Type A

The Type A range, made of iron, was developed in the 1960s and is equipped with a safety system. It is used for transporting various substances such as sewage, sludge, dust, granular materials, and finds applications in irrigation, road construction, drainage, and civil projects.

Procedure for assembling Type A spherical
couplings with diameters from 150 to 250
Position the male coupling against the gasket housed inside the female coupling.
Position the short hook in the outer seat of the ring.
While holding the short hook in the outer seat of the ring, open the handle so that the long hook positions itself in the outer seat of the ring.
Finally, once ensuring that the male coupling is sufficiently aligned and does not risk damaging the gasket, close the handle to tighten the complete coupling.
Procedure for assembling Type A spherical
couplings with diameters from 300 to 400
Position the male coupling against the gasket housed inside the female coupling.
Position the short hook in the outer seat of the ring.
While holding the short hook in the outer seat of the ring, open the handle lever so that the long hook positions itself in the outer seat of the ring.
Finally, once ensuring that the male coupling is sufficiently aligned and does not risk damaging the gasket, insert the handle into the lever to tighten the complete coupling.

Technical Advice

For total safety against accidental openings, insert the cotter pin into the appropriate holes if present in the handle and long hook.

For new couplings, to close them more easily, it is recommended (especially for larger sizes) to lightly lubricate the gasket with a suitable lubricant.

Where specified, products are supplied with Hot-Dip Galvanizing coating according to UNI EN ISO 1461 standards.

Materials 

Steel couplings are predominantly produced in S235JR UNI EN ISO 10025-2005 (EX Fe360B UNI EN ISO 10025-1995).
