Advantages
The following outlines the features and benefits of Plasson Compression Fittings
| Features | Benefits |
| Ease of use | Fittings are hand tightened on all rural poly pipe sizes and hand tight plus ½ turn with wrenches on metric pipe 40mm and above. |
| Strong | Plasson compression fittings exceed many of the mechanical requirements specified within the Australia/New Zealand standard. |
| Abrasion and corrosion resistant | PE has high abrasion resistance - the Plasson fitting body encapsulates the PE pipe, typically allowing the transport of abrasive materials. |
| Tough |
Plasson compression fittings are made from a polypropylene copolymer which has high resistance to impact and mechanical damage. |
| UV stable | Plasson compression fitting resin formulations contain Carbon Black to inhibit UV degradation. Carbon Black imparts high UV resistance over long periods in harsh Australian environments. |
| Lightweight | Plasson compression fittings are easy to transport and use in some of the most difficult in-trench, overhead, above and below ground conditions. |
Material Options
Material Options
Chemical Resistance
Plasson compression fittings comprise of a polypropylene copolymer body, NBR O-ring and acetal (POM) split ring. It is important when determining suitability for the transport of fluids containing chemicals that each of these materials are checked for compatibility. Where chemical resistance is not ideal for the split ring or O-ring, Plasson products made from alternative materials can be sourced on request that may be compatible.
Like polyethylene, polypropylene also has very good chemical resistance properties; however, some differences exist, and checks should be made when determining suitability for the transport of chemicals.

Range and Dimensions
Iplex offers a comprehensive selection of Plasson pipe fittings, engineered for secure, leak-free connections in polyethylene (PE) pipe systems. These poly compression fittings are ideal for irrigation, plumbing, and industrial applications, ensuring quick and hassle-free installation without the need for special tools.
The Plasson compression fitting range includes couplings, elbows, tees, reducers, end caps, and mechanical tapping saddles, catering to various pipeline configurations. With sizes ranging from 16mm to 160mm, these PE compression fittings suit small domestic setups through to large-scale agricultural and commercial systems.
For branching connections, Iplex supplies Plasson mechanical tapping saddles, allowing for efficient and secure access points along the pipeline. Featuring an innovative bolt-free and hinged design, these compression pipe fittings make installation faster and more convenient, reducing downtime and labour costs.
Iplex’s Plasson fittings deliver trusted reliability, durability, and ease of use. From PE couplings to threaded couplings, these poly compression fittings are designed to meet the needs of professional installers and DIY users alike, providing strong, long-lasting connections for PE piping systems.
Handling & Storage
Handling & Storage
Plasson fittings are often used above ground in harsh environmental conditions. Therefore there are typically no special protection requirements for handling and storage other than the fittings should not be exposed to impacts and be kept clean and free of debris or contaminants which may interfere with their installation or performance once installed.
Installation & Testing
Installation & Testing
Plasson’s sales catalogue is downloadable at www.plasson.com.au and contains easy to follow, illustrated installation instructions for each fitting type.
The Plasson range is compliant with AS/NZS 4129 which has extensive pressure, mechanical and material test requirements. Internal pressure testing limits are consistent with the requirements of the pipeline.
