JOINER 3G METRIC COUPLING 50MM X 50MM PHILMAC 70716600
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's the Slide & Tighten technology and why does it matter?
Slide & Tighten is Philmac's unique fitting technology that means no pipe preparation is needed and no force is required to push the pipe past the seal. You simply insert the pipe into the fitting until you feel the stop, then tighten the nut. It's fast, easy, and you can even do it under live conditions without special tools.
Can I install this without special tools?
Yes. The 3G Metric coupling comes pre-assembled and ready to use — no disassembly needed before installation. No special tools are required, just hand-tighten the nut after inserting the pipe.
What happens if I need to take it apart later?
Disassembly is straightforward. Simply back off the nut and the collet releases easily. Because the collet and seal are retained in the body of the fitting, there's no risk of losing components in the trench.
What's it made from and how long will it last?
The 3G Metric is manufactured from advanced thermoplastic materials with outstanding impact, UV, chemical and corrosion resistance. It's non-toxic, taint-free, and rated to 1600 kpa (PN16). It has a 50 year+ design life, so it's built to last even in tough conditions.
Is it approved for drinking water systems?
Yes. The 3G Metric is WaterMark approved and has WSAA appraisal.
