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
Two-phase sealing sockets for
use with cable protection pipes
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.
