Anchoring the pipe to a concrete wall such as a manhole or tank.

Restraining the pipe to a gasket bell fitting to facilitate cross connection with other piping systems.

Blocking pipe movement after slip-lining.

KEY FEATURES ƒ Fits any PE pipe in the size range of 160-1600mm. ƒ Can be welded by any standard EF control box with barcode or manual input. ƒ Option including bolt hole securing point. ƒ Designed and tested to support 7000 LBS/3100 dN (kg) of axial force. ƒ Use multiple units to achieve required force restraint.
