For this kind of application, Iniziative Industriali offers a huge range of GRP Pipes and Fittings to satisfy the most various customer requests. All the products are manufactured in accordance to the International Standard such as BS, ASTM and AWWA.

The installation combines the well known advantages of the composite materials (chemical resistance, light weight, very long lifetime, etc.) with an extremely easy and quick way of laying, thanks to our bell & spigot joint.

OUR INSTALLATION METHOD

Iniziative Industriali uses the double O-rings bell and spigot technology (with or without Locking Device): this is the most easy, fast and safe method of pipeline installation. We can provide you with both plain ends and bell and spigot fittings, depending on the specific installation needs.

Iniziative Industriali can also provide you with special fittings, fully prefabricated in our shop in accordance to your requests and ready to be jointed.

TECHNICAL CHARACTERISTICS OF GRP AQUEDUCT PIPING SYSTEMS

Both pipes and fittings can be designed and verified for full vacuum, depending on the specific pipeline characteristics.

• Iniziative Industriali GRP pipes have in the bell end a threaded hole through which a small quantity of water can be injected in the cavity between the two O-rings: looking at the manometer it is immediately known if the joint is properly installed;

• GRP pipes need no protection against corrosion because the pipe materials are absolutely "corrosion proof" ;

• Thanks to their light weight and their long length, GRP pipes are installed in times shorter then those required for other materials. This means an higher efficiency in terms of manpower and equipment and a faster solution of social problems like the need for water;

• Thanks to the low internal roughness (25µm), which remains unchanged also after many years of operation, the GRP pipes have excellent hydraulic characteristics and provide economic advantages over other pipes material;

• GRP pipes, thanks to their chemical characteristics, are virtually maintenance free.

A WIDE RANGE OF FITTINGS

Continuous Elbows at various degrees; Concentric and Eccentric Reducers; Equal and Reduced Tees; Fixed Flanges; Stub Flanges provided with Steel or GRP backing ring; Blind Flanges; Caps;
