What is a HYMAX COUPLING?

What is a HYMAX COUPLING?

Wide-range HYMAX Coupling, used for section replacement, connects two pipes of the same or different OD pipe circumferences and materials, up to 54mm range. Sizes 350mm-600mm are standard and 650mm – 1500mm are MTO (Made To Order).

Can you reuse Hymax couplings?

Can Hymax couplings and nuts/bolts be re-used? Yes, our bolts feature anti galling coating designed to be reused multiple times.

What is Hymax used for?

HYMAX Tapping Sleeves are used to attach tapping valves or gate valves to water mains so water mains can be extended for future development, to install new fire hydrants on existing lines, increase fire protection for buildings, etc.

What is a Hymax?

Hymax wide-range couplings can connect pipes with different diameters. Wide range is achieved through a two-layer gasket system that allows for the removal of the inner gasket to increase the coupling’s range. The unique two-bolt design features a 304 SS spanner on each end for simple installation.

What is a dresser coupling?

Dresser couplings are the original and best compression type pipe joining device. The flat backend of the gasket is compressed together by sequentially tightening the bolts that pull the two follower rings closer together creating a pressure seal of up to 1500 PSI.

What is the purpose of a dresser coupling?

Dresser couplings are the original and best compression type pipe joining device. Allowing slight misalignment, vibration, expansion and contraction with a very simple and rapid installation process. If you can do up a nut and bolt you are capable of installing a Dresser coupling.

How does a dresser coupling work?

The Basic Working Principle of Dresser Coupling As the nuts are tightened, the bolts draw the follower rings toward each other, compressing the gaskets in the spaces formed by follower rings, middle ring flares and pipe surface thus producing a flexible, leak-proof seal on the pipe joint.

Do compression fittings work on galvanized pipe?

A Dresser coupling — made by the Dresser Company — is a compression coupling you can use to repair galvanized steel and other metal pipes. They can connect pipes with or without threads and are especially useful when threads have rusted and become unusable.

Will Sharkbites work on galvanized pipe?

There is an answer. The SharkBite push to connect fittings are not designed to press on galvanized pipe. SharkBite makes a threaded to press fit transition adapter to fit your PEX to galvanized. If you want to rethread your galvanized pipe, you will need to square cut it.

What makes Krausz hymax pipe connection so reliable?

Its patented gasket transforms the pipe joint into a flexible connection, allowing dynamic deflection of the pipe after installation, reducing future pipe cracks and breaks. Made of highly durable ductile iron, Krausz HYMAX GRIP is the perfect choice for a fast and reliable restrained connection.

What makes a hymax grip gasket so effective?

It features a top-facing two-bolt or four-bolt design, enabling quick and easy installation. Its patented gasket transforms the pipe joint into a flexible connection, allowing dynamic deflection of the pipe after installation, reducing future pipe cracks and breaks.

What kind of coupling is used for pipe replacement?

HYMAX COUPLING CONNECTING THE FUTURE. Wide-range HYMAX Coupling, used for section replacement, connects two pipes of the same or different OD pipe circumferences and materials, up to 54mm range.

What kind of iron is Krausz hymax grip made of?

Made of highly durable ductile iron, Krausz HYMAX GRIP is the perfect choice for a fast and reliable restrained connection.
