About this product

Pit cast grey iron pipe in Class C and D runs oversized next to standard ductile iron ODs. ONE-LOK SLDM is sized for it, with the same wedge action as SLDE: hardened wedges grip the pipe, the gland bolts to the fitting, and the joint stays together under thrust.

Highlights

  • For pit cast pipe with Class C and D ODs; Class A and B take the standard SLDE
  • 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
