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)

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.

Tips:

  • Lateral pipe is referred to by its inside diameter (ID)

  • Dripline fittings are referred to by the outside diameter.
  • Ratchet Clips are not required for dripline fittings
  • Dripline fittings have 2 or more barbs

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
