The professionals choice for
MDPE Compression fittings for MDPE & PE pipe
WRAS approved
for use with potable water
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
