| The Z●LOK pipe to manhole connector is a flexible connector specifically engineered to produce a positive watertight seal for pipes entering precast concrete structures and the structure itself. The Z●LOK connector is manufactured to meet or exceed the requirements set forth in ASTM C-923-00 titled
“Resilient Connectors Between Reinforced Concrete Manhole Structures, Pipes, and Laterals.”
MATERIAL
The Z●LOK Connector is molded from an EPDM compound engineered to
conform with the requirements of section 4.1.1. of ASTM C-923.
Alternative compounds are available for unusual applications upon
special order.
All stainless steel hardware is in compliance with section 4.2,
“Mechanical Devices” of ASTM C923.
ADVANTAGES
- The Z●LOK Connector assures a positive watertight connection
and provides up to 25 degrees omni-directional deflection and 1.50"
of vertical or horizontal movement without loss of seal, providing
greater flexibility in the design and installation of pipelines and
structures.
- The inner rubber O-ring design eliminates rubber wrinkling,
compensates for pipe irregularity and wall thickness ensuring a
watertight seal.
- The unique bi-directional design permits the Z●LOK Connector
take-down clamp to be fastened from either inside or outside of the
structure. Once fastened, immediate backfilling is possible
enhancing project safety and overcomes the normal problems
encountered with water, running sand and other unstable trench
conditions.
- These design features of the Z●LOK Connector prevent
infiltration due to shear caused by settlement or ground movement.
