Philmac Fittings

(1 customer review)

Philmac is a global leader in the design and manufacture of specialized fittings for polyethylene and other non-metallic pipes. The Philmac 3G Compression fittings line-up is the next generation of water line compression fittings and offers the most advanced and interchangeable solutions available on the market today. Heat-Line is pleased to offer a wide range of Philmac 3G Compression style fittings designed for connection of polyethylene water pipes which includes SIDR IPS, OD IPS, and CTS normal dimension pipes. Philmac fittings are constructed out of highly developed thermoplastic material and feature a solid ergonomic grip and exceptional interchangeability.

Features

The Philmac 3G Compression series of fittings provide a compact, lightweight, and user-friendly design that reduces the overall possibility of pipe twist while remaining completely serviceable. In comparison to other compression fittings available on the market, Philmac 3G Compression fittings are designed to exceed required life expectancy ratings of 50 years and offer Philmac’s unique Slide and Tighten’ technology.

The Philmac 3G Compression fittings series is based on more than 5 decades of product design, marketing and manufacturing experience. The 3G series by Philmac represents the culmination of years of development and engineering, cutting edge manufacturing technology and demanding performance testing.

 

Projected Life of Compression Fittings

Philmac 3G Compression fittings are engineered and manufactured to exceed the established 50-year life expectancy required for polyethylene pipe and fitting materials. Philmac has taken every step necessary to ensure that every aspect of their fitting, including materials and design, is intended for life expectancies greater than those simply required.

 

Head Losses

To calculate head loss, the 3G Compression fittings can be replaced with an equivalent length of pipe. The following formula is used to estimate this equivalent length of polyethylene pipe based on the transmission of water;

L (feet) = ID (inch) x F
where L = head loss based on
equivalent pipe length (feet)
ID = pipe inner diameter (inch)
F = fitting constant

Resistance to Impact

Philmac 3G Compression fittings are constructed with the highest quality thermoplastic materials available, which provide excellent resistance to impact as per ASTM D2444.

 

Abrasion Resistance

Philmac has engineered and manufactured the 3G Compression fitting series to be suitable for use with abrasive slurries. This means that the fittings will withstand the normal flow conditions found in urban, mining, industrial, rural water, and waste water applications.

 

Weathering

Philmac 3G Compression fittings are engineered from materials specifically designed for above ground installations without the need of additional protection. The thermoplastic materials used in the construction of the fittings contain pigments which prevent damage due to UV radiation.

 

Thermal Insulation

The Philmac 3G Compression fittings are constructed of polypropylene, which has a natural insulation factor 2000 times greater than common copper and 200 times greater than common steel. As a result, the thermal transfer of energy through the fitting body is greatly reduced, meaning less possibility of condensation.

 

Light Transmission

Simply said, the Philmac 3G Compression fittings do not transmit light. The all black bodied design eliminates any potential for light transmission through the fitting which protects potable water flowing through the fitting from growth of micro-organisms.

 

Effect on Water

Philmac 3G Series Compression fittings are CSA and NSF certified for potable water. They are found not to impart to water any odour, taste, colour, or any constituents in concentrations that could be harmful.
