Supa Lock™ - the connection system without thread
Connecting valves and fittings using a threaded connection can be time consuming and often exposes part of the thread to water and the outside environment. Over time, this will cause corrosion of the uncoated thread and can even lead to leaks. Supa Lock™ solves this problem.
Excellent corrosion protection
The patented Supa Lock™ system offers a 100% corrosion-free connection combined with quick and easy assembly for maximum flexibility. With its simple design, Supa Lock™ provides long-term safety with ultimate protection against corrosion and leaks as well as joint disengagement when the pipeline is under pressure.
The wide range of Supa Lock™ includes valves, tapping saddles and fittings in ductile iron with a heavy duty epoxy coating complying with GSK requirements.
Easy two-step assembly
After having lubricated the O-rings, the Supa Lock™ spigot end is pushed into the Supa Lock™ socket end, the safety retainer is clicked on.
Self-locking safety retainer
Supa Lock™ is designed as a tensile joint and withstands pressures up to PN 16 x 1.5. The safety retainer is designed with an edge, which makes it self-locking whenever there is pressure in the pipeline. Therefore, no accidental disassembly can take place. The safety retainer has two finger knobs for easy assembly and disassembly.
Joints with heavy duty O-rings provide extra safety
All Supa Lock™ joints are designed with heavy duty O-rings to secure the joint against leaking. The large O-rings provide extra safety when taking into account that a minor permanent deformation of the O-rings is to be expected over the lifetime of the product. Also, when the joint is exposed to bending as a result of ground movements, the large O-rings provide maximum safety.
The valves and connectors can not rotation
Free rotation is restricted on valves and threaded connections used for drilling machines to allow efficient drilling. Small cast notches are located on the outer rim of the socket end and on the inner rim of the interlock spigot end to prevent free rotation.
The fittings gives maximum flexibility
Designed for 360° rotation of the fittings, this is a unique feature offered only by the Supa Lock™ system. The free rotation of the joint allows the installer to direct the service pipe outlet in any direction from the main pipe, thereby avoiding collisions with other pipes or obstacles in the trench.
