AVK Rewag preferred supplier of repair clamps in many areas of Romania

In Romania a connection to a new raw water line has been equipped with a flanged outlet repair clamp (FST) produced by AVK Rewag. A solution that is now recommended for similar projects.

To supply the lake and the fountain located in Zavoi Park, it was decided to have a new raw water line, instead of using a drinking water supply . The branched solution for an asbestos cement pipe (DN800) to a PE pipe (DN200) includes an AVK repair clamp with a flanged outlet (series 748, type FST DN200 ) as well as an AVK gate valve (series 06/30, DN200), both delivered by our Romanian partner Vestra Industry.

The contractor Vilforest decision to choose a solution from AVK Rewag was based on previous positive experiences with our products. The triple band repair clamp with flanged branch outlet, type FST is a high-quality solution to add a flanged connection to a pipe. The repair clamps are provided with a waffle structured rubber gasket with rounded tops to create a fully circumferential seal. The stainless steel repair clamps are passivated to ensure an optimum corrosion resistance.

After the products were mounted and tested, the client was very pleased with the solution. In the past they had experiences with similar products from other suppliers, where the repair clamps with outlets did not assure a 100% tightness after mounting. So, they had their doubts, but after installation, the solution from AVK Rewag was approved and recommended for other future projects.

AVK Rewag is able to produce any non-standard repair clamp . We can support you by designing and producing all kind of solutions.
