FAQ What does the ‘W5’ material designation mean for this Straub coupling?W5 indicates the highest grade of stainless steel used by Straub. Both the casing and the bolts/screws are made from 1.4404 / 316L stainless steel, offering maximum corrosion resistance, making it suitable for demanding environments like marine or chemical applications. Is this OPEN-FLEX 1L coupling pull-out resistant?No, the label clearly states it is ‘not pull-out-resistant’. This means the coupling joins the pipes securely but does not provide axial restraint. The pipes must be independently anchored to prevent them from pulling apart due to pressure, temperature changes, or external forces. What types of media is the EPDM gasket suitable for?The EPDM (Ethylene Propylene Diene Monomer) gasket is primarily designed for water applications, including potable water, wastewater, and industrial water. It also has good resistance to many diluted acids, alkalis, and ketones. However, it is not recommended for use with mineral oils, fuels, or solvents. profideals is not an authorized distributor, reseller or representative of the products featured on this website.
