There’s been launched a new and next generation UltraGrip by UK producer Viking Johnson.
Carrier
•Accommodates high tolerance of pipe outside diameter – up to 44mm.
•Interlocking “spring” effect ensures gasket & grippers retract so product slips over top tolerance pipe without interference
Progressive Gripping Mechanism
•Increases its end load restraint capability as the internal pressure in the pipe increases.
•One gripper system suits all recommended pipe materials.
•Full end load resistance at full angular deflection.
•Gripping products can be converted to a flexible one to permit axial movement by removing grippers
Unique UltraGrip Sealing Gasket
•Specially profiled gasket (patent pending) ensures full seal even on scored and corroded pipes.
•Available in Nitrile for gas and EPDM materials approved by WRAS, KTW, and DVGW for potable water applications.
•The enhanced gasket has been tested on “knurled and grooved pipe”, as detailed in “Specification for Methods of Repairing Leaking Ferrous Gas Mains Part 4; Pipe Repair Clamps, Split Collars and Under Pressure Branch Connections (GIS/LC8-4)”, to verify the sealing capability on severely corroded and pitted pipe in low pressure gas applications.
Captive Bolt
•Captive bolt heads allow use of single spanner to install.
•Reversible orientation in couplings and reducing couplings to accommodate site conditions.
•Bolt torque dependant on bolt size and applies to all pipe materials within same coupling.
•Stainless steel bolts and nuts coated to prevent galling.
