Philmac Joiner 3g Metric End Connector 32mm x 1 1/4" FBSP
Philmac 3G Metric Female End Connector PE x FI BSP, 32mm x 1 1/4", for connecting metric PE pipe to a female BSP thread. Philmac 3G Metric is a complete range of mechanical fittings designed to make connections simple when joining metric PE pipes.
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.
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.
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.
High performance
Made from advanced thermoplastic materials:
3G Metric is manufactured from lightweight high performance thermoplastic materials with outstanding impact, UV, chemical and corrosion resistance.
The material is non-toxic and taint-free.
Rated to 1600 kpa:
3G Metric is pressure rated to 1600 kpa (PN16) to meet the needs of high pressure systems.
50 year+ design life:
Built to withstand the toughest conditions to ensure longevity and durability, 3G Metric has a 50 year+ design life.
Fitting bodies are polypropylene; the nut and collet are acetal; seal rings are nitrile rubber.
StandardsMark and WaterMark approved; WSAA appraisal. Australian Made.
Philmac recommends the use of PTFE tape on BSP threads to ensure a positive seal.
Common Questions
What is this fitting used for?
It is a Philmac 3G Metric Female End Connector (PE x FI BSP) that connects 32mm metric PE pipe to a 1 1/4" female BSP thread.
How do I install it?
Cut the PE pipe cleanly and square; no chamfering or lubrication is required. Push the pipe straight into the pre-assembled fitting until the internal pipe stop is reached, then tighten the nut until it meets the fitting body flange. For fittings from 32mm to 63mm, a wrench or multi-grips may be required to tighten the nut to the flange. Philmac recommends the use of PTFE tape on BSP threads to ensure a positive seal.
What pressure rating and approvals does it have?
3G Metric is pressure rated to 1600 kpa (PN16). It is StandardsMark and WaterMark approved and has WSAA appraisal.
What is it made from?
