Product Information

Full details

This Gebo pipe fitting connector is designed for plumbing professionals and DIY enthusiasts needing to seal holes, cracks, and corrosion spots on pipes. Its key benefit is providing a robust, two-part repair solution made from durable malleable cast iron. A potential caveat is the specific pipe diameter range it accommodates, requiring precise measurement for effective use. It features a male BSP thread for connection to existing threaded systems and a compression joint for attaching to plain-ended pipes, suitable for steel, PE, and other pipe materials.

Troubleshooting

Leak from compression joint after installation

Ensure the pipe diameter is within the 59.7-63.6mm range. Verify the compression ring, washer, and sealing ring are correctly positioned. Tighten the nut further, ensuring not to overtighten which could damage the pipe or fitting.

Difficulty threading the connection

Check that the 2" Inch BSP male thread is clean and free from damage. Ensure the female thread it's connecting to is also clean and properly aligned. Do not force the connection; ensure threads are mating correctly.

Fitting does not seal on a slightly out-of-range pipe

This fitting is designed for a specific pipe diameter range. Using it on pipes outside 59.7-63.6mm may result in a poor or non-existent seal. Consider using a different sized fitting or a repair method appropriate for the pipe's actual dimensions.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Provides a strong and durable repair solution.
  • Offers flexibility with both threaded and compression connections.
  • Suitable for a range of common pipe materials.
  • Designed for high-pressure and high-temperature applications.
  • Easy to install for trained professionals.

Cons

  • Requires precise pipe diameter measurement for the compression joint to work effectively.
  • Limited to pipes within the specified theoretical maximum working range diameter.
  • Malleable cast iron, while durable, can be heavy.
  • Not suitable for all pipe types or sizes outside the specified range.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup:

  1. Prepare the Pipe: Ensure the plain-ended pipe section is clean, free from debris, and cut squarely. Verify the pipe's outer diameter falls within the 59.7-63.6mm range.
  2. Position the Fitting: Slide the sleeve and nut onto the pipe. Place the compression ring and washer onto the pipe, followed by the NBR sealing ring.
  3. Assemble: Push the fitting body onto the pipe until it meets the sealing ring. Slide the compression components and nut up to the fitting body.
  4. Tighten: Tighten the nut firmly onto the fitting body. This compresses the sealing ring and the pipe into the fitting, creating a secure seal.
  5. Threaded Connection: Connect the 2" Inch BSP male thread to the corresponding female threaded component in your system.

Compatibility:

  • Pipe Materials: Compatible with steel, PE, and other pipe types that fit within the specified diameter range.
  • Thread Standard: Features a 2" Inch BSP male thread for standard connections.
  • Pressure/Temperature: Suitable for systems operating up to 16 bar and 90°C.

Care:

  • Inspection: Periodically inspect the fitting for any signs of damage or leakage, especially in demanding environments.
  • Cleaning: Clean the exterior with a damp cloth. Avoid abrasive cleaners that could damage the finish or internal components.
  • Maintenance: This fitting is designed for permanent installation and does not typically require regular maintenance beyond inspection. Ensure the surrounding area is kept clear of debris.
