Shear Banded Drain Coupling Data Sheet
Shear-banded clamps provide increased gripping strength and resistance to loosening compared with standard clamp bands, ensuring that the joint remains airtight and watertight even when subject to vibration, ground movement and temperature variation. The flexible rubber body compensates for slight pipe misalignment and allows smooth transitions between mixed materials such as PVC, clay, concrete and cast iron pipework.
The SC185s tool-friendly installation helps reduce labour time and disruption on site, while its rugged construction stands up to environmental stress and heavy use. Whether used for commercial, industrial or infrastructure drainage applications, this coupling provides a dependable, high-performance joint that installers can rely on.
