Pipe Couplings (A/Asia) Pty Ltd was founded by its present owners and operated since 1972 to 2012 in the site at 8 Hilly St Mortlake Sydney NSW 2137 Australia. The company moved premises in March 2012 to 16 Britton St Smithfield Sydney NSW 2164 Australia.

The company, up until 1988 was mainly involved with the development and importing of pipes and fittings from Europe and South East Asia. Product lines ranged from high pressure isolation joints and valves for oil fields (both onshore and offshore) and pipe work for most of the major gas and oil works constructed in Australia since 1972. In addition our company is the major supplier in Australia of gas meter valves, risers and fittings covering New South Wales, Victoria, South Australia and Queensland. The activities of the company principally targeted the public utilities and
major oil and gas companies

In 1988 the Company commenced to manufacture in Australia components for the gas and water industries. Work was carried out in close liaison with relevant authorities to develop and produce a large range of components which were of a particular need and not available in Australia.

A list of these components includes in part:

• Isolation joints and bushes;
• High pressure valves for mainline and distribution systems;
• Polyethylene Ball Valves;
• Supporting brackets for gas meters;
• Special unions from plastic pipe to metal fittings;
• Mains stop cocks in both thermoplastic and metal;
• A range of plastic welding and electro fusion machines;
• PE Gas & Water Pipe

Many of the items listed above have been developed entirely by PCA. And are covered by relevant patents or design registrations.

The in-house large scale tool & product making facility of PCA includes:

• CAD Cam design centre;
• Automatic computerized lathes & milling machines;
• CAD-CAM component machinery;
• Multi spindle machine centres;
• Computerised injection moulding machinery (horizontal & vertical);
• Computerized extrusion machinery;
• Induction process machinery;
• + much more

This makes PCA virtually self-sufficient in their production line needs and allows in-house quality assurance to be effectively maintained.
