JOINER 3G METRIC COUPLING 32MM X 32MM PHILMAC 70714400
Designed to make the job at hand so much easier, the 3G Metric plastic compression fitting is the product of Philmac's unrelenting commitment to continuous improvement and a culture based on innovation and ingenuity
Benefits:
Fast and easy installation
Slide & Tighten technology:
3G Metric incorporates 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 stop is felt, and then tighten the nut.
Assembly is so easy you can even do it under live conditions.
No special tools are required, and there is no need to disassemble the fitting before use because the 3G Metric compression fitting is supplied pre-assembled and ready to use.
Compact design:
The size of the new Philmac 3G Metric 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 fitting 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 collet is released as soon as the nut is backed off, making disassembly easy.
Complete security:
Dynamic sealing method:
The mechanical advantage of the nut thread compresses the seal into position.
Visual stop:
The flange on the body of Philmac's 3G Metric compression fitting provides a visual stop to indicate when the nut is fully tightened.
This removes any uncertainty from the installation process.
No loose components:
If the nut is removed there is no danger of losing components, as the collet and seal are retained in the body of the fitting.
Losing components in the trench becomes a thing of the past.
Designed to minimise pipe twist:
The fitting has been designed to minimise 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.

Common Questions
What is the 3G Metric Coupling and what's it used for?
It's a plastic compression fitting designed to join two lengths of 32mm pipe together. The fitting uses Philmac's Slide & Tighten technology to make installation fast and easy — no special tools or pipe preparation needed.
Do I need any special tools to install it?
No special tools are required. Simply insert the pipe into the fitting until you feel the stop, then tighten the nut. The fitting comes pre-assembled and ready to use straight out of the pack.
Can I disconnect and reconnect it later if needed?
Yes. The fitting is designed for easy disassembly — just back off the nut and the collet releases. You won't lose any components because the collet and seal stay held in the body of the fitting.
What's it made from and how long will it last?
It's made from advanced thermoplastic materials that resist impact, UV, chemicals and corrosion. The fitting has a 50 year+ design life and is rated to 1600 kpa, so it's built to handle tough conditions. It's also WaterMark approved and has WSAA appraisal.
