The QUICK CONNECT® pull-ring makes the acclaimed
Jacob modular pipe system even more economical
for installation. In new plants for animal feed,
pharmaceuticals, chemicals, food, glass,
semiconductors or environmental techno-
logy as well as for upgrading existing
layouts user-friendly system installation
becomes precise and easy due to the
great versatility of mass-produced
pipe components.

Saint-Gobain Pipelines, UK, has launched
a new range of couplings and flange
adaptors designed to simplify and reduce
stockholding for merchants and contractors.
The Ultra NG coupling solution offers one of
the widest ranges of tolerances available.
The range replaces both the Ultra and Maxi
couplings.
Product manager, Mr Richard Morecroft,
explained, “To date, the Maxi has been the
most popular choice in the UK market but
there are some limitations on tolerances
when jointing differing materials at the
same nominal diameter. By virtue of
the very wide tolerance, the Ultra NG is
designed to joint all materials for a given
diameter.
“ With a diameter tolerance up to 30mm,
the Ultra NG reduces stockholding to
just one size for any given nominal
diameter. Compared with other more
complex ranges, where there is a choice
of low or high tolerance products, the
Ultra NG offers a much simpler solution.
Even if you don’t know the precise OD
of the pipe, the Ultra NG is more likely
to fit because of its larger tolerance.
This is particularly useful when jointing
to existing PVC pipework where
circumferential expansion resulting
from internal pressures means precise
diameters cannot be predicted.”
Suitable for ductile and cast iron, steel, PVC
and asbestos cement pipes, the lightweight
UltraLink NG couplings and UltraQuick
NG flange adaptors are pre-assembled for
quick and easy installation.
Available in a range from DN40 to
DN300, the unique dynamic radial
compression gasket sealing process
eliminates post-installation re-tightening.
Offering one of the highest angular
deflections available, they are rated to
16 bar working pressure, and are fully
compliant to BS EN 14525.

Pipelife starts fittings
production in new
Russian factory
Pipelife, Solvay’s affiliate for pipe and
fittings, has started operating a new factory
located 130km southwest of Moscow, in the
middle of one of Europe’s fastest growing
economies. Pipelife will produce a full range
of plastic pipe systems for water distribution
and sewage networks.
The factory will offer the most advanced
products in polypropylene (PP),
polyethylene (PE) as well as vinyls, to
cover the growing needs of Russian users.
Pipelife has been operating for over 5 years
in the Russian market through its sales
office in Moscow. Mr Miguel Kohlmann, the
CEO of Pipelife commented, “Pipelife has
a leading position in the markets of eastern
Europe. The start-up of the new Russian
factory highlights the commitment the group
has to Eastern Europe and specifically to its
largest market Russia.”
The Pipelife Group is a 50/50 joint venture
between Wienerberger, the Austrian
construction materials manufacturer, and
Solvay. It is one of Europe’s leading plastic
pipe and fittings groups.

A simplified coupling solution
Pipe couplings for Russian WTW modernisation
Fittings from Viking Johnson, UK, are being used to help bring international quality
standards to one of the Russian Federation’s largest water treatment works. FlexLock
and UltraGrip couplings are being supplied for connecting filtration pipework in
St Petersburg’s northern water treatment works.
The patented FlexLock range of self-anchoring pipe couplings and flange adapters is ideal
for above-ground applications (using ductile iron or steel pipes). They are available in sizes
from DN50 (2") up to DN300 (12") and for pressure ratings of DN50 to DN200 (16 bar) and
DN250 to DN300 (10 bar). UltraGrip pipe couplings, flange adaptors, pecatadaptors and
end caps are supplied with unique grippers that offer full end restraint.
Both products are protected against corrosion and handling damage by a coating of
Rilsan Nylon 11, which meets WIS 4-52-01 (Part 1) performance standards.
