JG Speedfit MDPE Reducing Coupler 25mm to 32mm

Stepping a water supply down a size is the job of this JG Speedfit MDPE reducing coupler. It takes the bigger pipe on one end and the smaller pipe on the other, with Push-Fit joints on both.

Where this JG Speedfit MDPE reducing coupler fits

Say you are renewing a 32mm supply to a farmhouse but the yard tap only needs 25mm. Or a builder has laid 25mm to a plot and the final run is 20mm. One coupler handles the change, and the joint can be undone later if the layout changes. That is handy on temporary site supplies.

• 32mm x 25mm
• 25mm x 20mm
• Push-Fit with stainless steel gripping teeth
• For cold water

Check which end is which before you cut the pipe to length. Fit inserts in both pipes, push each end fully home and pull back to test the grip. Then put the supply under pressure and leave it a while before the trench is filled.

Common Questions

Which end of the reducer takes the bigger pipe?

The larger socket takes the bigger pipe, so on a 32mm x 25mm it is the 32mm end. Check before you cut the pipe to length.

Can a reducing coupler come apart later?

Yes, Speedfit MDPE joints can be undone once the water is off. Push the collet square to the fitting and draw the pipe out.

Is it suitable for a temporary site supply?

Yes, because it can be taken apart and reused. Check the pipe ends and inserts are not damaged before refitting.
