Biggest project chooses Viking Johnson couplings
Viking Johnson has secured a six-figure order to supply pipe couplings for the Buenos Aires concession, the world's biggest water and wastewater privatisation contract
Introduction of the Twin-Start bolts - believed to be a first for pipe joints - coincides with a comprehensive re-engineering of the MaxiDaptor design using finite element analysis and 3D modelling.
The new version satisfies Viking Johnson rigorous test standards, such as short and long-term pressure tightness and AREL accelerated ageing tests.
It has also passed independent vibration tests, confirming that the bolts maintain the appropriate torque in service.
The bolt torques are unchanged.
MaxiDaptor is just one of the couplings in the Viking Johnson MaxiFit range, the leading UK pipe jointing product.
It creates opportunities to reduce stocks by accommodating plain-ended pipes with different outside diameters in all common materials - steel, ductile and cast iron, PVCu and asbestos cement. Request a free brochure from Viking Johnson ...
