The flexible –connect ion and compensator combined

Axially flexible pipe connection for all pipe materials. There is significant added value in combining the connection of pipes and the simultaneous

compensation for axial movement. The joining pipe-ends are isolated as the coupling sealing gasket is only ever in contact with the pipe-ends and vibrations, sound and oscillations are therefore optimally absorbed. The broad range of potential applications in shipbuilding and in the offshore oil industry make GRIP-M a versatile, efficient and cost-effective solution and the ideal alternative to other pipe connection methods.

Our quality products – your benefit

The results of various endurance tests and inspections prove it and our customers’ satisfaction around the whole world reflects it every single day – GRIP pipe couplings can be trusted. They offer immense customer benefit, convince through practice-tested safety and consequent cost-effectiveness.

System independence: Connects the most varied pipe materials

Flexible pipe connection: Stress-free, compensates for tolerances

Easy assembly: Light, space-saving, no pipe-end preparation

Safe assembly without risk of fire or explosion: No protective measures required

Damping characteristics: Noise, vibration, movement

Economical: Cost-saving thanks to short assembly times

Progressive sealing effect

If the pressure in the pipe rises, the contact pressure on the sealing lips also

increases due to the flow through the pressure equalization channel.

Progressive anchoring effect

If the axial tensile load on the pipe rises due to increased internal pressure or

external influence, the teeth continuously penetrate deeper into the surface of

the pipe to compensate.
