Ductile Iron ® ® Flex-Ring and Lok-Ring Fittings

AMERICAN Ductile Iron Flex-Ring® and Lok-Ring® Fittings The principal standards covering fittings are ANSI/AWWA C110/A21.10 and ANSI/AWWA C153/A21.53. The principal standard covering joints is ANSI/AWWA C111/A21.11. These and other standards are referenced throughout this section by the full ANSI/AWWA designation or by only the AWWA numbering, such as AWWA C110 or C153. AMERICAN furnishes a line of 16”– 48” Flex-Ring and 54”–64” Lok-Ring fittings meeting the applicable requirements of AWWA C110 or C153, depending on diameter and joint. These fittings all employ the standard Fastite or Fast-Grip...
