PV-LOK™ SERIES PVPF

The Series PVPF is designed to restrain Fabricated PVC Fitting to PVC pipe. It is a harness type assembly that uses our industry accepted serrated clamping ring with a two piece back up ring that is beveled to sit comfortably behind the PVC gasketed bell.

PV-LOK restrainers are manufactured with an extended fitting rib along the outside surface of the clamping ring. This prevents the bolt head from rotating and allows the installer to secure the restrainer on the pipe with only one wrench. The anti-rotation feature makes installation of the PV-LOK faster and easier, especially on installations where access space is limited. The structural ribbing also increases the strength and performance of PV-LOK restrainers.

PV-LOK restrainers provide installation indicators that are cast on the clamping ring to simplify assembly and assure proper orientation of the directional serration-lock surface. We incorporate a "tab" on each restraining ear that faces the watermain fitting or additional clamping ring on pipe bell connections. In addition, we provide cast lettering on the opposite side of the ear -"NUT SIDE" - indicating the location of the restraining nut. All PV-LOK restrainers contain installation instructions which explain these features.

PV-LOK restrainers incorporate a series of machined (not as cast) interrupted serrations that effectively engage PVC pipe walls, to provide positive joint security and full support of the pipe. The directional gripping action maximizes restraint during increased line pressures such as those resulting from surges and water hammers.
