ADVANTAGES AND BENEFITS

Quick and easy to install (once technique is mastered).
Time saving when adding up the number of fittings required in an average irrigation installation.
Mul-T-Flo pipe fittings can be re-used.
Do not require ratchet clamps, tools or glue for installation.
Colour coded for quick and easy pipe sizing. The initial sale of the product may take a couple of minutes longer while you demonstrate the technique but over a period of time, once the product is widely used, the colour coding will save time for the store and the customer as the right size fitting will be purchased.
Price competitive. When compared to barbed fittings with clamps, Mul-T-Flo pipe fittings extremely competitive. To convince yourself, you might want to try this comparison in your area.
Do not restrict water flow. Due to the nature of the pipe fitting there is no water restriction as it holds on the outside of the pipe allowing a full flow of water through the fitting.
UV stable / robust thus making the product highly durable.
Ultrasonically welded together (no glue involved in the manufacture process)
Injection moulded out of virgin ABS plastic.
Have been successfully tested to 6-bar pressure. The fittings were not designed to work at 6-bar pressure however we felt that because the pressure spec on LDPE pipe is 2.5-3 bars we wanted to test to twice that spec.
Adjustable. Once the fitting has been installed it can be adjusted, as it is not fixed on the pipe.
Mul-T-Flo pipe fittings are now available in a full range (13mm, 19mm and 25mm) of tees, elbows and straight connectors, male-threaded and female-threaded.
All the working mechanism of the fitting is internal. As the pressure increases so the bite of the fitting on the pipe increases.
Mul-T-Flo has been sold successfully on the international market for the last 12 years.

ANSWERS TO NEGETIVE POINTS:

“The fittings are to hard to install”

• A little more practice.
• The pipe is not made to Australian standards.
• The pipe is not cut straight.

“The fittings are hard to install in small tight places”

• The promotional media specifically illustrates an installation of the fittings in a small tight place in the ground. This is to prove that it is easy to do and just requires a knowledge and understanding of technique.

“The fittings are expensive”

• Simply make the price comparison that you have already done, remembering to add in the price of the ratchet clamps. So far, there is only one store in Australia which is buying ratchet clamps and poly fittings cheaper.
