The Philmac UTC (Universal Transition Coupling) is a unique range of mechanical compression fittings that provides the ultimate pipe connection flexibility. Without modification, the same fitting connects to a variety of materials including PVC, copper, galvanized iron, ABS, lead, stainless steel, and polyethylene. Each size fitting covers a range of pipe diameters providing a “Universal” solution.
Join any pipe in a variety of sizes with the one-fitting
Philmac is the global leader in the design and manufacture of plastic compression fittings that provide the ultimate pipe connection flexibility.
The UTC® range is specially designed for connecting pipes made from various materials, such as polyethylene, galvanized iron, PVC, copper, ABS, lead, and stainless steel. In addition to winning an Australian Design Award in 1999 for innovation in product development, the UTC® has been embraced by global water utilities including Australia, the UK, Europe, and North America.
Benefits of Philmac Transition UTC:
- Complete Flexibility
Universal Design:
Through its wide tolerance, the Philmac UTC® is designed to accommodate a range of different diameters on most pipe materials (including copper, PE, PVC, lead, steel, galvanized iron, ABS, and stainless steel). - Fast and Easy Installation
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. - Easy disassembly
The design of the UTC® 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. - High-Performance Materials
Made from advanced thermoplastic materials: The Philmac UTC 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.
Installation of Philmac Transition UTC:
- The fitting is pre-assembled and ready to use. Cut the pipe square and to length using the flange on the central body as a guide. Ensure the end of the connecting pipe is undamaged and clean.
- To ensure adequate insertion depth, the witness marks the pipe to the back of the flange.
- Insert the pipe to the correct depth. Always ensure the nut is backed off and 3 threads are showing. Pipes at the top end of the fitting tolerance may require 5 threads showing.
- Tighten the nut firmly with a wrench. The nut will not butt against the body flange when the pipe size is at the top end of the fitting tolerance.
Complete Range of Philmac Transition UTC:
- Approvals
The Philmac UTC® holds a number of approvals WaterMark (Australia); WRAS (UK) for above and below-ground use; ACS (France), CSA (Canada), and NSF (USA). The fittings are also manufactured to the highest standards in accordance with the company’s ISO 9001:2000 Quality Endorsed status. - Rated to 1250KPa (181 PSI, 12.5 Bar)
The Philmac UTC® is pressure-rated to 1250KPa (12.5 bar) to meet the needs of high-pressure systems - 50 year + design life
Built to withstand the toughest conditions to ensure longevity and durability, Philmac UTC® has a 50-year+ design life. - Complete Coverage
The Philmac UTC® range is comprehensive: Straight and reducing joiners, elbows, tees, and male adapters, in both transition (PE to UTC®) and double-ended versions (UTC® to UTC®) ranging from 15mm to 61mm.
