ONE-LOK™ Series SLCS for PVC Pipe

Features & Advantages:

1) The SIGMA ONE-LOK Series SLCS is a mechanical joint restraining gland that implements a series of individually activated wedges into the mechanical joint follower gland. When the wedge segment is engaged by the actuating bolt, the primary contact edges of each wedge segment lock onto the pipe wall. This action causes the primary contact edges to grip the pipe and effectively restrain all classifications of AWWA C900, C909, and ASTM D2241 IPS size PVC pipe. 2) ONE-LOK SLCS's precision contoured wedges provide proper contact and support of the PVC pipe wall. Each wedge is manufactured with an elongated contour that evenly matches the outside circumference of each nominal diameter of PVC pipe. 3) ONE-LOK SLCS's wedge actuating bolt provides the installer with two visual torque indicators. The breakaway top and secondary shoulder stop ensure proper engagement of the wedge segment at the time of installation. Unlike other actuating bolts, the ONE-LOK SLCS is manufactured with a proprietary quality control system that ensures the breakaway tops will activate at the correct torque. The breakaway top is sized to match the same dimensions of the bolts and nuts used to assemble the mechanical joint fitting and follower gland, eliminating the need for special installation tools. Once engaged, the actuating bolt leaves a residual hex-head shank, allowing post-installation disassembly of the restrained joint, if necessary. 4) ONE-LOK SLCS also features a non-corrosive, two-piece ABS plastic spacer that is removed when using the product to restrain IPS sized pipes meeting ASTM D2241. The two-piece design of this spacer allows it to be removed without requiring disassembly of the product. When the ONE-LOK SLCS is used to restrain pipes meeting AWWA C900, the spacer is left intact on the actuating bolt. 5) ONE-LOK SLCS's unique wedge segment and actuating bolt design allows the two components to interface using a cam action principle, allowing the wedge segments to rock and increase their grip on the pipe wall as thrust on the assembled joint increases. This also allows improved resistance to subsidence, seismic forces, and other movement within the maximum deflection limitations of the mechanical joint under applicable AWWA standards. SIGMA ONE-LOK SLCS's can be used on all pressure classes and thicknesses of PVC pipe
