Description Of Philmac – 3G Metric Compression
It couldn’t be easier, than sliding the fitting on to a square-cut pipe and tightening the nut up against the flange for a reliable connection, every time.

Each fitting is pre-assembled and ready to use so there’s no need to disassemble the fittings or prepare the pipe before use. Cut the PE pipe square and slide it into the fitting until you feel the first point of resistance and then tighten the nut to the flange on the body of the fitting.
Benefits of 3G Metric Compression:
- No loose components
The grip ring and seal remain captive in the body when the nut is removed. - Interchangeability
Rural, Safelok® and 3G® Metric components are all interchangeable as they share a common body. - Made from Advanced Materials
The fitting is manufactured from lightweight, high-performance thermoplastic materials with outstanding impact, UV, and corrosion resistance. The materials used are non-toxic and taint-free. - Slide and Tighten™
Incorporating all the benefits of Slide and Tighten™ technology with 100% positive feedback. - Disassembly
The fitting has been designed so the grip ring is released as the nut is backed off, enabling the pipe to be simply pulled out of the fitting. - Compact Size
The size of Metric fittings has been kept to a minimum making this fitting ideal to use in compact spaces. - Minimal pipe twist
The fitting is designed to minimize pipe twists, reducing the risk of loosening joints. - Visual stop
The flange on the body of the fitting acts as a visual cue to indicate when the nut is fully tightened. Once the nut touches the flange on the body, the fitting is fully tightened.
Installation of 3G Metric Compression:
- Cut the pipe square, there is no need to chamfer or lubricate the pipe
- Ensure 2 threads are showing and simply slide the pipe in until the first point of resistance is felt.
- Tighten the nut by hand to the point where the nut is touching the flange on the body of the fitting. Do not tighten beyond this point.
- Fittings 32mm to 63mm may require the use of a wrench or multi-grips to tighten the nut so it is touching the flange.
Complete Range of 3G Metric Compression:
Choose from a wide selection of fittings (from 16mm to 63mm) including straight and reducing joiners and tees, elbows, end connectors, caps, and blanking plugs.
