Fast and easy installation:
-
Slide & Tighten™ technology: 3G Metric™ incorporates all the benefits of Philmac’s unique Slide & Tighten™ technology. No pipe preparation is needed and no force is required to push the pipe past the seal, so installation couldn’t be faster or easier. Simply insert the pipe into the fitting until the first point of resistance is felt, and then tighten the nut. Assembly is so easy you can even do it under live conditions. No special tools are required, and there is no need to disassemble the fitting before use because the 3G Metric™ compression fitting is supplied pre-assembled and ready to use.
-
Compact design: The size of the new Philmac 3G Metric™ compression fitting has been kept to a minimum, making the fitting ideal to use in confined areas. In addition to making connections with minimal turns of the nut, the design and size of the fitting means that in installations taking place between two fixed points, the manipulation of the pipe into the fitting becomes easy.
-
Easy disassembly: The fitting has been designed so the split collet is released as soon as the nut is backed off, making disassembly easy.
Complete security:
-
Dynamic sealing method: The mechanical advantage of the nut thread compresses the seal into position, eliminating resistance when inserting the pipe into the fitting so there is no risk of seal distortion or displacement.
-
Visual stop: The flange on the body of Philmac’s 3G Metric™ compression fitting provides a visual stop to indicate when the nut is fully tightened. This removes any uncertainty from the installation process.
-
No loose components: If the nut is removed there is no danger of losing components, as the collet and seal ring are retained in the body of the fitting. Losing components in the trench becomes a thing of the past.
-
Designed to minimise pipe twist: The fitting has been designed to minimise pipe twist as the nut is tightened. Maximum pipe twist is approximately a quarter turn compared to one and a half turns with many other fittings. Pipe twist can impact on not only the connection you have just made but also on the connection at the other end of the line.
High performance:
-
Made from advanced thermoplastic materials: 3G Metric™ is manufactured from lightweight high performance thermoplastic materials with outstanding impact, UV, chemical and corrosion resistance. The material is non-toxic and taint-free.
-
Rated to 1600 kpa: 3G Metric™ is pressure rated to 1600 kpa (PN16) to meet the needs of high pressure systems.
-
50 year+ design life: Built to withstand the toughest conditions to ensure longevity and durability, 3G Metric™ has a 50 year+ design life.
Complete coverage:
-
Wide range: The new 3G Metric™ range is comprehensive: straight and reducing joiners, tees, elbows, end connectors and caps ranging from 20mm to 63mm.
-
Approvals: Philmac fittings comply with AS/NZS 4129:2000 and are WRAS approved for above and below ground use.
