Performance data
Due to the high material quality used, our couplings are suitable for laying pipes both on and in the ground! Their expected service life is 100 years! Additional protective measures may be required for sealing collars made of stainless steel grade V2A (1.4301) if they are laid in filled soil, such as in industrial landfills, rubble dumps of mines and in cases where the soil or groundwater contain high levels of chloride. For these applications, sealing collars with steel components of grade V4A (1.4404) should be used.
In cases of doubt, please contact our sales department.
