Two-phase sealing sockets for use with cable protection pipes

Flanges and fittings from Euroflansch EUROFLANSCH

VOGELSANG, Germany, has developed a special joining element for the pressure tight joining of plastic cable protection pipes. The factory-installed Vogelsang special two-phase sealing ring without support ring allows a problem-free change of the profile sealing ring, in case of possible damage. The inserted lip has the function of a wiper, in order to wipe off the surplus of lubricant, required for the joining of the pipes. It also functions as a compression lip, to prevent the sealing ring from being pushed out after inserting the pipe extremity into the supporting device. The sealing socket ensures tightness and high working safety due to the multiple sealing element. The special design of the top of the lip prevents the penetration of foreign bodies like sand

between sealing surface and profile sealing ring.

Due to the improved construction of the profile sealing ring, only low insertion force is required for the joining of the cable protection pipes. For PVC-U cable protection pipes, the Vogelsang sealing socket system with factory installed special two-phase sealing ring meets the requirements of DIN 16873/75 – PVC-U cable protection pipes; for PE-HD cable protection pipes it meets the requirements of DIN 16876 (pressure tight up to 0.5 bar), and for PP cable protection pipes, DIN V 16878.

The system also meets the requirements of the Deutsche Telekom standard.
