Yes, there are two types of  Dual Containment Hose: Standard and Detect Leak.

The ID of the Dual Containment Hose is 6mm-50mm. Allmach has exclusive rights to these sizes.

The product is supplied on drums of 450 – 500 metres. However, we can supply lengths of up to 700 metres. Common lengths of 150, 200, 250 metres are readily available, and each coil is tested for electric conductivity and certified before delivery.

The product comes with various material inners such as PVC, LDPE and PTFE to cover resistance of most common chemicals used in dosing such as Sodium Hypochlorite, Ferric and Caustic. Full chemical details are always requested including concentrations to ensure that the product is fully fit for purpose. Full chemical resistance charts are available on request.

No, using PF-Detect eliminates the need for catch-pots because an audible and visual alarm will be triggered in the unlikely event of a leak. The system can also be wired into the main control PLC and set to automatically shut off the pump, dramatically reducing any impact on the environment due to leaking chemicals.

Allmach’s delivery is flexible. Typically, 7 a.m. is our first drop, providing the order is placed 3-4 working hours in advance.

The restocking fee for returned goods is 15%.

Yes, we accept returns for credit providing a return authorisation has been processed in advance and the goods are in a resaleable condition. Please contact us by email.

Allmach is a piping wholesaler, therefore we do not offer installation. However, we have plenty of resellers Australia-wide who can assist you with your supply & install needs. Contact us for more details about installers.

Yes, we can organise for your pipe to be cut to order. However, we only sell the pipe as complete lengths so it will incur a cutting fee.

Yes, SurePress fittings have two indicators. One coloured ring which is destroyed and falls away once the press cycle is complete, and a ‘Leak path O-ring’ which will allow a slight leakage of fluid/gas until the press cycle is complete.

Yes, we have a large range of tooling available for sale or hire. Our hire fleet is constantly being upgraded and by mid-2021 all our press tooling will have data logging and Bluetooth connectivity to allow the contractors to download all press data for their projects.

SurePress Stainless & Carbon steel tube can be cut with a manual wheel cutter. Please speak with our team to ensure you have the correct wheel option. We also have options for a powered cutter for larger sizes. Contact us to us for options.

As the Surepress system is 10 times faster to install than traditional copper pipes and requires no threading, hemping or gluing, it is much more economical to install. Press fitted pipe joints are fast, easy and risk-free. The result of the operation is “definitive” since it is no longer possible to separate the components and return them to the original condition.

Surepress O-rings are fire rated and have passed the RINA fire test. They are
made of black EPDM and are resistant to ageing, heat and chemical additives.

When the fitting is crimped on Surepress carbon steel tube, the red press indicator falls off to show the fitting has been crimped. This safety feature is unique in Australia.

SurePress thin-walled tube has been approved by Activfire for use in fire sprinkler and
hydrant systems because it is made to a high specification and is electroplated which allows for a thinner-walled tube. The tube would be easier to handle and cut because of this.

Yes, we have tooling available for both purchase and hire (daily, weekly & monthly). Contact us for more details about tooling.

Yes. We provide training in-house and onsite upon request, free of charge. Contact us for more details.

Sch-80 PVC is resistant to a variety of chemicals and can handle most acids, oxidants, salts, bases, etc. It is lightweight, easy to handle and install. Unlike metals, PVC is corrosion resistant and will not rust.

Sch-80 PVC pipe & fittings are manufactured using additives to provide UV stabilization. When exposed to direct sunlight, PVC will eventually show discolouration over a period of time. The discolouration will not compromise the system and is cosmetic in nature and will only occur where there is direct exposure to UV radiation.

The pressure rating of Sch-80 varies and is size-dependent. Typical ratings are 60-16bar for sizes 3/8-12″. These ratings are de-rated the higher the operating temperature. The operating temperature range is 0-60°C.

Sch-80 pipe has a thicker wall than that of Sch-40 and is primarily used in harsher environments than Sch-40. The thicker wall can handle higher pressure applications and is suitable for heavy industrial applications.
