Pipe Couplers
Overview
Straight Couplings are used for joining DI pipes or pipes of different materials but having the same external diameter. GCF coupling comprises a center sleeve located between two end rings. Wedge-shaped elastomeric gaskets separate the sleeve and end rings. As the tie bars are tightened, the end rings are drawn together, compressing the gaskets between the end rings and the center sleeve onto the surface of the pipe to form an effective, leak-proof seal.

Products Details
Wide Size Range
A comprehensive range is available from DN80 to DN2600.
Pressure Options
Suitable for pressure range PN10 and PN16.
Pipeline Alignment
Designed to overcome minor misalignment of the pipeline.
Ground Stability
Capable of overcoming ground settlement.
Angular Deflection
Minor Misalignment Correction
GCF pipe couplers provide angular deflection capability to effectively overcome minor misalignment issues in pipeline installations.
Ground Settlement Compensation
The angular deflection feature allows pipes to adjust and compensate for ground settlement without compromising the integrity of the pipeline system.
Size-Specific Deflection Ranges
Different pipe sizes accommodate varying angular deflection ranges - from ±6° for DN80-DN450 to ±1° for DN2000-DN2600, ensuring optimal performance for each application.
Enhanced Installation Flexibility
he allowable angular deflection provides installers with greater flexibility during pipe laying, reducing the need for additional fittings and simplifying the installation process.
Installation Instructions
Precision Pipe Preparation
Pipe ends must be smooth, round, defect-free, and within standard tolerances to ensure optimal coupling performance.
Reliable Sealing Assurance
Select the correct gasket grade for the conveyed medium and maintain concentric alignment of pipe ends.
Efficient Installation Process
Mark pipe ends, position the coupling correctly, and align pipes with proper support for accurate assembly.
