Sliding coupling GW Steel - 22 Rp3/4" 1509044020

Robust Steel Coupling for Demanding Installations

This sliding steel coupling with female thread (GW), diameter 22 Rp3/4", is a reliable solution for creating durable and secure connections in heating and water systems. Manufactured from high-quality carbon steel, it offers resistance to high pressure and temperature, making it ideal for use in KAN-therm Steel systems and other industrial installations.

Construction and Materials

The coupling is made from carbon steel and protected by zinc plating (Fe/Zn88) with an additional chromium layer, ensuring high corrosion resistance. The protective coating thickness is 8-15 µm, providing long-term protection against environmental factors. The O-ring seal further enhances the tightness of the connection.

LBP Function – Leak Before Press Connection Quality Control

A key feature of this coupling is the LBP (Leak Before Press) function. This means that if the connection is improperly pressed, a leak will occur immediately, clearly indicating an installation error. This simple yet highly effective solution minimizes the risk of failures and ensures system safety. Both installers and end users can therefore be confident in the correct operation of the system.

Application and Compatibility

The GW Steel coupling is designed for internal, closed pressurized systems: central heating, chilled water, process heat, and solar systems. It is compatible with the KAN-therm Steel system and can also be used in other installations employing steel pipes with appropriate parameters. The wide range of pipe and coupling diameters (from 12 to 108 mm) and operating temperature range from -35°C to 200°C make it a universal solution for diverse applications. The ability to connect with plastic systems further enhances its versatility.
