90mm x 1" Ductile Iron Collar for Polyethylene and PVC Pipes

The 90 mm x 1" tapping and repair collar (reference: BA24462) is an essential component for professional hydraulic installations. Manufactured from high-strength ductile iron, this fitting is specifically designed for creating safe and watertight branch connections in potable water supply networks, agricultural irrigation systems, and sewage systems. Its robust construction ensures exceptional durability under demanding pressure and burial conditions.

Applications and Versatility in Water Networks

This clamp system is the ideal solution for connecting new service lines to existing polyethylene (PE) and polyvinyl chloride (PVC) pipes. Its design allows for quick installation without the need to completely shut off the main water supply, optimizing on-site work time. In addition to its primary function as a branch connection, it also acts as a highly effective repair clamp for sealing cracks or small accidental breaks in the pipe.

Maximum Durability and Watertightness

The choice of ductile iron as the primary material gives this clamp exceptional mechanical resistance to impacts and ground stresses. To prevent corrosion and significantly extend its lifespan, the clamp body features a protective epoxy coating applied using advanced procedures, ensuring insulation against moisture and chemical agents present in the soil. The bolted fastening system guarantees uniform distribution of clamping pressure, complemented by a high-performance rubber gasket that prevents any leakage.

Frequently Asked Questions

On what types of pipe can this collar be installed?

This model is fully compatible with plastic pipes intended for water conveyance, specifically high and low density polyethylene (PE) pipes and PVC pipes.

Is it suitable for repairing damaged pipes?

Yes, in addition to its main use for creating new water branches or connections, it works perfectly as a repair clamp to seal punctures or cracks in the pipe.

What advantages does epoxy coating offer?

The epoxy coating acts as a protective barrier against oxidation and corrosion, allowing the collar to be installed underground or in humid environments while maintaining its properties intact for many years.

Does it need to be shut off the water supply for installation?

Although it is recommended to depressurize the network to work safely, the design of this collar facilitates the execution of live taps using specialized machinery without the need to interrupt service for a prolonged period.
