Hi Adam, thanks for the feedback. The aim of these videos is to simply provide the key steps on installation for those who are not familiar with the products. While some installations may be easier in practice, and some harder, we hope that this video illustrates what you need to do to securely connect rural class B poly pipe using the Philmac range of Australian made rural compression fittings.
Assemble the fitting and tighten both nuts as far as you can, and then remove the nuts and collars, leaving the inserts locked in place. Then measure the distance from one pipe stop/shoulder on one insert, to the pipe stop/shoulder on the other. That's the amount of pipe you need to remove to install the fitting, but best to leave yourself an extra couple or few millimetres, better to leave the pipe/s too long than too short.
I find using a heatgun if you have power or a thermos of hot water to make the pipe malleable and then using pliers to pull it. Keep in mind of course, this destroys the insert unless you're really gentle with it..
Gavin Fielke looks like a metropolitan fitting to me. In my experience a rural fitting is usually in a hole full of mud and the pipe is still pissing out at full pressure 😅
Bullshit! I have two pipes which are underground that need joining, how on Earth do I just pull one pipe up to make the joint when both ends have 30m of dirt on top of them? You even intimate that this is an underground fix by having a patch of dirt in the video. How about show a proper, in the field, fix of a ruptured pipe that needs re joining.
If you cut youself short you'll have to use two. just measure the length of the core of the joiner minus how far the inserts go in and account for the length of section of the inserts that don't mate with your pipe or the core. Cut it at the correct length and manhandle it a bit.
Terrible guide.First a little lubricant on the red end saves damaging the O ring ,second rubbing a little soap or other lube on the thread meams it will pull up much tighter an less inclined to rotate with the collar which ultimately ends up with a much looser grip on the poly .Before I started using this trick i had regular blow offs despite using LOTS of force on the wrench to tighten them.(And no leaks from damaged O rings )

Where do you buy the coupling/fitting?
Very good and funny videos bring a great sense of entertainment!
This is one of best and it has helped me a lot
Thank you very much for this helpful video
Can they be used with high water pressure in the garden
Stupid question... Is there an elbow connector version?
What length to cut, if one wants to fix a leak with a single joiner ?
I did it with 3mm cut of the leaky section.

So how do you pull out the insert from the poly pipe? I have not found an easy way. Any ideas how to make this easier? Thanks in advance.

Warm with a torch
Mesej yang jelas, struktur yang jelas, mudah difahami, terima kasih
Work with hdpe?
I needed this. Thanks!
Is available in India
you make it look so easy
Hi how long should this connection last?
what time is it?
@@squirt12?
JOINTER KAHA MILEGHA
They don't make this type of fitting in 2024 and using what you get now during hot weather the pipe expands so it will shrink in cold causing leaks.
It's identical ?
Hot water used possibil
How much
LOL. Farmers would never have known it was a rural fitting if it wasn't filmed over a bucket of dirt.

I thought it can't use in a rubber hose..
I can learn directly
They are not pipe wrenches, they are water pump pliers.
share the website details
Thank you very mich
New video Please
I was selling lots ❤

you need to go buy yourself a shovel and pick axe capt. obvious.
Yeah. . . . . . . cause the pipe just magically pulls through the ground like that. NOT. Might as well have done it on a counter top.
