Flanged compression connector Gebo Special OF 2 1/2" male thread for steel pipes. 01.220.02.07

Gebo Special Flanged Connector – a reliable installation element

The OF flanged connector from Gebo is a solid solution for repairing and extending steel pipelines. Its bilateral clamp ensures a secure and tight connection without the need for welding or threading, which translates to saving time and costs during installation and renovations. This product finds application in both water installations, compressed air, and fire pipelines.

This specific model, with a diameter of 2 1/2 inches and a threaded connection (male thread), is part of the Special series, characterized by high strength and durability. Made of ductile iron, hot-dip galvanized and electro-galvanized, it provides corrosion resistance and long-term operation even in harsh conditions. The massive construction allows operation at temperatures up to 80°C.

Construction and application

The OF connector from the Special series stands out for its versatility. Thanks to the bilateral clamp, it is ideal for connecting steel pipes of different diameters, as well as for repairing damaged sections of the installation. The flanged design facilitates assembly and screwing, especially in places with limited space. It can be used both in new installations and in the modernization of existing systems. Additionally, it equalizes the potential difference of the pipeline, minimizing the risk of electrochemical corrosion.

Benefits of use

• Quick installation: Eliminates the need for welding and threading, shortening installation time.
• Durability: Made of ductile iron with a zinc coating ensures corrosion resistance and long-term operation.
• Versatility: Suitable for steel pipes and for repairing existing water, compressed air and fire pipelines installations.
• Tightness: Clamping mechanism with a rubber sealing ring guarantees a tight connection.
• Strength: Designed to operate at temperatures up to 80°C and working pressure up to 10 bar (water and compressed air).
• Potential equalization: Minimizes the risk of electrochemical corrosion in the system.
• Easy servicing: Allows for quick replacement of damaged sections of the pipeline without the need to disassemble the entire installation.

This connector is a proven choice for both professional installers looking for a reliable solution and end-users wanting to perform repairs or extensions to the installation themselves.
