The top five reasons engineers specify the GripRing™ pipe restraint
- Simple to install
- Tru Full Circumferential Restraint
- No radial bolts to tighten
- Innovative Design
- When the road washes out, your water main won't go with it.
The GripRing's articulating wedge action provides the restraint required for virtually any pressure
Rated to full working pressure of pipe
GripRing pipe restrainers may be used at the full rated capacity of the pie, including an allowance for pressure surges.
Built in stop to prevent damage
to pipe
The "gap" in each GripRing is designed to completely close before a pipe can be excessively stressed.
The GripRing provides the restraint required for virtually any pressure
After the GripRing is engaged by tightening the T-bolts, the system responds dynamically to pressure changes in the pipe, providing the restraint required. Restraining systems using radial bolts or pads need to be pretightened enough to restrain the "worst case" pressure conditions.
The Ring flexes to accommodate deflection allowed in a Mechanical Joint
Restrains under misalignment conditions often found in the field.
The gland is painted yellow to avoid confusion
Since the gland used with the GripRing restraint system is similar in looks to a standard MJ Gland, it is painted yellow. The inspector can easily see that a restrainer has, in fact, been used.
