TXJoint, FlexPipe

Component Number:

5191

Applicable Systems:

The FlexPipe

Description

The TXJoint consists of: 1. Main pipe joint 2. Open shrink wraps 3. Closure patches 4. Shrink wrap 5. Closure patch 6. SX-WPJoint 7. Venting plugs 8. Weld plugs The branch pipe piece of the T-shoe is one dimension larger than the dimension of the pipe to connect to. The SX-WPJoint then reduces to the dimension of the pipe to connected to.

Application

T-joint for foaming, used to branch perpendicular to the main pipe. The T-joint is made of PE and the shrink sleeve of cross-linked PE (PEX). If it is to be used in connection with hot tapping, this must be stated when ordering. Installation on pipes with corrugated casing requires that the branch be sealed with an extra collar, which is ordered separately. As a standard TXJoint is double sealed on the T-shoe. The branch can be double sealed by installing open shrink wrap on transition between T-shoe and SX-WPJoint and collar towards the flexible pipe. Can be used in all normal soil types, where the groundwater table is constantly less than 0.5 m over the pipes.
