Plastic pipe couplings
This plastic pipe coupling is suitable for PEL, PEH and PEM pipes and can be used both above and underground. Its impressive list of features includes injection-moulded acetal plastic trust screws with UV stabilizer. Resistant to sunlight, these ensure more reliable, trouble-free operation. For easier maintenance, the PRK can be dismantled and reassembled.
Technical description
Application:
Polyethylene piping MDPE, LDPE and HDPE, PN 6.3 and PN 10.
For PVC pipes with special thrust screw and cone, see Accessories.
PRK-coupling with FPL thrust nut for soft and hard copper pipes and soft steel pipes. A support bush must be used for soft copper and steel pipes. See catalogue leaflet FPL for complete details.
Dimensions:
16 to 63 mm
Special couplings not included in the standard range can be produced by means of reductions.
Max. working pressure:
Same as that appropriate for the piping.
(Coupling max 1.6 MPa = 16 bar).
Max. vacuum:
99% = 750 mm Hg
Temperature:
Max. working temperature: Same as that appropriate for the piping.
Material:
Body: AMETAL® or red brass (allows underground installation).
Thrust screw: Acetal plastic
Thrust screw for dim 63, of AMETAL® with cone of Acetal plastic.
AMETAL® is the dezincification resistant alloy of TA.
Threads:
All bodies have pipe threads, which can be used as pipe connections.
