Philmac PP Threaded Fittings

Philmac PP Threaded Fittings offer a durable, corrosion-resistant solution for creating secure BSP-threaded connections in cold water systems. Manufactured from high-quality polypropylene, these fittings are lead-free, lightweight, and designed to perform in a wide range of applications. With a maximum working pressure of up to 16 bar (at 20°C) for fittings up to 2", they are an ideal choice for installations requiring chemical resistance, reliability, and long service life in demanding environments.

• Cold Water Distribution: Suitable for domestic, commercial, and light industrial systems using BSP-threaded components.
• Agricultural and Irrigation Systems: Ideal for hose connections, tank outlets, and field pipework installations exposed to the elements.
• Corrosive Environments: Effective in areas where metal fittings would degrade, such as coastal or chemical-rich locations.
• General Plumbing and Utilities: Widely used for connecting pumps, valves, and pipework in non-potable water supply networks.

• Material: High-grade polypropylene (PP)
• Thread Type: BSPT (British Standard Pipe Tapered)
• Pressure Rating: Up to 16 bar at 20°C (for fittings up to 2")
• Temperature Range: 0°C to 40°C (cold water only)
• Lead-Free: Suitable for potable and non-potable water systems
• Corrosion Resistance: Excellent chemical and environmental resistance
• Product Range Includes:
• Threaded couplers
• Tees and elbows
• Nipples, adaptors, and end caps
• Standards Compliance: Manufactured to BSP standards for secure thread compatibility

• Preparation

Clean the threads on both male and female components.
Apply PTFE tape to male threads to ensure a watertight seal—avoid sealing pastes which may degrade plastics.

• Assembly

Thread the fitting onto the male component by hand.
Use a strap wrench to fully tighten without damaging the fitting—avoid overtightening.

• Connection to Pipe Systems

Suitable for use with compression fittings, valves, and adapters within MDPE or other plastic piping networks.

• Testing & Commissioning

Pressurise the system gradually and inspect for leaks.
Recheck connections after testing to ensure continued integrity under operating pressure.
