ORBIT Flex Grip

Model : FLEX GRIP

Available in a range of custom sizes or standard sizes between: 21.7mm and 168.3mm.

The Orbit Flex Grip pipe coupling model enables the user to connect and join two pipes quickly and easily with the ability to allow pipes to flex and compensate for pipe misalignment and imperfections when joining two pipes together. Manufactured from marine grade 316 stainless steel (W5) and fitted with teflon coated stainless steel bolts as standard on all Orbit Couplings in Australia.
1. Available in S or L, short or long versions
2. Non-axially restrained pipe coupling
3. Allows slight misaligned pipe connection
4. Allows vibration in the pipeline and slight movement
5. Good for connecting Metal, PE, FRP, GRP, PVC pipe
6. 316 Stainless Steel Coupling with EPDM, NBR, VITON or
Silicone seal.

Orbit Couplings can manufacture custom made sizes of couplings up to 4000.0mm. The above table is for example purposes only.

ORBIT Flange Adapter

Model: FLANGE ADAPTER

The Orbit Flange Adapter is used to connect a plain ended pipe to a flange ended pipe without any requirement for welding or fabrication on site. With a quick and easy installation this is the most simple way to connect a plain ended pipe to any flange. Installed with an Orbit coupling of any choice of model suitable to the users requirements.
1. Manufactured from 316 Stainless Steel Flange and Pipe. More options are available. Available in sizes up to 5000mm.
2. Good for connecting PE, FRP, GRP, PVC pipe
3. 316 Stainless Steel Coupling (w5) with EPDM, NBR seal
4. Flange Adapters are designed to suit the outside diameter of the mating plain ended pipe.

Flange adapters enable the connection of a plain ended pipe to a
flange ended pipe without the requirement for welding on site.

Installation of the Adapter

Flange Adapter tube to match the outside diameter of the plain ended pipe being connected. Flex Grip Coupling or Metal Lock Couplings used to connect and seal the join of the mating pipes.

Choosing the correct Flange Adapter

Flange adapters are available in a wide variety of sizes to suit.
1. Measure the nominal bore of your plain ended pipe
2. Determine which type of flange you need the adapter to bolt to.
3. Measure the outside diameter of the plain ended pipe

We manufacture flange adaptors for the following flange types:
American: ANSI/ASME
British: BS4504
Australian: AS4087 & AS2129
Japanese: JIS B2220

ORBIT Fire Protection Pipe Coupling

1. Available in S, short model – Metal Lock model only
2. Axially restrained pipe coupling, no pull out or vibration
3. Fire Testing according to ISO 19922 regulation 30 minutes at 800 C
4. Maintains internal structure of the coupling during a fire
5. Can only be used with Metal pipe – only suitable material
6. 316 Stainless Steel Coupling (w5) with EPDM, NBR, VITON or Silicone seal.
