Product catalog summary
Introduction
The document introduces the PEWOGRIP stainless steel coupling, emphasizing its advantages over traditional pipe connections. It features a patented seal and a specially shaped anchoring ring for a reliable and permanent connection. The coupling is versatile, suitable for various pipe materials and diameters.
Foreword
Wolfgang Barbett, Managing Director of PEWOBAR GmbH, highlights the innovative nature of UNI-Coupling products, which offer sustainable benefits in ease, speed, and reliability of pipe connections. These products are tested and approved for applications including shipping, drinking water, and gas.
Advantages
The UNI-Coupling system is universally applicable, allowing quick repairs without service interruptions. It is reliable, compensating for axial movement and angular deflection, and is pressure-resistant and leak-proof. The design saves space, time, and weight, and is secure, reducing pressure shocks and eliminating fire hazards during installation.
Technical Specifications
The document provides detailed technical specifications, including clamping ranges, material quality, sealing materials, and application temperatures. It outlines dimensions and pressure ratings for various coupling types, such as PEWOGRIP, PEWOPLASTGRIP, and PEWOCOMBIGRIP.
Installation Guidelines
Guidelines for installation include marking the half coupling width on both pipe ends, aligning the coupling correctly, and tightening bolts with a torque wrench. The document discusses misalignment and axial offset, recommending minimal offsets for optimal performance.
Conclusion
The PEWOGRIP coupling system offers a safe, flexible, and tight sealing solution, with high axial strength and a patented gasket design. It is suitable for a wide range of applications and environments, providing a long-lasting and stress-free pipe connection solution.
Overview
The document provides technical specifications and guidelines for the installation and use of PEWOCOUPLING pipe connections, focusing on their application in various pipeline systems. It highlights the capabilities and limitations of different series of couplings, such as PEWOFLEX, PEWOREP, PEWOGRIP, PEWOCOMBIGRIP, and PEWOPLASTGRIP.
Specifications
PEWOCOUPLING pipe connections are designed for easy manual operation with minimal force. They are suitable for subsequent installation in modified or repaired pipeline sections. These couplings do not absorb shear, bending, or torsional forces, necessitating the use of anchor points for pressure pipes.
Axial Movements and Length Changes
The document discusses the need to accommodate axial movements due to temperature changes in pipelines. PEWOFLEX and PEWOREP series can compensate for axial movements between 5 and 20 mm, depending on the coupling size and type. It is recommended to use a T-band insert to prevent migration from the coupling to the pipe.
Bending and Torsion
PEWOCOUPLING connections do not absorb bending or torsional forces. Structural measures, such as using abutments made from lean concrete, are necessary for underground pipelines to deflect axial forces.
Electrical Conductivity
The document notes that PEWOFLEX and PEWOREP series do not ensure electrical bridging between pipes. However, PEWOGRIP series provides electrical bridging due to its metallic anchoring mechanism. Proper assembly ensures low electrical transition resistance.
Installation Instructions
The document provides detailed installation instructions, emphasizing the importance of proper preparation and fitting of couplings. It includes guidelines for ensuring electrical conductivity or insulation as needed.
Application Examples
Examples include borehole pump lines, fresh water pump lines, heat pump shaft lines, and loading and emptying systems for silos, tanks, and containers.
Important Considerations
Pressure lines must be supported, routed, and fixed as fixed points. The document also highlights the importance of adhering to maximum tensile load values for connections and pipes.

PIPE CONNECTIONS AND ACCESSORIES CONNECT PIPES BETTER, FASTER AND SAFER This stainless steel coupling offers numerous advantages in comparison to similar connecting elements. This is due to the fact that this coupling contains two special components that make it so unique. A patented seal prevents leaks and a specially shaped anchoring ring ensures a reliable and permanent connection. Thanks to the wide variety of types, it can be used as a connecting element between pipes made from diverse materials and with different external diameters.

MISALIGNMENT PEWOCOUPLING pipe connections compensate angular offsets up to 2° (4°) in every direction. Easy installation. That does away with the need for complex alignment of the pipes. It is also possible to use pipes with an angular offset as a connecting element for dynamic angular offset movements, after installation, during operation of the pipe. Example: Ground subsidence Universal joint via 2 couplings Note: Pipe end spacing Cmax must always be complied with. AXIAL OFFSET PEWOCOUPLING pipe connections allow an axial offset. However, we recommend avoiding the parallel offset or modifying...

If line guides are a sufficient distance from the pipe joint, so that the pipe ends can be operated manually with a small force effort (approx. 500 N), the remaining offset will inevitably be kept small after tightening the coupling. In such applications, a slight inclination of the coupling on the pipe joint is to be expected. SUBSEQUENT INSTALLATION OF PIPE SECTIONS, MOULDED PARTS AND FITTINGS The simple transfer to pipes and the wide tolerance field of the pipe coupling make this an ideal component for subsequent installation of pipe sections, moulded parts or fittings in case of line modifications...
