Product detailsWhat it does, highlights and documents

About this product

Water under pressure pushes a push-on joint apart. ONE-LOK SLDEH holds it: an SLDE wedge-action gland grips the spigot, and high-strength, low-alloy rods tie it to a back-up ring seated behind the bell. The ring is a two-piece split ring through 42 in. and a C110 MJ gland at 48 in.

Highlights

  • High-strength, low-alloy steel restraining rods tie the gland to the ring
  • Contoured wedges spread the grip, protecting the pipe wall and cement lining
  • Cam action lets the wedges bite harder as thrust builds
  • Allows deflection during installation and settlement afterward, up to the listed deflection

Questions and answers5 questions buyers ask about SLDEH

Where do I find the price?

On SIGMA's price lists. Where an item is on a posted list, the View price list button near the top of this page opens it, and every posted list is on the Price Lists page. SIGMA sells through waterworks distributors, and your distributor sets your price. For contract pricing, ask your regional team.

Where is the submittal?

Below the Add to quote list button. The SLDEH submittal has the ratings, dimensions and harness parts by size; the SLDEH catalog, under Documents, has the sample specification and the install steps. Posted SIGMA submittals are also in the Submittals Library.

What makes up an SLDEH?

An SLDE wedge-action gland for the spigot, a two-piece split back-up ring for behind the bell, and high-strength, low-alloy restraining rods with nuts. Washer plates come with the larger sizes; Specifications lists them by size. At 48 in. the back-up ring is a C110 MJ gland.

SLDEH or SSLDH?

SLDEH goes on as the joint is assembled: the one-piece SLDE gland slides onto the plain end first. SSLDH uses a split wedge gland, so it fits push-on joints already in the line.

Can I use SLDEH on PVC?

No. SLDEH is for ductile iron pipe. For PVC, see PVC pipe restraints, or narrow it down with the Selection Tool.

Harness the joint, in four steps.

No special tools. Breakaway bolt tops show the crew when each wedge is set.

Clamp the back-up ring behind the bell.
Slide the SLDE gland onto the spigot.
Set the rods, then the wedges.
Draw the ring tight to the bell.
