Clamping System

• Assembled as one and inseparable during transport, handling, installation and maintenance.
• Clamping pipes together by a single bolt.
• Coupling’s symmetrical structure causes even load on the joint's components under pressure conditions.
• Can be supplied with lifting eye-bolts, to enable the easy installation of heavy clamping assembly.
