About our FittingsH2ogo supplies as many Australian made products as we can at competitive prices. The information on the top of each product page will tell you if it's Australian made or imported. Rural poly pipe and fittings are a great and reasonably cost effective way to transfer water around farms and other rural properties. The two main types of poly pipe used are Rural and Metric, Rural poly pipe is measured on the inside of the pipe and the fittings have a insert the is fitted into the pipe which is then pushed into the fitting body and the gripper ring pushed up to the fitting and then tighten the nut. Metric poly pipe is measured on the outside of the pipe and the pipe itself is pushed into the fitting body before doing up the nut with the gripper ring. Metric poly pipe is good in sharp rocky ground or where your water pressure is high as Rural poly pipe will only handle pressure to approximately 80 psi ( 550 kpa ) All our Rural poly fittings are designed and made in Australia by Guyco. The only poly fitting where the nut fits over the insert

When tapping insert into pipe use a rubber hammer or a piece of wood held against the insert to protect it.

Slide gripper ring up to fitting body then slide nut over gripper ring and tighten firmly. |
