PRIMOFIT for potable water
A range of couplings for
connecting and repair of
water service pipes. The
EPDM seals are suitable
for use with potable water.
The end-load couplings are
for use on galvanised steel
pipes.
The non end-load
couplings may be used for
connecting and repair of all
rigid pipe materials.
We recommend that all
fittings installed below
ground should be protected
from corrosion by wrapping
with bitumastic tape.
