A nut driver and a torque wrench are required.

Can this coupling be used on all types of pipes?

No, it is specifically designed for pipes on adopted sewer and drainage applications.

What is the maximum internal pressure the coupling can withstand?

The coupling can withstand an internal pressure of up to 2.5 bar.

What should I do if the coupling leaks after installation?

Check the torque of the bolts and ensure proper alignment. Re-tighten if necessary, referring to the manufacturer's specifications.

Troubleshooting

Leakage after installation

Check the torque of the bolts and tighten them to the recommended specifications. Ensure the coupling is properly aligned on the pipes.

Difficulty in tightening the bolts
