Product detailsWhat it does, highlights and documents

About this product

Water under pressure pushes a push-on joint apart. ONE-LOK SSLDH restrains joints already in the line: a split ONE-LOK wedge gland grips the spigot, and all-thread rods tie it to a two-piece back-up ring that seats against the bell. Both rotate, so the rods line up easily.

Highlights

  • For upgrades and tie-ins to lines that were not properly restrained when they went in
  • Gland and back-up ring rotate for easy rod alignment
  • Contoured wedges spread the grip, protecting the pipe wall and cement lining
  • Cam action lets the wedges bite harder as thrust builds

Questions and answers5 questions buyers ask about SSLDH

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 spec sheet?

The button below Add to quote list opens the SSLDH spec sheet (November 2026): materials, sizes, pressure ratings, coating and deflection. The SSLDH catalog has the dimensions, the sample specification and the install steps. Posted SIGMA submittals are in the Submittals Library.

When do I use SSLDH?

To restrain a push-on bell joint that is already in the line. The gland and the back-up ring both come in two pieces, so they fit around pipe already in place. It suits upgrades and tie-ins to lines that were not properly restrained when they went in.

SSLDH or SLDEH?

SSLDH is for existing push-on joints. For new work, SLDEH uses a one-piece SLDE gland that slides onto the spigot as the joint goes together.

What is it rated for?

The catalog table lists 350 psi at 4 to 8 in., 300 psi at 10 to 16 in. and 250 psi at 18 to 36 in. Its sample specification calls for a rating equal to the working pressure of the pipe joint it restrains. The catalog also lists 42 in. at 200 psi; it is not on the current price list, so call 800.999.2550.

Harness an existing bell, in four steps.

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