Philmac’s range of poly fittings and valves are made right here in Australia. They are designed and manufactured to suit demanding Australian conditions, and undertake extensive testing in the laboratories and in the field to make sure that they do. Philmac – proudly developing and manufacturing products in Adelaide, South Australia since 1929.

Compression fittings do not require thread tape as it is not the thread the seals the fittings but rather compression nut.  For all Philmac Poly BSP Threaded fittings, we would recommend using a quality Teflon tape with at least 8-10 rotations in a clockwise direction.  The Teflon thread tape will create an air tight and water proof seal.

Philmac Poly Threaded fittings are manufactured from high performance, UV resistant polypropylene material that prevents moisture absorption and sustains product dimensions. The chemical and corrosion resistance provides a reliable and long life for the fitting. Compression fittings are manufactured from lightweight, high performance thermoplastic materials with outstanding impact, UV and corrosion resistance. The materials used are non-toxic and taint free.

Philmac poly fittings are frost rated but not freeze rated.   Poly pipe and fittings are able to cope with some extra pressure associated with frost as it can expand along its length to absorb a limited amount of expansion. Brass fittings do not allow for this extra pressure and we recommend installing plastic or poly fittings in frost prone areas.

PVC threaded fittings have a BSP thread, the same for poly threaded fittings.  This allows you to go from poly pipe to PVC or vice versa.  BSP stands for British Standard Plumbing and is common in Australia and the commonwealth countries. It is based on trade size rather than actual diameter which can lead to some confusion when measuring ports.

Yes, Philmac recycled water fittings work the same as all other fittings. Recycled water products are coloured lilac for indicative purposes for use with reclaimed and recycled water. The colour is necessary for easy identification purposes as it marks as a warning for non drinking water.
