| Description |
|
|
The GT Plain Pipe End Couplings consist of two cast iron semi-casings with heavy-duty jaws set into the casing halves to secure the pipes together in a safe, quick and rigid way.
The two semi-casings are joined together by strong bolts and nuts positioned on the two ends.
The sealing is assured by gaskets made from EPDM or food-grade SILICONE.

| Function |
|
|
The GT Couplings have been developed to join together two plain pipe ends on the same horizontal axis in a safe, quick and rigid way. The jaws set into the housing assure a solid grip and prevent the pipes from pulling out.
GT Couplings are suitable for both mild steel and stainless steel pipes.
