1 Champion Couplings What s Happening In July MIFAB is pleased to promote our range of Champion No-Hub Coupling products, The Champion Series of couplings come in a wide range of options from shielded to transition, to meet every piping need. Whether connecting to cast iron, plastic, steel, lead, or copper, Champion Couplings provide a durable, lasting connection at any job site. Stainless Steel clamps give these couplings the added boost of strength to ensure a tight connection. MIFAB s Champion Series no hub couplings are designed and engineered to connect cast iron pipe and fittings together. MIFAB s flexible stainless steel shield provides adjustability to the installing contractor when working with cast iron pipe and fittings that are over or undersized to ensure a quality system and labor savings. MIFAB s MI-HUB Series is a regular duty no hub coupling tested and certified to the ASTM # C a, ASTM C564, CISPI and CSA B Standards and listed with IAPMO. They are also tested by Intertek Testing Services to CAN / ULC S smoke test. The MI-XHUB Series provides a more rigid joint connection than the MI-HUB Series because it has a wider shield and a greater number of stainless steel clamps. These additional clamps, which need to be torqued to 80/100 inch pounds, make a more uniformly rigid joint with the load supported at the outer edges of the coupling and the centerline of the joint. The additional clamps also increase the surface bearing contact between In The July Issue: the coupling and the pipe / fittings to reduce joint movement at high internal line pressures. In comparison, the industry s regular duty no Spotlight: hub couplings have two fewer clamps and are torqued only to 60 inch Champion Couplings 1 pounds.

3 MIFAB Matters - What s Happening at MIFAB This Month! A Satisfied BEECO Customer Writes We recently received the following testimonial letter from a satisfied customer regarding BEECO RPZ Backflow Preventers. It reads: Richmond Irrigation began using BEECO backflow prevention devices (primarily 1 RPZ s) in late fall of We have installed over 75 of these devices without any issues. As a matter of fact, we actually prefer these backflows over the other makes/models - for the following reasons: control valves have larger handle (as opposed to bow-tie handle typically used by other manufacturers) test cocks have built in fittings - ready for connection to backflow test kit test cocks have strong rubber boot protective cover - opposed to plastic caps that get lost overall length of the 1 RPZ device matches Wilkins - makes it easy to swap without changing in/out piping (prior to BEECO we were using Apollo - which has longer overall length that Wilkins) Please feel free to contact me by if you would like to discuss this in further detail. Sincerely, GILBERT TURNER A telling testimonial! Take note of these selling points when talking to customers about BEECO Backflow Preventers!
