Installation instructions

Alvenius quick connection pipe systems are up to five times faster to install than welding, threading or flanging, resulting in lowest total installed cost. Alvenius pipe systems can reduce total installed costs from 20 to 40%.

Assembly without flame, or messy cutting oils and chips, and with a minimum of bolts, has great appeal for many users.

Alvenius pipe systems can be assembled with unskilled personnel and to that with a very short assembly time. The pipe systems require two bolts for each coupling (through 300 mm). Bolt hole alignment is not critical, as is the case with flanges.

The gaskets outer mating surface and the lips' inner mating surfaces are lightly greased with a lithium or silicon-based grease. The rubber gasket is slid onto one of the pipe ends.

Align the connecting pipe's end with a clearance of 2-3 mm. Slide the rubber gasket over the joint.

Fit the two halves of the coupling so that they enclose the gasket and the pipe ends.

Tighten the screws evenly and alternately.
