This thrust-resisting socket joint renders concrete anchoring blocks
superfluous.
The number of socket joints to be secured this way shall be determined as
specified in DVGW standard GW 368.
Always contact our customer service before you use these joints in gas
pipelines, suspended pipelines or bridge pipelines.
Assembling the joint
- Clean the socket and spigot end.
- Clean the Tyton SIT® /TYTON SIT PLUS® ring, fold it so to form a heart and insert it into the socket. Note that the inner bend shall be situated between two steel segments (see Fig.). Apply a thin film of lubricant to the inserted sealing ring.
- Slide the profiled code ring with colour stripe (blue for Tyton SIT® and white for TYTON SIT PLUS®) onto the spigot end.
- Apply a thin film of lubricant to the spigot end – in particular to the chamfer – and insert it into the socket until it touches the sealing ring.
- Attach the fitting tool to the socket and spigot end and force the spigot end into the socket. Make sure the spigot is inserted concentrically and straight.
Caution! Turning an element in the circumferential direction (e.g. to bring a branch connection into position) shall be avoided; if unavoidable, it is essential that this is done before locking.
