Here’s why choosing Philmac fittings is especially important in the Summer months
Philmac fittings play a direct role in irrigation, water management and plumbing projects, which are especially important during the hot and dry months.
Choose Philmac Rural fittings if you need to connect to standard Australian Rural B Class poly pipe used primarily in rural applications, while Philmac Metric fittings are better suited for connecting to metric-sized poly pipes, typically used in higher pressure situations or where precise measurements are needed. Both are interchangeable in terms of their body design, allowing for flexibility depending on your pipe type. Because the pipes have different wall thickness they need fittings that seal differently.
Designed for lower pressure applications like gravity feed and typical rural irrigation, often using older style poly pipes. Measured by inside diameter. Rural pipe has a thin wall so needs a barb inside the pipe to help with giving it a tight seal.
Designed for higher pressure scheme/mains water supply applications and use. Metric-sized poly pipes measured by outside diameter and generally considered more precise. Metric pipe is rigid hard pipe, so is sealed with an o-ring around the outside of the pipe.
