FAQs – Flexi & MDPE Pool Pipe & Fittings

 

Can Flexi Pipe be used for all pool plumbing?

 

Flexi Pipe is ideal for certain applications, such as navigating tight spaces and connecting taps. However, for long-term durability, rigid pipe options are generally preferred where flexibility isn’t needed.

 

Are MDPE Compression Fittings better than solvent-weld connections?

 

MDPE fittings provide a strong, leak-proof connection and are easy to install without requiring adhesives. However, solvent-weld fittings may be a better choice for permanent installations with high pressure.

 

How do I ensure my Flexi Pipe installation is secure?

 

Use high-quality fittings, avoid over-tightening, and ensure there are no kinks or twists in the pipe. Proper installation is key to preventing leaks and ensuring longevity.

 

Do these products comply with UK standards?

 

Yes! Our pipe and fittings meet BS/EN standards and are manufactured under ISO9001 & ISO14001 environmental management systems.
