Hi,
I'm doing an automatic irrigation project with Arduino, which is connected to a solenoid valve which has male 3/4'' threading for water input and output (this solenoid valve - product page in Italian, sorry). I need to connect the output to a 16mm polyethylene pipe, and searching online I only found this connector which is apparently supposed to be for underfloor heating. Can I connect it to the pipe even if it's for underfloor heating? Do you have any other suggestions for connectors?
Thank you

Edit: had to remove hyperlinks, seems to be causing issues as it's flagged as spam.

Plumbing sizes are bsp if you say 3/4 do you mean 3/4 bsp or 3/4 as measured with a tape measure as they are different. May differ if you are not in uk
I'm in Italy. I've only seen the 3/4 measure for threadings and it should be as measured with a tape measure. The product listing for the pipe says it's got a diameter of 16mm, and I need to connect that to a solenoid valve with a male threading which the product page says has a size of 3/4''.

I want to reconnect some outbuildings to an existing water supply. The supply pipe is old 22mm MDPE and buried for a fair distance so not going to dig it up and replace it 😬. Question is can I use normal 22mm plumbing push-fit connectors to make the connection as finding 22mm MDPE fittings...
