CAP END BSP 1 1/2" (40mm) PHILMAC 90490500 at a glance

Philmac’s robust threaded fittings provide precision BSP tapered threads that have been engineered to maximise sealing performance.

The versatile range is made from high performance, UV resistant polypropylene that does not absorb moisture.

Installation is quick, simple and reliable every time.

The material is also potable water (AS/NZ 4020) approved. (Note: Products marked “Ancillary” are not potable water approved.)

Philmac’s threaded fittings provide maximum versatility, delivering a high performance connection across a wide range of pressure ratings and chemical combinations.

The hexagonal body makes them extremely simple to install. Importantly, Philmac threaded fittings are suitable for working pressures up to PN16 for sizes up to 2”, PN12 for 2-1/2” and PN10 for 3” and 4” sized fittings.

Smart hexagonal design makes the fittings compatible with tools and ensures that Philmac BSP threaded fittings are extremely easy to install.

Philmac threaded fittings are manufactured from high quality materials that ensure strong connections for many years.

The material also has a high degree of UV resistance to ensure long term performance even in direct sunlight.

Insert the 1 1/2" (40mm) BSP cap end onto the barbed or threaded end of your rural poly pipe, ensuring the pipe is clean and dry before connection. For barb fittings, slide the pipe firmly onto the barb until it reaches the collar, then secure with two stainless steel hose clamps (one near the barb tip, one near the collar). For threaded connections, wrap the male thread with PTFE tape and screw the fitting hand-tight, then use an adjustable wrench for a final quarter-turn. Always check that the connection is secure and free from leaks before pressurising the system. Tips: Always use stainless steel clamps with barb fittings in rural Queensland — galvanised clamps will corrode in our climate and fail prematurely. If you're unsure whether your existing pipe is 1 1/2", measure the inner diameter; rural poly sizing uses imperial measurements (1", 1.25", 1.5", 2") based on ID, not OD. Store unused fittings in a cool, shaded location away from direct UV exposure to maintain the integrity of the poly material.
