Harco - 2" x 1 1/2" PHILMAC IPS-OD Compression x ACME 90° Service Elbow

Compression fittings are not just the new generation of pipe fittings for CTS and IPS OD PE Pipes – they are the next generation. The culmination of years of exhaustive research and development, utilisation of cutting–edge manufacturing technology and stringent testing, this new range of premium products represents Philmac’s most exciting generation of plastic compression fittings.

Featuring Philmac’s unique Slide & Tighten™ technology, compression fittings for CTS and IPS OD PE Pipes makes installation easy – no insert is required and no force is needed to push the pipe in. And a visual stop reduces the risk of overtightening.

The range of plastic compression fittings are the product of Philmac’s unrelenting commitment to continuous improvement and a culture based on innovation and ingenuity.

Fast and Easy Installation

• Slide & Tighten™ technology: compression fittings incorporate 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. Also, there is no need to disassemble the fitting before use because compression fittings are supplied pre–assembled and ready to use.
• Compact design: The size of the new Philmac 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 fittings 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

• Visual stop: The flange on the body of the compression fitting provides a visual stop to indicate when the nut is fully tightened. This removes any uncertainty from the installation process and eliminates the risk of over–tightening.
• 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.
• 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.
• Designed to minimize pipe twist: The fitting has been designed to minimize 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.
