FloPlast MDPE Reducing Coupler 25mm to 50mm

The FloPlast MDPE reducing coupler joins a bigger MDPE pipe to a smaller one in a straight line. It saves using a coupler and a separate reducer, so there is one joint instead of two.

When you need a FloPlast MDPE reducing coupler

Use one where a 25mm supply comes in and a 20mm run carries on to a garage or garden. It also works where a 32mm main steps down to 25mm once it is inside the boundary. The 50mm x 32mm size suits bigger jobs, such as a shared supply to several houses or a farm main. All of them are for cold water.

• 25mm x 20mm
• 32mm x 25mm
• 50mm x 32mm
• Straight reducing joint for MDPE pipe

Check which end goes where before cutting, because the two nuts are different sizes. Cut both pipes square and fit the right liner in each one. Push each pipe fully home and tighten the nut by hand. Lay the pipe in sand or fine fill, not stones, and test before backfilling.

Common Questions

Which reducing coupler steps a 32mm main down to 25mm?

The 32mm x 25mm. The other sizes are 25mm x 20mm and a 50mm x 32mm for larger supplies.

Is the 50mm x 32mm for houses?

It is mainly for shared or farm supplies where a 50mm main drops to 32mm. Most homes are fed with 25mm.

What should I bed the pipe in?

Lay MDPE on sand or fine fill, never on stones. Sharp stones can cut into the pipe over time.
