Overview
For Polyethylene Pipe Connections
The Viking Johnson AquaGrip is a high-performance, fully end-load resistant coupling & flange adaptor range designed to provide secure, leak-free jointing for PE pipe systems. Combining advanced sealing with a robust gripping mechanism, it delivers reliable restraint without the need for additional anchoring, even in demanding or high-pressure environments.
AquaGrip accommodates pipe tolerances while maintaining joint integrity, making it ideal for water, wastewater and infrastructure projects. The range also includes a large diameter flange adaptor, extending its benefits to larger pipelines where secure, restrained connections to flanged assets are essential.

AquaGrip: 63mm to 180mm
A key advantage of AquaGrip is its ability to be installed quickly and safely in all conditions, including wet or submerged environments. Requiring only a calibrated torque wrench and no specialist skills, the system allows for efficient on-the-spot repairs without the need for fusion jointing equipment. Its lightweight, compact design and rotational flexibility further ease handling and installation on site.
Engineered to meet stringent industry standards, AquaGrip achieves Type 1 performance in line with IGN 4-01-02 across a wide range of sizes, ensuring the joint is stronger than the pipe itself.
High-quality materials, including Rilsan Nylon coated components and corrosion-resistant fasteners, provide long-term durability and protection in demanding environments.

AquaGrip Large Diameter Flange Adaptor: 225mm to 1600mm
Extending the proven AquaGrip technology into larger diameters, these adaptors offer a reliable method of connecting PE pipe to valves, pumps and other flanged assets across large diameter water, wastewater and infrastructure applications.

The AquaGrip Product Range
The AquaGrip Product Range Benefits
AquaGrip accommodates pipe tolerances while maintaining joint integrity, making it ideal for water, wastewater and infrastructure projects.
Exceptional Grip
The combination of the acetal grippers and separate internal support liner gives AquaGrip an end load gripping capability of Type 1 to WIS 4-24-01. This means that the joint is stronger than the PE pipe itself.
Designed to Last
The sleeve or body are fully coated in black Rilsan Nylon 11 which has excellent resistance to impact, abrasion, weathering and chemicals as well as good thermal stability and flexibility to accommodate for rough site handling. It is also WRAS listed.
Corrosion Resistance
Sheraplex coated nuts & bolts offer excellent corrosion resistance and eliminates galling of coating in threads allowing repeated dismantling and installation of products if required.
Unique Gasket
The EPDM gasket (Compound 80 IRHD Grade E) is suitable for water and sewage applications between a temperature range of -10°C to 40°C.

Exceptional End Restraint
Uniquely designed clamp locks onto the anchoring shoulder, providing maximum end load restraint.
Reliable Seal
The flanged body incorporates an internal support liner which carries the double ridged gasket(s) that seals on the inside of the PE pipe. The inside of the pipe is well protected from casual on-site damage, so the seal remains secured.
Corrosion Resistance
Bolts, nuts and washers are plated in zinc, and then Grey Flurene® 177, a low friction coating which offers excellent corrosion resistance.
External Coating
The body, clamp band and liner are fully coated in Black Rilsan Nylon 11 which has excellent resistance to impact, abrasion, weathering and chemicals as well as good thermal stability and flexibility to accommodate for rough site handling. It is WRAS listed.
