IPEX Inc. designs and manufactures one of the world´s most diverse lines of integrated thermoplastic piping systems—pipe, valves, fittings, auxiliary components and tools—all engineered from the ground up to handle the full range of today´s municipal, industrial, commercial and residential applications. More than 50 years´ experience in plastics combined with progressive manufacturing technologies, efficient distribution centers and coast-to-coast customer support has made the IPEX name synonymous with quality, innovation and performance.
Roughly half of the world's polyvinyl chloride resin manufactured annually is used for producing pipes for municipal and industrial applications.
Philmac fittings come pre-assembled and ready to use so there is no need to disassemble the fitting or prepare the pipe. No solvent cementing or special tools are needed. Simply insert the pipe into the fitting until you feel the first point of resistance and then tighten the nut. Visual stops and gradually increasing mechanical resistance as the nut is turned prevents over-tightening.
Philmac fittings compact size makes installation easy in confined spaces, and Philmac 3G fittings are engineered to avoid pipe twist during installation, reducing the risk of untightening previously-installed joints – a constant risk with brass fittings.
IPEX cements are formulated to the highest standards in the industry and manufactured with the strictest quality control. Choosing the correct solvent cement is vital to the performance of your IPEX integrated piping system. At Van-Kel, we offer a wide range of IPEX brand cements, primers and applicators, designed to ensure the integrity of your application.
