* Connecting System Code

  • Two collars are welded at the ends of steel pipes.
  • These collars may be of various interchangeable types.
  • The pipes treated in this way are joined by a lever or bolt coupling, while the seal is assured by a double-lipped gasket of the traditional type (“GU” STANDARD) or by a double lipped gasket of the raised model (“GU” CONIC).
  • This is the most widely used system.
  • Its particular flexibility allows the pipes some change in direction and also rotation, thus making it irreplaceable for booms and articulations.
