Why is the Philmac Rural insert easier to install into the pipe than other brands?
The Rural insert has been designed with a taper. This allows the installer to easily locate and place it into the Rural pipe. The insert can be placed easily into the pipe up until the last one or two barbs are showing. A blunt object can then be used to tap the insert all the way into the pipe. A tapered insert is much better than a square shaped insert as there is less risk in splitting the pipe during installation.
