Philmac Universal Transition

Philmac Universal Transition Fittings provide a truly versatile solution for connecting a wide range of pipe materials within cold water systems. Manufactured to the highest standards, these WRAS-approved fittings are designed to join PVC, copper, ABS, stainless steel, lead, polyethylene, and galvanised iron without the need for pipe modification or specialist tools. Constructed from robust and corrosion-resistant materials, Philmac’s Universal Transition range is ideal for retrofitting, repairs, and mixed-material networks—offering a secure and watertight connection under working pressures of up to 12 bar.

• Retrofit & Upgrade Projects: Ideal for replacing or adapting old installations using dissimilar pipe materials.
• Water Service Connections: Used in residential and commercial systems to ensure leak-free joins between copper, PVC, or PE pipes.
• Civil Infrastructure & Utilities: Suitable for underground and above-ground water supply networks requiring mixed material compatibility.
• Maintenance & Emergency Repairs: Provides fast, reliable jointing when replacing sections of aged or incompatible pipework.

• Prepare the Pipe

Cut the pipe square and remove any burrs.
Ensure the pipe surface is clean and dry; no chamfering required.

• Insert Pipe

Push the pipe into the fitting until the first point of resistance.
The fitting automatically adjusts to grip and seal on the pipe material.

• Tighten

Hand-tighten the nut, then complete tightening using a strap wrench.
No special tooling or insert is needed for most compatible materials.

• Final Checks

Verify the connection is fully seated and aligned.
Conduct a pressure test to confirm leak-free performance before backfilling or commissioning.
