IDEAL® No-Hub Couplings MD
Vendor: Ideal
Coupling Type: Clamps
Description:
IAMPO Listed - Heavy-Duty
Coupling Category:
No-Hub Couplings
No-Hub Coupling MD Features:
The distinctive yellow shield quickly identifies the IDEAL Heavy-Duty MD Couplings and makes it easier for inspectors.
5/16" hex-head screw applies 80 in-lbs. of installation torque to the band/shield assembly.
Ideal's unique shield design employs bi-directional corrugations for maximum transfer of pressure from the clamps to the gasket. This patented* shield design adjusts to differences in the circumference and outside diameters of the pipes being joined. This eliminates gasket wrinkling and thereby eliminates leak paths. These bi-directional corrugations also create sealing pressure in both parallel and transverse patterns on the gasket and pipe. This works to avoid "pull out" failures and provides a positive, reliable seal.
The heavy-duty coupling mates utilizes a specially beaded gasket that mates with the shield and clamping forces for superior sealing pressure and holding power. IDEAL gaskets comply with ASTM C564.
Floating eyelets fasten the clamps to the shield, allowing the clamp band and shield to move independently. This freedom prevents the shield from crimping during tightening, which can lead to leakage later on.
IDEAL clamps feature a one-piece screw housing that mechanically interlocks the housing to the band. This design eliminates leak paths that can occur in staked or welded clamps.
