The Tuf-Lok ring grip pipe couplings are
rugged, heavy-duty self-aligning and self-
grounded pipe couplings that are ideal for
almost any application where pipe ends
need to be connected.
Tuf-Lok pipe couplings install quickly and
easily, reducing installation costs,
while reinstallation is also
fast and easy. This
makes them ideal
for applications where assembly and
disassembly are required. In addition,
with the Tuf-Lok ring grip pipe couplings,
the pipe ends do not require machining
or grooving and never become marred
or damaged when making a connection.
Pipeline integrity and re-use of the pipe is
never compromised.
These ring grip pipe couplings are
very rugged and have an extremely
high end pull capability. This
toughness is important
for many applications,
including those with high
dynamic loads or applic-
ations where pipeline
integrity is extremely
important.
Even vibration
and excessive pipe
movement can be
accommodated by the
Tuf-Lok pipe coupling.
A special design feature
built into the gasket of
the Tuf-Lok pipe couplings allows them
to accommodate both high pressure
and full vacuum pressure conditions.
Even high external pressure conditions
are accommodated, so the Tuf-Lok pipe
couplings are fully leakproof from both
outside and inside.
The leakproof connection is maintained
even when the couplings are completely
submerged underwater, a feature not
always achievable with other pipe
couplings.
A special cost saving feature of the Tuf-Lok
ring grip pipe couplings is that they can be
installed on almost any kind of metal pipe
irrespective of the wall thickness. They can
also be used on mild steel, stainless steel,
aluminium and most other thick or thin wall
pipe.
