Is this item suitable to fit an MDPE pipe to an outside tap?
It says 'stopcock', but is this the same as an outside tap? If not suitable, what should I use? If it is suitable, what else would I require to start an MDPE (20mm) pipe run?

No, this adaptor kit would not adapt MDPE pipe to a outside tap. You would require a wall plate elbow (Screwfix code 62324).

This item is labelled as "for stopcock only", and the reply to the previous question says that to convert MDPE-Copper needs a "universal adapter". However, Screwfix don't sell such an adapter. So how am I to do the conversion ?
Other reviewers here have said that they have successfully used thus kit to convert with a normal in-line coupler - so what am I missing ?

Originally, you had to adapt the kit to get it to work with a MDPE fitting. However I have recently used this kit twice more and it no longer needs adapting to work. The manufacturers have changed the o ring seal and the brown spacer so that it fits properly into a MDPE fitting now. Ive used this 'updated' kit on a coupling and an elbow without any need to adapt it for the fitting. You just have to discard the white plastic gripping grommet that comes in the MDPE fitting and use the brown cone that comes in the kit instead. The pieces in the new 'updated' kit differ slightly from the photo above which is now outdated.

This states in the catalogue that it is only for stop cocks
This states in the catalogue that it is only for stop cocks but i need to connect 15mm copper pipe to 25mm poly pipe

Yes the adaptor kit shown is only for use with a stop cock. You will need a universal adaptor to go between the 15mm copper and 25mm MDPE.
