Rigid PVC Ringfit Pipes (With Elastomeric Sealing Ring)

Rigid PVC Ringfit Pipes overcome problems commonly experienced in solvent cement jointing particularly in case of higher (above 160 mm) diameter PVC pipes. Apart from being easy to install and join, Ringfit pipes automatically accommodate linear expansion and contraction, eliminating the need for expansion loops as are required for solvent cement pipelines. Slight shifting of soil or bending of the pipeline upto 2&176; per joint (which are very common phenomena) can also be easily accommodated by Ringfit pipes. Pipelines utilising Finolex Ringfit pipes can be taken up for pressure testing immediately on completion of the section. The waiting period required for solvent cement joints is entirely eliminated resulting in shorter installation time. Moreover, the inflammable nature of solvent cement requires extra care in handling. This precaution, too, is eliminated by use of Finolex Ringfit pipes. Finolex Ringfit pipes are fitted with a special elastomeric sealing ring, which has many advantages over natural rubber. Some of the major advantages are: It is not affected by ozone, ultra-violet radiation (sunlight), bacteria, fungus and termites. It is resistant to salt water, organic vegetable oils, dilute acids, dilute alkalies, aqueous chlorine and other pollutants and contaminants found in communal sewage and waste water. It has prolonged shelf life of over 50 years. It is highly reliable and robust. Tests have shown that Ringfit joints successfully withstand pressures beyond the specified testing pressures for the pipe. Finolex is manufacturing complete range of Ringfit PVC pipes (63 mm-400 mm OD) in pressure classes of 4 kg/cm2, 6 kg/cm2 and 10 kg/cm2. With all the normal advantages of PVC over conventional pipe materials like MS, CI, GI, etc. Finolex Ringfit pipes provide an ideal solution to industries for their higher diameter pipelines.
