Sealing assembly joins plastic pipe with aluminum flanges

This company has extended its Roxtec Sleev-It product line (photo), which combines lightweight aluminum flanges with plastic pipe seals. These connectors are designed for use on offshore vessels and transport ships, where the low weight of aluminum makes it a valued material choice. The seals for aluminum structures are approved for both A-60 and A-0 fire-rated divisions. The waterproof version is also approved for 1-bar water-tightness and 0.67-bar gas tightness. — Roxtec International AB, Karlskrona, Sweden
