Benefits of STRAUB couplings<br />
1. Universal use<br />
• Suitable for any pipe material<br />
• Compatible with any traditional jointing system<br />
• Joins pipes of the same or dissimilar materials<br />
• Leakproof joint for liquids, gas and for solids<br />
• Quick and simple repairs of damaged pipes without service interruptions<br />
• Installation and sealing principle consistent troughout the range<br />
• Pull-out resistant or axially <strong>flex</strong>ible available<br />
2. Economical<br />
• Pre-assembled design ensures simple and rapid installation<br />
• For use on plain-end pipes without the need for costly pipe end preparation<br />
• Simply cut pipes to length, center coupling and tighten bolts<br />
• Suitable for thick or thin wall pipes (see page 54)<br />
• No expensive installation tools required<br />
3. Reliable<br />
• Stress-free, <strong>flex</strong>ible pipe joint<br />
• Compensates axial movement and angular deflection<br />
• Pressure-resistant and leak-proof even with inaccurate pipe assembly<br />
• Dampens water-hammer, vibration and structure-borne noise<br />
4. Easy handling<br />
• Detachable and reusable<br />
• Maintenance-free and trouble-free<br />
• No time-consuming alignment and fitting work<br />
• Easy installation technology<br />
• No heat or fire hazard: can be fitted in fire risk or confined spaces without special<br />
equipment<br />
5. Durable<br />
• Progressive sealing effect<br />
• Progressive anchoring effect<br />
• Corrosion resistant and temperature resistant<br />
• Good resistance to chemicals<br />
• Long service life<br />
6. Space-saving<br />
• Compact design for space-saving installation of pipes<br />
• Allows the use of low profile pipe insulation<br />
• Coupling can be rotated to provide easy access for installation<br />
• Low weight<br />
