2 48 AM2 Universal TRANSITION COUPLINGP hilmac, the global leader in the design and manufacture of plastic compression fittings, has developed a unique range of mechanical compression fittings that provide the ultimate in pipe Connection modification the same fitting connects to a variety of materials including PVC, copper, galvanized iron, ABS, lead, stainless steel, polyethylene and size fitting covers a range of pipe diameters providing a Universal solution. Providing a seal on out-of-round and pitted pipes is another aspect of the Universal winning an Australian Design Award in 1999 for innovation in product development, the UTC has been embraced by water utilities right around the world, including the UK, Europe, Middle East, North America and Design: Through its wide tolerance, the Philmac UTC is designed to accommodate a range of different diameters on most pipe material (including PVC, copper, galvanized iron, ABS, lead, stainless steel, polyethylene and PEX).

3 Large Seal: The large seal in Philmac UTC is particularly suited to Out-of-Round and Pitted & Tighten technology: The Philmac UTC incorporates all the benefits of Philmac s Slide & Tighten witness mark the pipe against the flange on the fitting, and then insert the pipe to the correct depth. The nut can then be tightened using a wrench. The UTC is fully installed when the nut can no longer be tightened with reasonable special tools are required and the Philmac UTC is supplied ready to Disassembly: The design of the UTC means that once the nut is backed off, the pipe can easily be removed from the fitting. Dynamic Sealing Method: The mechanical advantage of the nut thread compresses the seal into position, eliminating resistance when inserting the pipe into the fitting, so there is no risk of seal distortion or displacement.* Pipes at the top end of the fitting tolerance may incur minimum Loose Components: The Philmac UTC is fully integrated with no loose components.

4 There is no need for individual assembly of a split ring, sealing ring or nut. All that is required is the insertion of the pipe and tightening of the : The Philmac UTC holds a number of potable water approvals WRAS (UK) for above and below ground use; WSAA and WaterMark (Australia); ACS (France); DTC (Denmark), CSA (Canada) and NSF (USA). The fittings are also manufactured to the highest standards in accordance with the company s ISO 9001:2000 Quality Endorsed (insulating) fittingUTC fittings are insulating and are a Dielectric fitting for use betweendis-similar metals. Made from advanced thermoplastic materials: The Philmac UTC is manufactured from lightweight high performance thermoplastic materials with outstanding impact, UV, chemical and corrosion resistance. The UTC end contains hard stainless steel grippers which provide superior end load to Bar (180psi): The Philmac UTC is pressure rated to bar (180psi) at 23 C (73 F) to meet the needs of high pressure year + design life: Built to withstand the toughest conditions to ensure longevity and durability, Philmac UTC has a 50 year+ design life at 23 C (73 F).

5 The Philmac UTC range is comprehensive: Straight and reducing joiners, elbows and male adaptors, in both transition (PE to UTC ) and double ended versions (UTC to UTC ) ranging from 15mm to 61mmINTRODUCTIONBENEFITSUNIVERSAL TRANSITION COUPLING TECHNICAL MANUAL 3 FAMILY OF FITTINGS - A COMPREHENSIVE RANGER epair work UTC is used extensively by water companies, plumbers and civil contractors for repair work.
