I. Product Introduction
The gibault joint is a kind of flexible mechanical coupling specially designed for AC pipes and other rigid pipelines. It is widely used in water supply, drainage, irrigation, and municipal pipeline projects for quick connection, sealing, and compensation.
II. Features of Gibault Joint
1.Excellent Flexibility & Deflection Ability
The joint allows a certain angle deflection and axial displacement, which can adapt to foundation settlement, ground movement, and thermal expansion of pipelines, effectively protecting the pipeline system.
2.Reliable Sealing Performance
Equipped with high-quality rubber gaskets, it forms a tight seal under bolt pressure, ensuring no leakage under working pressure and water hammer conditions.
3.Simple and Robust Structure
Composed of two half-shells, a rubber sealing ring, and fastening bolts, the structure is strong, durable, corrosion-resistant, and has a long service life.
4.Easy and Fast Installation
No welding, no threading, no special tools required. It can be installed quickly on site, greatly improving construction efficiency and reducing labor costs.
5.Wide Applicability
Suitable for asbestos cement (AC) pipes, cast iron pipes, and other similar rigid pipelines. It is widely used in water transmission, drainage, rural water supply, and urban pipe network renovation.
6.Maintenance-Free
The reliable structure and high-quality materials ensure stable performance during operation, with almost no need for daily maintenance.
III. Installation Instructions
1.Preparation
Clean the pipe ends smoothly and remove burrs, dust, and dirt. Check that the rubber gasket and bolts are intact.
2.Position the Gasket
Place the rubber sealing ring evenly around the two pipe ends to be connected. Make sure it is centered and not twisted.
3.Assemble the Shells
Install the two half shells over the gasket and align the bolt holes. Insert and tighten the bolts evenly and gradually in a cross pattern to ensure uniform pressure.
4.Check and Adjust
After installation, check that the gasket is evenly compressed and the shells are tightly closed. Make sure there is no gap or misalignment.
5.Pressure Test
After the joint is installed, carry out a pressure test according to project standards to confirm sealing and safety before backfilling.
IV. Summary
The gibault joint offers a safe, efficient, and economical connection solution for AC pipelines. With its outstanding flexibility, reliable sealing, and easy installation, it has become the preferred coupling for water supply and drainage pipeline construction and renovation.
