Product description
These specialized TPV (Thermoplastic Vulcanizate) rings are engineered specifically for use in expansion joints within uPVC underground drainage networks. Unlike standard rubber, TPV offers superior resistance to the harsh chemical environments found in wastewater, sewerage, and stormwater systems, ensuring a reliable seal that prevents leakage and environmental contamination.
Manufactured to meet rigorous industry standards, these rings are tested to withstand the mechanical stresses of soil movement and thermal expansion over a projected lifespan of 50 years. They are essential for maintaining the integrity of large-diameter drainage infrastructure where rigid cemented joints are not feasible.
Key Features & Applications
- Material Quality: Made from durable TPV compound resistant to chemical attacks from sewage and storm water.
- Standard Compliance: Conforms to BS EN 1401 standards for drainage components.
- Application: Ideal for expansion (ring) joints in uPVC pipes, particularly where flexibility is required to accommodate ground movement.
- Compatibility: Designed for uPVC pipes, complementing rigid cemented joints used for diameters up to 315mm.
