Philmac PVC Grip Ring

Philmac PVC Grip Ring IPS-OD (ASTM D3035) – Direct Transition from HDPE to PVC

The Philmac PVC Grip Ring IPS-OD (ASTM D3035) allows a compatible Philmac compression fitting used with IPS-OD HDPE/polyethylene pipe to connect directly to compatible PVC pipe. By installing the appropriate PVC grip ring, the fitting can securely grip PVC and create a convenient transition between the two pipe materials.

This is especially useful in livestock watering, rotational grazing, irrigation, and farm water systems where HDPE and PVC piping are used together.

Key Features

HDPE-to-PVC Transition: Helps create a direct connection between compatible HDPE/polyethylene and PVC water lines.

ASTM D3035 IPS-OD System: Designed for compatible Philmac compression fittings used with IPS-OD polyethylene pipe manufactured to ASTM D3035.

PVC Grip Ring: Allows the compatible Philmac fitting to properly grip PVC pipe.

230 PSI Rated: Suitable for compatible water-system applications operating at pressures up to 230 PSI.

NSF 61 Certified: Suitable for potable water applications.

Simplifies Pipe Transitions: Helps reduce the number of additional fittings required when transitioning between HDPE and PVC.

Mechanical Connection: Provides a convenient compression-style connection without gluing the PVC into the Philmac fitting.
