Type C

The Type C range, born in the 1970s-80s, fully interchangeable with the Cardan-Perrot coupling, is made of iron and stainless steel. The entire range is equipped with a safety locking system. It is used for the transport of various substances such as drinking water, sewage, sludge, cement, compressed air and finds application in the field of irrigation, drainage, civil projects, tunneling, in the food sector, in the mining industry, in the pharmaceutical industry and in the chemical industry.

Procedure for assembling Type C spherical couplings.

Position the male coupling against the gasket housed inside the female coupling.

Position the short hook in the outer seat of the male.

While holding the short hook in position in the outer seat of the male, open the handle so that the long hook is positioned in the outer seat of the male.

Finally, once it is ensured that the male coupling is sufficiently aligned and there is no risk of damaging the gasket, close the handle to tighten the complete coupling.

Technical advice

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

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

Materials

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

Stainless steel couplings are made of X5CrNi18-10 UNI EN 10088 (AISI304).

Products, where specified, are supplied with Hot Dip Galvanizing coating according to UNI EN ISO 1461 standards.
