McAlpine MT18E 40mm Repair Slip Coupling – 1 1/2″ Universal Waste Pipe Joiner

McAlpine MT18E 40mm Repair Slip Coupling – 1 1/2″ Universal Waste Pipe Joiner

• Perfect fitting for if you have a crack, split, hole etc… in waste pipes 40 – 43mm
• Simple ‘nut & cone’ washer connection
• Will join 40mm to 43mm and anything in between
• Perfect for repairing bath, kitchen sink, shower tray, wet room, washing machine & dishwasher waste pipes to basin waste pipes

Instructions:

• Cut the damaged section out (CHECK THE LENGTH OF THE FITTING IN THE IMAGES BEFORE DOING SO)
• Simply slide the white nut over the pipe first, then the red/orange nylon washer before the pointed black rubber washer
• Make sure that the black rubber washer is pointing the thin end towards the white fitting you have yet to put on and slide the rubber down the pipe
• Push the rest of the fitting on (the end without the sleeve inside) so that the rubber joins up with the plastic fitting, you may then try and push the fitting with the rubber further down the pipe if need be
• Once you have slipped the coupling all the way back you should be lined up with the opposite piece of pipe so slide the nut, nylon washer and rubber washer on in the same way and make that connection first, sliding the fitting back over to meet the nut
• Finally bring the nut back and screw onto the rest of the fitting, compressing the pointed washer against the plastic to make a seal, then repeat the action for the other side and that’s it!

Details

The McAlpine MT18E is a specialized repair coupling designed for 40mm (1 1/2″) waste pipe systems. Specifically, this fitting features a slip-coupler design on one end, allowing it to slide completely onto the pipe to bridge gaps or repair breaks in tight spaces. It utilizes McAlpine’s Universal Multifit technology to ensure a watertight seal on plastic, copper, and lead pipes. Manufactured from durable polypropylene, it is built to handle high water temperatures and common household detergents. Consequently, it is the professional choice for repairing bath, sink, or shower waste runs without dismantling the entire system.

Repairing a burst or leaking waste pipe often reveals a frustrating lack of space. If a pipe is fixed into a wall or floor, you cannot pull the ends apart far enough to fit a standard double-ended coupling. Specifically, trying to force a rigid fitting onto fixed pipework often results in cracked pipes or failed seals. Moreover, many standard couplers only work with specific plastic types, leaving you stuck if you encounter older lead or copper plumbing. However, the McAlpine MT18E eliminates this struggle. The slip-end functionality allows you to slide the fitting back over one pipe, align the joint, and then slide it into position for a perfect fit. The Multifit seals adjust to various pipe diameters (40mm to 43mm), creating a rock-solid, mechanical joint. Therefore, you can complete a complex repair in minutes without needing to cut out large sections of pipework.
