Tracpipe Straight Coupling

Tracpipe Gas Pipe Straight Coupling Fittings

Tracpipe AutoFlare 12mm straight couplings are used to connect two lengths of flexible gas pipe.

No threading, welding or hot-work is needed and no special tools are required. To join Tracpipe simply cut the pipe with a standard pipe cutter, use a utility knife to strip the outer covering of the pipe, connect the fitting and tighten it using two spanners. The fitting is self-flaring & self-piloting to form a gas safe leak free joint when tightened to the correct torque.
All Autoflare fittings are manufactured in brass they are BS 7838 Approved, Tested by Advantica and BSI Kitemarked they conform to all Gas Industry Standards in the U.K.

Jointing flexible gas pipe with Autoflare fittings

Each AutoFlare fitting uses back nut and 2 split rings.

Simply slide the nut back over the cut pipe end, the two split rings will be aligned with the first corrugation of the pipe. Slidethe nut forward to trap the split rings.

Align the AutoFlare fitting with the back nut and hand tighten the threads then use an appropriate spanner size to tighten the fitting until it is tight.

Torque should be applied similar to that used when as making up a flared pipe joint.
