Flange adapters won't pull out
A contractor in Hungary turned to Viking Johnson's UltraGrip flange adapters to eliminate the risk of connections being pulled apart by sudden surges.
A contractor in Hungary working on a main where water hammer was a problem turned to Viking Johnson's UltraGrip flange adapters to eliminate the risk of connections being pulled apart by sudden surges UltraGrip DN300 flange adapters from the company's Hungarian distributor Kristaly were used to connect valves and sections of pipe during modification of the main, in the city of Pecs in the Southern Transdanubia region

Wide-tolerance couplings solve problems
The UltraGrip range of wide-tolerance couplings, flange adapters and end caps, originally developed for the demanding specification of the German water industry, are now available in the UK.
The unique "anti-pullout" gripping mechanism, which holds the pipe more firmly as pressure increases, works on almost every combination of pipe materials.
UltraGrip can also accommodate differences in diameter of up to 44mm and, if the grippers are removed, allows for as much as eight degrees of angularity between pipes.
This flexibility means that pipes of different materials and diameters can often be joined by a single UltraGrip coupling - especially convenient in Eastern Europe, where mains were sometimes laid using pipes from different countries, each of which manufactured to its own standards and dimensions.
As well as flange adapters the UltraGrip range includes couplings and end caps, and was recently expanded with the addition of reducing couplings and pecatadapters. Request a free brochure from Viking Johnson ...
