NORMA Group introduced multifunctional pipe connector NORMACONNECT VARIO PIPE

Maintal, Germany, 25-9-2013 — /EuropaWire/ — NORMA Group, an international market and technology leader for engineered joining technology, has added the multifunctional pipe connector NORMACONNECT VARIO PIPE to its Infrastructure product offering. VARIO PIPE can be used to join drainage pipes of different outside diameters and materials, especially in canal and nderground
construction.

“We are continuously expanding our product range for our customers from the construction and infrastructure sector,” says Bernd Kleinhens, Board member Business Development. “One of the challenges when repairing underground installations is to replace pipes with sections of pipe made of other materials and with different outside diameters.With VARIO Pipe, we are offering an innovative connecting solution that is tailored to the special requirements of sewer and underground construction.”

The VARIO PIPE connector joins different drainage pipes with outside diameters ranging from 100 to 1,080 millimetres securely and at the same level. In such applications, the connector can bridge even large differences in diameter of up to 70 millimetres without displacing the connecting pipe.
NORMACONNECT VARIO PIPE can be installed quickly and easily without the need for additional materials such as compensation rings. The connector is produced without welding, so it is less susceptible to corrosion. It is also suitable for non-standardised application areas. NORMA Group markets VARIO PIPE in Europe, North and South America as well as Asia-Pacific.
