PUSH. Done.

Features and Benefits

  • Low insertion force

    Designed to significantly reduce the effort required to connect PE pipe, making installation quicker and less physically demanding. This is particularly beneficial when working in confined spaces, repetitive installations or large-scale projects where installer fatigue can impact productivity.

  • No pipe preparation required

    Eliminates the need for pipe chamfering or additional preparation steps prior to installation. This reduces overall installation time, reduces the need for special equipment, minimises the potential for preparation errors and allows installers to complete connections more efficiently on site.

  • Clear visual and tactile engagement stop

    Incorporates a defined internal stop that provides both visual and physical confirmation when the pipe is fully inserted. This removes uncertainty during installation and helps ensure that connections are completed correctly the first time.

  • No special equipment required

    Fittings can be easily taken apart with a standard wrench. Components come apart, making disassembly easy.

  • Compact and robust design

    Compact form factor allows installation in tight spaces, while durable construction materials provide resistance to impact, corrosion and environmental conditions. Suitable for demanding on-site environments across civil, industrial and infrastructure applications.

  • Suitable for multiple applications

    Designed to perform consistently across a range of PE pipe systems, including plumbing, irrigation, civil infrastructure and industrial applications. Enables standardisation of fittings across projects, simplifying stock management and installation processes.

  • Australian made

    With Philmac PUSH, a new benchmark has been set in connection technology. Installation speed, long-term reliability and Australian made toughness combine into a single fitting that embodies everything installers have been asking for.
