Power lock® is a jointing system which ensures a perfectly stable and operational seal over the long term. FITT Blutech implements the socket-based jointing system with the seal mechanically hot-inserted in advance during the socket forming phase. The Power Lock® seal consists of an EPDM elastomer sealing element in accordance with the UNI EN 681 standard, co-moulded with a fibre-reinforced polypropylene stiffening ring. This jointing system guarantees a high degree of seal stability, resulting in easy assembly, perfect functionality and optimal hydraulic tightness of the pipes over time. The full socketing process entails the formation of the socket on the chuck and on the seal, thus fully eliminating any irregularities commonly found on standard products. In actual fact, the existing clearances between the seal and its housing are eliminated, guaranteeing a stable ring and eliminating displacement during pipe assembly. DESIGNERS . High seal performance . Time-saving for inspections and tests . Guaranteed hydraulic tightness in case of both positive and negative pressure . Enhanced reliability of the joint’s tightness . 3.0° angular deflection on the joint (high misalignments) . Internal dimensions of the socket not susceptible . to variations. INSTALLERS . The pipe arrives at the laying site with the already inserted seal, thus preventing potential loss or damage of the seal itself . No shifting of the seal . Easy, quick and safe assembly . Considerable reduction of the difficulties involved in assembling the pipelines. The effort becomes significant as the diameter increases, resulting in a lower amount
