AquaShield Couplings DN90/DN125/DN180
Universal Fittings for PE & Barrier Pipes
AquaShield is a universal fitting that accommodates PE & PE barrier pipe for use on new installations in brownfield sites. Fully approved system to enable connections between different barrier pipe brands.
These couplings prevent contaminants entering water networks by sealing the barrier pipe from within while keeping the outer layer of the barrier pipe intact. It can also be used as a transition to a standard PE water network.
Unique Gripping Technology
AquaShield is rated to 16 bar working pressure and has a unique gripping mechanism offering WIS 4-24-01 type-1 end load restraint which means the pipe will fail before the fitting. It is independently tested and approved to BS 8561:2021 and certified by WRc and RINA for permeation against contaminants as per BS 8588:2017 (section 7.7).
AquaShield forms a leak-tight seal without the need for a gasket simply by torquing up the bolts. The spigot profile design ensures a firm and secure connection is made from inside the pipe.
