Hi all,
I have just connected my new 25mm MDPE water main to a 25mm compression brass stop cock. I used a copper tube insert into the MDPE pipe and tightened the connection (probably a little more than i would usually when connecting copper to copper using compression). I now have a connection that wont pull apart but still turns around on the 25mm MDPE pipe. is this normal / ok with this type of fitting?
Or do I need to tighten further?
part used was SF Product Code: 86048 (Poly Stop Cock 15 x 25mm)

thanks in advance
