Our customer had to complete a cut in of a new valve assembly on an existing wastewater pressure main in a confided space environment, all inside a limited time window.
Three different pipe materials Concrete Lined Steel, Ductile Iron and Polyethylene had to be joined to, all with varying OD’s.
The contractor found that Synoflex flange adaptors offered the best solution for this job. The wide outside diameter tolerance with good angular deflection and a restrained grip ring meant that this job could be done right first time and within time.
Additionally utilising Synoflex eliminated an EF coupler and a PE reducer from the original design saving additional time and costs.
