It is ideal for municipal water and wastewater systems, industrial facilities, chemical plants and oil & gas industries.

Features:

• Straub STR21400 Grip-L pipe coupling has a teeth-based grip and comes with low-lead certification, ensuring compliance with health and safety regulations.
• This coupling offers electrical conductivity across the pipe joint for grounding or electrical continuity.
• It can be operated at pressures up to 232 psi, ensuring reliable performance in demanding high-pressure environments.
• This Straub coupling features stainless steel construction for corrosion resistance and durability.

Frequently Asked Questions:

Q. How does the teeth-based grip work in this Straub coupling?

A. The teeth-based grip of the coupling anchors itself to the pipe's surface, providing axial restraint. This feature becomes stronger as internal pressure increases, preventing the pipe from pulling out of the coupling.

Q. How to maintain this 8 inch pipe coupling?

A. Regularly check for signs of leaks, corrosion, or damage on the couplings and the connected pipes. If any issues are detected, address them promptly, which may include tightening connections or replacing damaged components. Keep the couplings clean and free from debris or contaminants that could affect their sealing. Proper storage in a dry, protected area when not in use is also recommended to prevent deterioration.
