Shurjoint MODEL XH-70EP EXTRA HEAVY RIGID COUPLING
The Shurjoint Model XH-70EP coupling is an extra heavy rigid coupling for use with plastic coated pipe, cement-lined pipe or Sch. 40S or 80S stainless steel pipe. The coupling is capable of holding high pressure up to 2,500 psi (175 Bar) depending on pipe size when used in conjunction with machined EP cut-grooves and the applicable pipe. The coupling housings are painted black and supplied with an EP (End-Protection) gasket, which will permit a continuous connection of lined-surface of the pipe and also protect the pipe ends from corrosion. The standard EP gaskets are made of oil-resistant Nitrile compound.
XH-70EP couplings are not allowed to install on standard or commercial roll- or cut- grooved pipes. Pipe ends shall always be prepared with the EP Cut-Grooves which is shown in page 2.
Always use the XH-70EP coupling with an EP (End-Protection) gasket. Do not use a C-shaped standard gasket with a XH-70EP coupling.
Always fasten the bolts to the required torque.
