Simple and efficient clamp fittings now accommodate PE-Xa

field of irrigation, household connection, swimming pools, horticulture, mining and telecommunications. In addition to the standard fittings, Magnum transition fittings, with a one- sided plastic or metal thread, solve the critical problem of transition to plastic or metal counter. Through the use of Magnum universal transition fittings, metal pipes such as copper, lead and steel can also be easily connected. The Magnum clamping system includes fittings, couplings, elbows, tees, reducers, end caps, transition fittings with tapered external or internal threads, universal flanges, universal transition fittings and accessories.

FIP (Formatura Iniezione Polimeri SpA), a subsidiary of Axialis group, offers the Magnum ® compression fittings system as an alternative to conventional joining techniques to bond or weld. Magnum clamp fittings made of PP are said to be particularly resistant, with high hardness, thermal stability and chemical resistance. The fittings are suitable for high tensile strength, and the detachable connection of plastic pipes of equal and different plastic types, such as HDPE 80/100, LDPE, PP, PVC-U/C (with special ZCKO clamping ring), and now also for PE-Xa (up to d63). By tightening the nut, the clinching ring is released and clamps the pipe while the compression bush compresses the O-ring, creating a permanently tight connection. The Magnum system, which is distributed in Germany by Akatherm FIP GmbH (Mannheim), provides a secure connection of the pipeline thanks to the dynamic user-sealing system, and it is mainly implemented in the
