 Elastic jointing system on vitrified clay pipes & fittings |
All clay pipes and fittings are supplied with built-in flexible joints. These joints will provide a completely tight sealing and are specifically designed to comply to the same requirements as pipes and fittings. The (L) joints system as well as the (K) system are guaranteed to comply to all the requirements with regard to chemical resistance (in the pH range 2 to 12), ageing, flexibility and physical strength.
