Seal Mechanism: They create a reliable, watertight seal without needing additional O-rings or seals, which eliminates potential stagnation points inside the pipe.
Installation Method: The process involves using a manual or hydraulic tool to "widen" or expand the end of the pipe. The pipe is then fitted onto the connector, and a sliding sleeve is pushed axially (along the length of the pipe) over the connection to tighten and secure it.
Durability and Performance:
They are known for being durable, maintenance-free, and capable of handling high temperatures and pressures.
They often provide greater water flow and reduced pressure drop compared to other connection types.
They are versatile enough for both above ground and underground installations.
