Project specifications: Viking Johnson UltraGrip 400mm

In July 2016, Plock Waterworks had to undergo a replacement of a 400mm ring main due to a leak. Having used Viking Johnson's MaxiRange in the past, the decision was made to switch over to the new UltraGrip RangeThe UltraGrip covered all potential requirements and gave Plock Waterworks the opportunity to reduce inventory costs by stocking one product range.

On site, the Next Generation UltraGrip is easy to install. The product is pre-assembled to allow for quick positioning over top and bottom tolerance pipe with reversible captive bolts requiring only a single spanner for tightening. An ideal product to choose when dealing with tricky site conditions such as confined spaces.

Designed for both water and gas applications, UltraGrip products are designed to offer a solution to joining plain-ended pipes and contain an end load resistant mechanism, that grips and seals onto a variety of pipe materials including cast iron, ductile iron, steel, PVC* and PE*.
