The Buteline Plumbing System was designed and developed in New Zealand 25 years ago using Polybutene-1 (PB) Pipes and Thermo-set Resin Fittings coupled together by an ingenious method using annealed Aluminium clamping rings.

Most Architects and Designers would be aware of the adage “form follows function” and the Buteline fittings this certainly holds true. Mr David Picton, Buteline Founding Director and Inventor of the Buteline Plumbing System aimed for Engineering Perfection and Simplicity of use, for the Tradesmen using these products.

The Polybutene-1 (PB) pipes are manufactured to a joint Australian and New Zealand Standard AS/NZS 2642 and are suitable for the Reticulation of Hot and Cold “Potable” (drinking quality) water for Buildings in Australia and New Zealand.

The fittings have been designed with an annealed aluminium clamping ring factory fitted in such a way that it places no stress on the final jointing to ensure both quality control of the product and maximum ease of use for the tradesmen making the connection simply by inserting the Polybutene-1 (PB) pipe fully into the rebated collar on the fitting, then with the Patented Buteline Clamping tool, line up 2mm from each edge of the collar and clamp tight.

As the tool clamps onto the aluminium collar, it “work hardens” the section within the jaws of the tool to a 6 tonne pressure making a water-tight joint and leaving a section of the aluminium collar on both sides still in the annealed state and therefore placing no stress on the Polybutene-1 (PB) pipe or the Buteline fitting.

The Buteline Plumbing System complies with B2/AS1 for 50 years Durability and G12/AS1 for Hot and Cold Water Reticulation as “Acceptable Solutions” of the Approved Documents of the New Zealand Building Code and have the Department of Building and Housing “Code mark” Accreditation Certificate #94/005A which means the Buteline Plumbing System can be used in any Building in New Zealand and the Territorial Authorities (Councils) must issue a Code Compliance Certificate.
