JOINER SOCKET BSP 1 1/2" (40mm) PHILMAC 90435500 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.

This 1 1/2" (40mm) joiner socket is designed to connect two lengths of rural poly pipe together end-to-end using a solvent weld method. Clean both the pipe end and socket interior with a dry cloth, apply solvent cement to both surfaces, and push the pipe firmly into the socket with a slight twisting motion until fully seated. Hold in place for 10-15 seconds and allow the joint to cure for at least 2 hours before pressurising the system. Ensure the pipe is cut square and burrs are removed for a proper seal. Tips: Use this solvent weld fitting for permanent, pressure-rated joints in your rural water system — it's ideal for fixed installations where disconnection isn't needed. Check that your poly pipe is 40mm nominal diameter (1 1/2" imperial size) before purchase, as rural fittings use imperial sizing that doesn't match metric measurements. Store solvent cement in a cool place and work in well-ventilated conditions, applying it only to clean, dry surfaces for the strongest bond.
