The installation of new and the repair of existing gas pipework can be done quickly and easily even in extremely difficult conditions, including inclement weather and confined spaces. There is also no need for electrical power or special tooling.

The Philmac range of gas compression fittings are manufactured from advanced lightweight thermoplastic materials which provide a high degree of impact and corrosion resistance.
Designed to make the job at hand so much easier, the Philmac gas compression fitting range is the product of Philmac’s unrelenting commitment to continuous improvement and a culture based on innovation and ingenuity.

Benefits of PE Gas Range:

Fast and Easy Installation

  • Slide &Tighten™ technology:

    Philmac PE Gas incorporates all the benefits of Philmac’s Slide & Tighten™ technology. Simply insert the liner into the pipe and then insert the pipe into the fitting until the first point of resistance is felt. Then tighten the nut up to the flange of the fitting body. 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. The advantage becomes even more significant in the larger sizes due to the cumbersome nature of large-diameter pipes.

  •  Ease of Repair:

    There is no need for cumbersome equipment and no need to let the joint cure once repaired. Simply repair and as soon as the joint is completed the gas supply can be switched back on.

Complete Security

  • Dynamic Sealing Method:

    The mechanical advantage of the nut thread is used to push the seal into a compressed 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 the Philmac PE Gas fitting provides a visual stop to indicate when the nut is fully tightened. This removes any uncertainty from the installation process.

  • No Loose Components:

    Although disassembly of the fitting is not required for installation, if the nut is removed there is no danger of losing components as they are all retained within the nut. Losing components in the trench becomes a thing of the past.

  • Designed to minimize pipe twist:

    The fitting has been designed to minimize pipe twists as the nut is tightened. Maximum pipe twist is approximately three-quarters of a turn compared to one and a half turns with many other fittings. A pipe twist can impact not only the connection you have just made but also the connection at the other end of the line.

  • Approvals:

    The Philmac PE Gas fitting conforms to AS/NZS 4129:2000 and is approved for use by Alinta, Origin Energy, S&P Ausnet in Australia, and Transco in the UK. The fittings are also manufactured to the highest standards following the Company’s ISO9001:2000 Quality Endorsed status.

  • Strength of Connection:

    The Philmac PE Gas fitting has been designed to ensure that the connection, when properly formed and when a liner is used, will exceed the strength of the PE pipe.

High-Performance Materials

  • Made from advanced thermoplastic materials:

    The Philmac PE Gas range is manufactured from lightweight high-performance thermoplastic materials with outstanding impact, chemical, and corrosion resistance.

  • Rated to 550KPa (5.5 Bar):

    Philmac PE Gas Range is pressure rated to 550KPa (5.5 bar, PN5.5) to meet the needs of Gas pressure systems.

  • 50 year + design life:

    Built to withstand the toughest conditions to ensure longevity and durability, Philmac PE Gas has a 50-year+ design life.

Complete Coverage

  • Wide range:

    The Philmac PE Gas range is comprehensive; straight and reducing joiners, tees, elbows, threaded connectors, and end caps ranging from 16 – 63mm.

  • Flexibility in connection:

    The Philmac PE Gas range provides connections for both Metric and British Imperial-sized PE. Connection methodology is the same for both connections. Identification is easy with a grey nut signifying an Imperial connection and a yellow nut signifying a Metric connection.

Benefits of UTC Gas Range:

Complete Flexibility

  • Universal Design:

    Through its wide tolerance, the Philmac UTC® Gas is designed to accommodate a range of pipes with varying pipe diameters including copper, PE, PVC, lead, steel, galvanized iron, ABS, and stainless steel.

Fast and Easy Installation

  • Slide & Tighten™ technology:

    The Philmac UTC® Gas incorporates all the benefits of Philmac’s Slide & Tighten™ technology. Simply witness mark the pipe against the flange on the fitting, and then insert the pipe to the correct depth. The nut can then be tightened using a wrench. The UTC® is fully installed when the nut can no longer be tightened with reasonable force. No special tools are required and the Philmac UTC® Gas is supplied ready to use.

  • Easy Disassembly:

    The design of the Philmac UTC® Gas means that once the nut is backed off, the pipe can easily be removed from the fitting.

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.
    * Pipes at the top end of the fitting tolerance may
    incur minimum resistance.

  • Approvals:

    The Philmac UTC® Gas conforms to ATS5200.458 and is approved for use by Alinta, Origin Energy, and S&P Ausnet. The fittings are also manufactured to the highest standards under the Company’s ISO9001:2000 Quality Endorsed status.

High-Performance Materials

  • Made from advanced thermoplastic materials:

    The Philmac UTC® Gas is manufactured from lightweight high-performance thermoplastic materials with outstanding impact, UV, chemical, and corrosion resistance. The UTC® end contains hard stainless steel grippers which provide superior end load resistance.

  • Rated to 550KPa (5.5 Bar):

    The Philmac UTC® Gas is pressure rated to 550KPa (5.5 bar) to meet the needs of gas pressure systems.

  • 50 year + design life:

    Built to withstand the toughest conditions to ensure longevity and durability, Philmac UTC® Gas has a 50-year+ design life. Complete Coverage

  • The Philmac UTC® Gas range is comprehensive:

    Straight joiners, endcaps, and elbows in both transition (PE to UTC®) and double-ended versions (UTC® to UTC®) ranging from 15mm to 27mm.

Benefits of Service TEE Gas Range:

Fast and Easy Installation

  • Slide & Tighten™ technology:

    The Philmac Service Tee Gas incorporates the Metric compression fitting Slide & Tighten™ technology. Simply insert the liner into the pipe and then insert the pipe into the fitting until the first point of resistance is felt. Then tighten the nut up to the flange of the fitting body. 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.

  • Deploying the Plug / Cutter:

    Both the Philmac Service Tee Gas Plug and Cutter incorporate a simple socked head drive. This allows for fast and easy installation as the Plug or Cutter can be driven into position inside the Service Tee very quickly, using an Allen Key.

Complete Security

  • Cutter:

    The steel cutter maintains its sharpness to ensure the PE pipe is cut cleanly. The cutter also retains the pipe plug, which is withdrawn from the pipe when the cutter is returned to its original position.

  • Conforms to tapping machine:

    The Philmac Service Tee Gas has been designed to be compatible with industry-standard tapping machines.

  • Dynamic Sealing Method:

    The mechanical advantage of the nut thread is used to push the seal into a compressed position, eliminating resistance when inserting the PE pipe into the fitting so there is no risk of seal distortion or displacement.

  • Visual stop:

    The flange on the body of the Philmac Service Tee Gas provides a visual stop to indicate when the nut is fully tightened. This removes any uncertainty from the installation process.

  • No loose components:

    The Philmac Service Tee Gas comes fully assembled in the ready-to-use position. If the yellow nut is removed there is no danger of losing components as they are all retained within the nut.
