First we give you an overview of how MDPE fittings work and how you use MDPE pipe liners or inserts to strengthen the joints and prevent your pipes from collapsing. We then talk you through tool options to cleanly cut your water mains or irrigation pipes. Next we demonstrate in 4 easy steps how to connect a 25mm MDPE Equal Tee covering: how to cut your MDPE pipes (using Pipe cutters), fittings MDPE Liners/ Inserts, connecting MDPE Pipe Fittings (using water pump pliers) and testing & backfilling MDPE Pipes.

Lastly, we give you some tips how to backfill MDPE pipes to protect against punctures from sharp stones or rocks and how you can mark your pipes or irrigation zones to identify different pipes should you need to dig them up for any reason in future. There's nothing like knowing exactly which pipe goes where when some maintenance or extensions are needed.

Good tip regarding secateurs, don’t want buy cutters to only ever use once

[taiwowatson]

Amazing, learned something new today. Thank you.

[TheClaudos]

Thank you for sharing this video. Nice to have someone explain plumbing in metric for a change.

[savagestu]

Try using your pliers in the way they are intended to grip will stop them slipping. Also on the fitting there are insertion depth markings which will help line up your cuts if your unable to move your pipes or have no play. Also when tightening I would hold the body of the tee and do one side up at a time. Good vid though

[boywithadolphin]

I put my underground pipe in conduit so easy to replace if needed.

[ABUNABI]

Can you connect with running water ..? Without stopping the water..?

[BrumGP]

Really helpful video. Please could you explain how you then connected up your system to the water supply?

[uyuy]

They don't sell the inserts where I am . Is there a way round that?

[antoniogalluccio]

I've seen Water thames at work. They only use liners (inserts) on pushfit fittings, when they fit compression fittings they just don't use inserts. I don't understand why

[antonieoostendorp]

The white Clamp is a Grip Ring, you don't need those inserts as they are not part of the pipe or fitting and make sure you use your tools the correct way. Do not push a plain end into the fitting as it will roll the O ring and make your pipe leak always use your beveling tool to make a bevel and you can use pipe lube. The correct tension on MDPE Fittings is 1/2 a turn past hand tight. Still a good video. MDPE pipe is measured by the ID so a 20mm ID Pipe is actually 25 yours looks more like 32. Come and spend a day with me and I will teach you how to do this correctly.

[philipbunn]

Underground pipe should be 750mm deep, that looks less than 200mm deep

[shyampandit]

In India hdpe pipes dont require any linear.

[emmanuelrabson]

Why my couplings keep leaking please help me

[theself-helpconnection]

It is wrong to tight to much-incorrect!

[pimpshyt]

Why didn't you use pvc or scheduled 80 must be your cheap like my client I've went to repair it 3 times I'm done
