A High Performance Polyethylene Pipe Jointing System
Simple to Install
The AquaGrip range was developed in response to demand for a simple, high performance end load restraint (Type 1) mechanical method of joining polyethylene pipe. AquaGrip products are designed to support and grip PE pipe to prevent pipe collapse and pullout.
On the Spot Repairs
Another key benefit of the AquaGrip range is ‘all-weather installation’. It can be installed under wet conditions without shelters, and even under water. It is ideal for on-the-spot repairs – no need for fusion jointing equipment when unexpected problems arise!
Easy & Safe to Fit
The range requires no special skills or complicated tools to fit, a suitably calibrated torque wrench is the only specialist tool required. The ability to rotate the flange bolt holes and the lightweight, compact design provide easier handling and quicker installation.
High Performance
Once fitted the product range offers axial restraint and is designed and tested to meet the full Type 1 performance requirements of IGN 4-01-02 (formally WIS 4-24-01). It is designed to equal or exceed the pressure capabilities of MDPE (PE80) and HDPE (PE100) pipe and has total corrosion protection with Rilsan Nylon coated body and end rings.
Why Choose AquaGrip
Unobstructed slip-on design – Centre-stop-free construction makes repairing existing pipelines faster and far more convenient.
No product dismantling – Install directly onto the pipe without stripping components, saving time on site.
Single bolt size – One torque wrench covers the entire range, simplifying toolkits and reducing setup effort.
No precision cutting required – Avoids the need for machined pipe ends or highly accurate pipe preparation.
Versatile product range – Straight couplings support straightforward repairs or new lay connections with minimal hassle.
Supplied with PE liners – Delivered complete with liners for reliable jointing on polyethylene pipeline systems.
Fully regulation compliant – tested & proven to meet Water Supply (Water Fittings) Regulations 1999 for England & Wales, Water Byelaws 2000 for Scotland & Water Regulations for Northern Ireland.
Designed for Type 1 performance – Manufactured to the full requirements of WIS 4-24-01 for proven reliability.
Design Benefits
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.
