Krausz USA HYMAX GRIP 16-inch
The HYMAX GRIP 16-inch restraint coupling from Krausz USA features only four top-facing bolts for installers to tighten and a stab-fit, one-piece design. The top-facing bolts eliminate underdigging for space to crawl under the pipe to tighten bolts, while the stab-fit, one-piece design allows for easier and faster installation, eliminating problems such as losing bolts in the mud. Capable of gripping and connecting pipes with 70 tons of power, the GRIP chain offers circular restraint around the pipe using a radial closing mechanism that holds pipes tightly in place during installation, allowing full control over the gap between pipes. The coupling can absorb post-installation dynamic pipe deflection of up to 4 degrees on each end, reducing the risk of damage and cracking due to ground shifts and temperature changes, and saving resources on future pipe repairs. 855-457-2879; www.krauszusa.com.
