Connex ®
The Connex® Junction
Lateral connections can be quickly and simply made to the main sewer on new or existing plastic pipes. Now the junction has an integral adjustable socket allowing movement in all direction from 0º to 11º.
The CONNEX®-Junction thus complies with the requirements of ATV - DVWK - A 139, according to which "Lateral pipes must be manufactured and connected so that they can allow for movement. Possible settlement and the loadings this can impose in the area of the joint must be allowed for."
The use of the CONNEX®-Junction considerably simplifies conventional working methods:
- Exposing a metre wide section of the main sewer for the subsequent connection of pipes is no longer necessary.
- The pipe bed remains untouched during the assembly work.
- The installing of pre-formed junctions with couplers after cutting the main sewer is also done away with.
- The precise, quick fitting saves time and money.
