Out in the paddocks, deep in the mines, pipes take a heap of knocks. Farmers, plumbers, miners and industrial workers need strong, secure poly pipe networks that deliver on their promises. It’s tricky, though.
You need the right compression fittings, for the right poly pipes, at the right time, in the right place. On top of all those on-site challenges, of course. Pipes can:
- Rot and burst after prolonged UV exposure.
- Break their connections under high pressure.
- Corrode in contact with chemicals and UV rays.
- Need different fittings for rural, metric and copper.
In complex systems, you may have to replace the whole network when things go wrong, rather than just the fittings. Where can you find compression fittings that perform at peak level over the long term?
