Mechanical Body Grip Ring fittings comprise a coupling casing, which houses an elastomer seal with integrated pipe gripping rings which bite into the pipe wall and resist axial movement of the pipe ends. Typically these fittings are manufactured from steel.
Mechanical Body Grip Rings are also referred to as Gasketed Mechanical Couplings, and they are used to join plain end pipes together. The fittings can be uninstalled and re-used again, providing a quick and easy, heat-free and demountable joining system.
