No-Hub Couplings

No-hub couplings are engineered to connect no-hub cast iron pipe in plumbing and drainage applications, providing a reliable, code-compliant alternative to traditional hub-and-spigot joints. The coupling features a patented shield design that ensures maximum transfer of clamping pressure from the stainless steel clamps to the elastomeric gasket and pipe surface, delivering a positive, leak-free seal.

Features

Patented Bi-Directional Shield Design

The coupling shield is engineered with a patented bi-directional corrugation pattern that adjusts to accommodate a variety of pipe diameters and circumferences — effectively eliminating potential leak paths. The corrugation seals pressure in both parallel and transverse patterns against the gasket and pipe surface, providing a positive and reliable seal under varying installation conditions.

Cast Iron-to-Cast Iron Connection

No-hub couplings offer a long-lasting, code-approved method for connecting cast iron pipe to cast iron pipe — without the need for a traditional hub-and-spigot joint. This simplifies installation, reduces labor time, and provides flexibility in system design and modification.

Specially Beaded Gasket

Meeting the requirements of ASTM C564, the beaded gasket is manufactured from a high-performance elastomeric compound featuring strategically positioned grooves and beads along its inner surface. When the clamps are tightened, the shield seats into the grooves, creating multiple sealing lines that deliver exceptional sealing pressure and holding power — even under differential movement or thermal cycling.

Interlocking Clamp Design

The stainless steel clamps feature a one-piece screw housing that mechanically interlocks with the band. This design eliminates the leak paths that can occur in staked or welded clamp constructions, ensuring a structurally superior and leak-resistant clamp assembly.

Floating Eyelet Design

The floating eyelets fasten the clamps to the shield while allowing the clamp, band, and shield to move independently of one another. This freedom of movement prevents the shield from crimping or distorting during installation and under load — a common cause of future leakage in rigidly attached shield designs.
