Tyton Joint Ductile Iron Pipe
The TYTON JOINT is simplicity itself. A single rubber sealing type joint that employs a circular rubber gasket assures a tight, permanent seal. This "push-on" type joint is simple to assemble and fast to install. Eliminates the need for bolts, nuts and glands. The rubber gasket fits the inside contour of the bell which seats the gasket. The plain end of pipe is beveled to further ease assembly.
TYTON JOINT pipe is highly recommended wherever there is a need for an easily assembled tight joint for ductile iron pressure pipe. It is particularly well suited for water or other liquid service. The TYTON JOINT is listed by Underwriters Laboratories, Inc.
SEAL The inside contour of the socket provides the seat for the gasket. This cast recess, with its cast retaining bead, secures the gasket in proper position as the beveled end of the pipe is pushed home. This places the gasket under compression, sealing the joint.
BEVEL EDGE
The plain end of this pipe is beveled to permit easy passage through
the gasket.
GASKET
This circular rubber gasket is the only required accessory and is furnished
with each length of TYTON JOINT pipe.
The gasket's functional shape assures a tight, permanent seal... assuring protection against high or low pressures.
