From 24 to 27 March, Berlin is this year again the meeting point
for everyone who wants to catch up on the latest trends and development in the field of water and wastewater management.
Some 700 renowned exhibitors will be attending. Look forward to
getting together with experts from all over the globe to exchange
opinions and ideas in an exciting and informative setting!
We look forward to welcoming you to our exhibition stand in Hall
1.2, Stand 117, where you can expect the following highlights:

KeraMat sleeve couplings type 2B with non-standard
dimensions
To complement our programme of original accessories, we take
pleasure in announcing the introduction of type 2B KeraMat sleeve
couplings in non-standard dimensions, which can be used for
coupling two spigots e.g. when retroactively installing junctions or
exchanging pipe sections. These sleeve couplings are made of a
special rubber-elastomer jointing ring (EPDM) fitted in a stainless steel jacket equipped with turnbuckles. Pipes with the same
internal diameter but different external diameters are fitted with
Keramat compensation elements at the factory. The lower side of
these elements is specially profiled to enhance the efficiency of the
joint.
KeraMat sleeve couplings with non-standard dimensions for pipes
with external diameters in the range of 190 mm to 1999 mm with a
width of 185 mm.

Now you can cover four specific areas of application at once with
just one intelligently constructed component. Until now, four different coupling designs have had to be kept in stock for connecting
normal-strength pipes with extra-strength ones.
