100 = Coil Length)
Tips:
- Lateral pipe is referred to by its inside diameter (ID)
- Lateral fittings are inserted inside the lateral pipe
- Ratchet Clips are required for lateral fittings
- Lateral fittings have a single barb
- To assist in installation, use boiling/hot water to soften the pipe
Dripline Fittings
Used for:
- Dripline
- Effluent Line
Tips:
- Dripline is 16mm Outside Diameter (OD) and 14mm Inside DIameter (ID)
- Dripline fittings are 14mm and inserted inside the dripline pipe
- Dripline fittings are referred to by the outside diameter.
- Ratchet Clips are not required for dripline fittings
- Dripline fittings have 2 or more barbs
- To assist in installation, use boiling/hot water to soften the pipe. Use up and down movements
Driptape Fittings
Used for:
- Driptape
Tips:
- Driptape is a thin-walled tube
- hand tighten the nut over top of the tape
PVC Fittings
Used for:
- PVC Pipe
- SKU: 800-(ID Pipe Size)-PN(Bar Rating)(Length)
- e.g 800-25-PN125.8 (25mm = ID Size, PN12.5 = Bar Rating)(5.8 = Length)
Tips:
- PVC Pipe is referred to by its inside diameter (ID)
- Use Primer to clean the fitting and pipe before installation
- Apply Solvent Cement on both the PVC pipe and fitting
- Secure the fitting and hold to dry for 30 seconds
- PVC Spigot fittings are male and go inside the female PVC Socket fittings or pipe
