THE NEW STANDARD IN PE PIPE CONNECTIONS

Introducing Philmac PUSH: Engineered for Certainty. Built to Fit Fast. 

Across Australia, plumbers, irrigators and contractors are under increasing pressure to deliver more in less time. With labour shortages, tighter project schedules and growing demand for reliable infrastructure, every installation choice matters. That’s why Philmac has developed a new generation of connection technology designed specifically for today’s jobsite realities: Philmac PUSH.  

Combining the trusted engineering heritage of Philmac with advanced push-fit technology, Philmac PUSH delivers a faster, simpler and more intuitive way to connect polyethylene (PE) pipe. The result is a fitting system that helps reduce installation time without compromising the reliability and performance professionals expect from one of Australia’s most trusted names in water management solutions.  

Push. Done. 

At the heart of the Philmac PUSH range is a straightforward philosophy: simplify the connection process while maintaining confidence in every joint. Traditional installation methods often require tightening, pipe preparation, specialised tools or multiple installation steps. Philmac PUSH eliminates much of this complexity through a tool-free push-fit design that allows installers to simply cut the pipe square and push it into the fitting until positive engagement is achieved.  

Engineered entry geometry, precision sealing technology and an integrated gripping system work together to create a secure mechanical grip and watertight seal. Installers receive clear tactile feedback when the pipe is fully home, providing confidence that the connection has been completed correctly.  

The simplicity of the system translates directly into increased productivity on site. Whether working on irrigation systems, plumbing installations, agricultural infrastructure or civil projects, crews can complete connections faster, reduce manual effort and maintain consistency across large-scale installations.  

Designed for Australian Conditions 

Like every Philmac innovation, Philmac PUSH has been developed with Australian conditions in mind. Manufactured using advanced engineering polymers that provide excellent impact, corrosion and UV resistance, the range is built to withstand the challenges of both above-ground and buried installations.  

Extensive durability testing played a critical role in the product’s development. Prior to launch, Philmac PUSH underwent rigorous validation within Philmac Adelaide testing facilities, where fittings were subjected to pressure, fatigue and performance testing beyond normal field conditions.  

The range was also evaluated across more than 150 field test sites, exposing the fittings to real-world Australian environments and installation practices. From civil infrastructure projects to irrigation and agricultural applications, the testing program confirmed the durability, sealing integrity and long-term performance of the system.  

Proven Performance. Trusted Heritage. 

Philmac reputation has been built on nearly a century of engineering expertise and innovation. Philmac PUSH draws on this legacy, incorporating proven sealing principles, high-performance materials and decades of knowledge gained through the development of leading compression fitting technologies.  

The range is WaterMark certified, providing confidence that it meets the requirements of the Plumbing Code of Australia and is suitable for regulated plumbing applications nationwide.  

Importantly, the system has been designed for flexibility. Philmac PUSH fittings can be disassembled and reassembled when alignment adjustments are required, helping reduce waste and saving valuable time during installation.  

Built for the Future of PE Connections 

As PE pipeline systems continue to grow across plumbing, irrigation, agriculture and infrastructure projects, installers are looking for solutions that deliver both efficiency and confidence. Philmac PUSH answers that demand with a complete fitting system engineered to streamline workflows, reduce installation complexity and provide dependable long-term performance.  

It is already earning strong feedback from field testers and industry professionals, who highlight its ease of use, reliability and time-saving benefits on site.  

For professionals seeking a smarter way to connect PE pipe, the message is simple:
