Choosing the Correct MaxiFit Coupler
Viking Johnson MaxiFit Couplers are selected according to the actual outside diameter of the pipe, not simply its nominal bore or stated pipe size.
Before ordering, measure the outside diameter of both pipes and ensure they fall within the specified tolerance range of the selected coupling. Different pipe materials and manufacturing standards can have different outside diameters, even when their nominal sizes are the same.
Installation Information
Ensure both pipe ends are clean, correctly prepared and suitable for mechanical jointing. Position the coupling over the pipe ends and tighten the bolts evenly to the manufacturer's specified torque.
Where required, provide suitable pipe restraint or anchoring, as standard MaxiFit couplings are not designed to resist axial pipe movement caused by internal pressure.
Important: Always refer to the manufacturer's installation instructions and technical data sheet for the correct outside diameter tolerance, pressure rating, bolt torque and application suitability.
