1 SUBMITTAL STANDARD Date Architect Project Contractor Engineer PROFLO patented No-Hub Couplings are engineered to connect no-hub cast iron pipe in applications replacing the lessefficient hub & spigot material. The couplings consists of an elastomeric compound gasket (ASTM C-564) housed inside a 301 stainless steel corrugated shield. Depending on the size of the shield, (2) or (4) 301 stainless steel clamps surround the shield and provide the sealing force. The 5/16 hex-head screws are made from 305 stainless steel. The PROFLO Standard No-Hub Couplings are available in sizes ranging from 1 1/2 10. The couplings are designed for installation torque of 60 in-lbs. The entire coupling is corrosion resistant.

Conforms to ASTM C1277. The Gasket Made from high-quality elastomeric compound (ASTM C-564), the PROFLO No- Hub gasket features multiple sealing beads under the clamp bands. The sealing beads on the gasket impede the movement of the gasket and pipe, providing a positive, reliable seal. The Shield thick type 301 stainless steel shield requires less band load to transfer pressure to the gasket, leaving more clamping load in reserve to compress the gasket. The patented, bi-directional corrugations create clamp sealing pressure in both parallel and transverse patterns on the gasket and pipe, thereby avoiding pull-out failures, and providing a positive, reliable seal. The Clamps Standard 301 stainless steel clamps and 5/16 hex-head 305 screws provide the sealing force. 1-½ through 4 couplings use two (2) clamps; 5 through 10 couplings use four (4) clamps. The entire assembly is corrosion resistant. 04/03/07 BB

Shield thickness Gasket: The gasket is made of an elastomeric compound that meets the requirements of ASTM C-564. The PROFLO patented No-Hub Coupling has been engineered to provide an all stainless steel coupling; balancing the desire for a more rigid joint with the need to provide a superior, positive, reliable seal which can accommodate possible disparities in the mating of No-Hub pipe and fittings. The 1-1/2, 2, 3 and 4 diameter couplings consist of a 2 1/8 wide bidirectional, corrugated 301 stainless steel shield in conjunction with two (2) stainless steel clamps mounted in a series, secured in place by means of fixed and floating eyelets to allow the clamp travel during tightening. The 5 and 6 couplings consist of a 3 wide corrugated 301 stainless steel shield in conjunction with four (4) clamps and the 8 and 10 coupling consists of a 4 wide corrugated 301 stainless steel shield with four (4) stainless steel clamps. All PROFLO standard no-hub couplings are designed to be installed with a preset torque wrench calibrated at 60 in-lbs. to accommodate the 305 stainless steel 5/16 hex-head/shoulder screw. 04/03/07 BB

3 POLYCHLOROPRENE (NEOPRENE) GASKET With NSF Certified couplings, you can be assured the gasket component is made out of a properly vulcanized virgin compound where the primary elastomer is polychloroprene (neoprene). Polychloroprene withstands high liquid temperatures (up to 212 F), is fire and oil resistant, and resists decay and deterioration when exposed to effluents in the pipe, air or soil. SPECIALLY BEADED GASKETS The specially beaded gasket combines with the shield and clamping forces for superior sealing pressure and holding power. MECHANICAL INTERLOCKING CLAMP DESIGN PROFLO Couplings feature a one-piece screw housing that mechanically interlocks the housing to the band. This one-piece housing design eliminates leak paths that can occur in stacked or welded clamps. RECTANGULAR BAND NOTCHES With our rectangular notch design, there is a larger radius at either end of the rectangular notch, reducing the probability of stress cracking. There is also more solid band (land area) between the notches with a rectangular notch design. The greater the land area, the greater the band strength. FLOATING EYELET DESIGN Floating eyelets fasten the clamps to the shield, allowing the clamp band and shield to move independently. This freedom prevents the shield from crimping during tightening, which can lead to leakage. NSF CERTIFIED NSF International is the world leader in standards development and product certification. With this certification, you ll have peace of mind that the PROFLO Standard Couplings are fully certified to CISPI 310 and ASTM C564. Before the NSF certification, it was difficult to verify couplings were compliant with the CISPI 310 standard. Now just look for the blue NSF mark and you ll always be in compliance. CISPI 310, ASTM C564 AND ASTM C1277 PROFLO Standard Couplings are certified by all major plumbing code bodies throughout the U.S. and Canada, and conform to the most stringent industry standards: CISPI 310, ASTM C564, and ASTM C GRADE STAINLESS STEEL COMPONENTS Premium-grade stainless steel components provide superior corrosion resistance, reliability and durability over time in both above-ground and below-ground applications. TORQUE RATING Installation (60 inch-pounds) and Ultimate (75 inch-pounds) torque ratings are engineered to provide the clamps with enough tightening capacity to ensure that ample sealing pressure reaches the joint to affect a tight, secure seal Ferguson Enterprises, Inc.
