Councils around Australia manage many thousands of kilometres of water pipelines, and ensuring these assets are operating at their peak is an ongoing priority.
For water pipelines, operating at maximum efficiency means minimising leaks, ensuring stability and promptly repairing any damage across the network.
Australian-made repair clamps, manufactured by AVK in Victoria, are the perfect solution for permanently repairing leaky, unstable, cracked or damaged pipeline systems ranging from DN40 to DN1200.
These clamps are available in a wide range of widths, from 150mm to 1200mm, and offer a stable repair solution for most leaking, cracked, or damaged pipes. They are also an effective way to reinforce old pipes in crucial areas or to provide a reliable seal for decommissioned service connections.
The product is made from high-quality 316 stainless steel and Nitrile rubber gaskets, allowing it to be used in various applications, including reticulated water and sewerage systems, as well as industrial use.
Versatile sizing with one clamp
The Series 748 repair clamp’s adjustable outer diameter (OD) range means that a single clamp can be used for pipes of different diameters within that OD range. This significantly reduces the need to stock multiple clamps for different pipe types and sizes.
Features and benefits of the clamps include:
- Manufactured from grade 316 stainless steel for superior corrosion protection
- Nitrile rubber gaskets provide a potable water contact approved seal and insulate against galvanic corrosion
- Fully passivated stainless steel underscores the quality and longevity of the product
- Clamp design permits the installation of a single clamp on a range of pipe diameters
- All sharp surfaces finished avoiding injury to the installer
- Product supplied with detailed installation instructions
- PTFE anti-galling coating employed to minimise galling of the stainless steel fasteners
- Manufacturing facility certified to the ISO 9001 quality assured standard
- Don’t compromise – insist on AVK Australian-made repair clamps.
