the Tuf-Lok pipe couplings allows them to accommodate both high pressure and full vacuum pressure conditions. Even high external pressure conditions are accommodated, so the Tuf-Lok pipe couplings are fully leakproof from both outside and inside. The leakproof connection is maintained even when the couplings are completely submerged underwater, a feature not always achievable with other pipe couplings. A special cost saving feature of the Tuf-Lok ring grip pipe couplings is that they can be installed on almost any kind of metal pipe irrespective of the wall thickness. They can also be used on mild steel, stainless steel, aluminium and most other thick or thin wall pipe.

Self-aligning stainless steel pipe couplings

The Tuf-Lok ring grip pipe couplings are rugged, heavy-duty self-aligning and self- grounded pipe couplings that are ideal for almost any application where pipe ends need to be connected. Tuf-Lok pipe couplings install quickly and easily, reducing installation costs, while reinstallation is also fast and easy. This makes them ideal

for applications where assembly and disassembly are required. In addition, with the Tuf-Lok ring grip pipe couplings, the pipe ends do not require machining or grooving and never become marred or damaged when making a connection. Pipeline integrity and re-use of the pipe is never compromised. These ring grip pipe couplings are very rugged and have an extremely high end pull capability. This toughness is important
