PVC pipes have for many years been used for potable water
pipes.
Cast iron was widely used in water and gas systems in the past
materials for water networks. Normally there are very few leak
problems and very often the leaks are due to external damages
such as digging. When repairing PE pipe systems the part to be

The AVK Rewag series 729 is a widely used clamp when dealing
with leaky pipes or complete ruptures in the pipe system. The
clamp construction ensures a cost effective and reliable
solution for quick repairs of pipes in any pipe material. The
clamps can be used for permanent repair of punctures,
longitudinal and circumferential cracks.
The functional principle of the repair clamp rests on a stainless
steel, pre-rolled plate, which is clamped round the pipe and
fastened with lugs and nuts. The clamp has a rubber lining. The
tensile force applied by the clamp fastening is converted to a
radial pressure on the rubber lining.
AVK offers stainless steel clamps in following variants:
Single band, standard or with threaded outlet. To be used
exclusively as repair clamp and/or as tapping saddle due to
the outlet. This type is recommended for cost effective repair
on primarily pipes where small tolerances are required.
Diameter range from 48 mm to 360 mm.
Main areas of use are for water, gas and sewage covering a
temperature range from -30 C to +110 C.
The repair clamp is made of stainless steel AISI 304 with teflon

The AVK Universal couplings are used for mechanical assembly of pipes. Quick and easy assembly
of different pipe materials and different outside diameters is possible using only one coupling
suitable for all types of piping materials including cast iron, ductile iron, PVC and asbestos cement.
The system includes adaptors that can be connected to any flanged object, valves or pipes.
In renovation or repair situations the flexibility of the Supa Coupling System facilitates a fast
assembly of the needed AVK product and the operation can be commenced with short notice.
The system includes:
Series 601 universal Supa coupling DN 40-400 PN 16 and series 602 universal stepped Supa
coupling: accepts angular deflection of 8 degrees in total
Series 603 universal Supa adaptor: accepts angular deflection of 4 degrees in total
The unique gasket design of EPDM (DVGW/KTW approved) for water with moulded ribs ensures
that any minor imperfection in the pipe is absorbed by the gasket thus securing a safe mounting
on all pipe materials regardless of size and condition of the pipeline.
The coupling features a maximum tolerance of up to 26 mm on the pipe diameter. Sleeve and
brackets are in ductile iron GGG-40 with epoxy coating to DIN 30677. Bolts/nuts are of mild steel
with rilsan coating, alternatively stainless steel. The use of high quality materials ensures long life
time of the coupling.
Mounting instructions
1. Excavate pipe allowing
sufficient clearance to fit the

The AVK universal supacollar repair Fitting series 52 consists of two identical halves fitted with
rubber seals. Only four bolts are used on all sizes to seal and tighten the fitting. This ensures an
easy and very convenient installation process.
The universal tapping tee/universal collar has a unique sealing system consisting of:
rubber coated triangular bars sealing along the pipe.
a rubber gasket encircling the pipe effectively.
The tapping tees are available with branch outlets from 80 mm and up to the
diameter of the main pipe itself max. 300 mm. On the tapping flange a shut-off valve can be
mounted directly in order to drill under pressure.
The universal collars with 1/2" - 2" threaded holes are suitable for use as tapping saddles. The
universal supacollar repair system is suitable for repairing all types of leaks under pressure. If the
pipe is completely broken, a maximum 4 angular deviation of the pipe ends can be covered. The
coupling is designed to meet the requirements of British Gas BG/PS 8, part 4.
Mounting instructions
1. E xcavate pipe allowing sufficient clearance
to fit the repair clamp.
2. Clean area of pipe where the fitting is to be
installed.
3. Measure and check diameter of pipe against
toleance of fitting.
4. Lubricate area of pipe where fitting is to be
installed. Use soap based lubricant or
similar.
