we have a 3/8" Alkathene water main


Returning to my water main.
 

As a temporary supply I connected some 20mm MDPE pipe to my 3/8” Alkathene water main using a Plasson connector and adapter. I’d now like to run 25mm MDPE from the 3/8” main to the house, the only adapter I can find to do that is this one:

I’ve never heard of them before. Are they any good? Are there better options? 

 

Ta in advance.

3/8” sounds really small - is that the internal diameter ..?

 

If the 3/8” is already connected I wouldn’t disturb it but just cut the 20mm and get a 20-25mm connnector - short restriction won’t harm it.

It is. There’s an image on page 1 of this thread. Tiny.

That sounds like a very wise solution. Thanks Peter, I think I’ll do that.
