These Fittings are joined quickly and easily by hand and offer the advantage
of being removable and reusable.
In order for PP mechanical compression fittings to comply with the requirements of AS/NZS 4129, it is normally considered necessary to provide reinforcement to female threads larger than 25mm. This reinforcement should also be corrosion resistant and is normally provided in the form of a stainless steel ring.
Threaded outlets larger than 50mm should be avoided.
The use of PTFE (Teflon) tape is solely recommended for all fittings with plastics
threads.
Quality Certifications
These fittings are manufactured under a certified quality system, ISO 9001:2008, which has been approved by CCC and lQNet.
The complete range of mechanical compression fittings have been tested and approved by leading certification agencies, they have Australian Watermark approval and comply with AS/NZS 4129:2008 and NATA accredited Australian Water Quality Centre as well as internationally recognised DVGW (D), KIWA (NL), WRAS (GB), SlI (IL), BV (AUS) and many others worldwide.
Furthermore, the fittings are endorsed with product certifications on all related standards such as ISO 14236, EN 12201 & DIN 8076.
Projected Life Expectancy
Based on the information available and the successful performance under the nominated test procedures, the design life expectancy is rated at 50 years before replacement or major repair.
This rating is only a general guide to life expectancy and may increase or decrease
depending on the quality of the installation, system operation and environment conditions as well as other geographical and site specific factors.
Operating Temperature
The fittings are not to be used in hot water although they withstand the same temperature as the polyethylene pipe itself.
The fittings withstand sub zero temperatures.
The pressure rating has to be adjusted as shown in the figure below, if the fittings are to be used in higher temperature.
The range of metric compression fittings are suitable for high pressure conveyance of water, irrigation, gaseous fuels, compressed air, chemical solutions and slurries.
Range: 16mm up to 110mm
Pressure Rating:
16 bar at 20°C for fittings from 20mm up to 63mmØ
12.5 bar at 20°C for fittings from 75mm up to 110mmØ
