The professionals choice for MDPE Push-fit fittings for MDPE & PE pipe


Benefits
Pushfit fittings are quick and easy to use, with no nuts to lose or leave undone.
The connections grip and seal on the pipe increases with water pressure and
tensile load so that the pipe will burst or neck before the connection will fail.

Technical
Pressures:
Working: 16 bar
Test: 24 bar
The pressures stated above apply with water temperatures up to 20°C

Performance specifications
With reasonable care the simple Talbot Pushfit design minimises the risk of error
during assembly. Talbot Pushfit fittings have excellent mechanical strength and can
tolerate normal pipe imperfections as well as unsquare cut ends of pipe.
To meet the requirements of the Water Regulations Advisory Scheme (WRAS) it is
necessary to use an insert or liner with metric MDPE service pipe to BS 6572:1985,
BS 6730 and HPPE to WIS 4-32-13 for below ground use in the UK.
The liner is not an integral part of the Pushfit joint and for polyethylene pipe other than
the PE pipe material shown above use of the liner is optional. If a liner is not used the
connection will still substantially exceed most international performance
requirements.
Talbot recommend the use of a liner with all mains fittings for PE pipe of 63mm and
above, although they are WRAS listed without liners.

What it means........

Any water fitting, which when installed, will carry or receive water from the public mains water supply in the UK, must comply with the Water Supply (Water Fittings) Regulations or Scottish Byelaws.  These require that a water fitting should not cause waste, misuse, undue consumption or contamination of the water supply and must be ‘of an appropriate quality and standard’. WRAS Approval is the easiest way to demonstrate compliance as it is granted directly by representatives of the water suppliers and is therefore accepted by every water supplier in the UK.

WRAS Product Approval: Whole products such as valves, fittings, boilers & showers undergo mechanical and water quality testing. This type of approval demonstrates full compliance with requirements of the regulations and byelaws, provided the fitting is installed according to any conditions given with the approval.

WRAS Material Approval: Non-metallic materials & components, such as rubber sheet material & ‘O’ rings, undergo testing only for their effects on water quality.  This type of approval demonstrates that the non-metallic material/component does not itself contaminate the water and therefore satisfies this particular requirement of regulations and byelaws
