Universal 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, steel, polyethylene and PEX).

Large Seal

The large seal in Philmac UTC® is particularly suited to Out-of-Round and Pitted pipes Slide & Tighten™ technology: The Philmac UTC® incorporates all the benefits of Philmac’s Slide & Tighten™ technology. Simply 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 force.

No special tools are required and the Philmac UTC® is supplied ready to use.

Easy 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 resistance.

No Loose Components

The Philmac UTC® is fully integrated with no loose components. 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 nut.
