Socket fittings are supplied with EPDM gaskets, at buyer’s request.
Quality Standards as per IS : 9523 and BS EN 545.
Manufacture and test as per IS:9523:2000
Lifting loops provided at the centre of gravity for easy handling. Lifting loops have been provided on fittings from size DN 400 and above. This enables easy lifting of the fittings from trucks and lowering into the trench. These loops have been computer aligned and placed at such points that the center of mass and center of gravity match, keeping the fitting in horizontal position. During lifting the fitting remains stationary (doesn't oscillate), enabling alignment (which is critical for fitting of higher sizes) with the pipe during placement in the trench.
Dedicated machine shop and finishing shop for fittings, with specially trained personnel.
Size Range: 80 mm - 1000 mm diameter.
Available with inner Cement Lining, Zinc primer with Epoxy coating on the outside.
Thrust pads on fittings to increase the surface area for stronger grip and avoid shifting of bends, caused by surge pressure Thrust pad has been provided on bends of 90 and 45 degrees for sizes 80mm and 100mm. Bends face the maximum surge pressure in any pipeline and tend to turn when pressure is applied. The thrust pad provides more surface area for the thrust block (made of concrete) to grip the fitting.
Side lugs available on both sides of all sockets, to act as a strong gripper for wire rope and useful support for crowbar during installation Each socket fitting is provided with two slide lugs. This lug is available across all sizes and all types of socket fittings. It enables fastening of wire rope and offers a firm grip for pulling machines while laying and joining. This can be used to either push the pipe into the fitting socket or the fittings onto the pipe. Without the lugs, the wire rope tied on the socket or the fitting mouth tends to slip because of lack of any firm grip. Thus the provision of side lugs speeds up laying and joining considerably. In cases where a crowbar is used to anchor fitting firmly in place while joining, the lugs provide useful support.
