A method that hooks rake type bolt on socket edge and tights it with nut When assembling the gland, fitting on a bolt hole at socket side is not requiredWhen connecting a pipe, a force is concentrated to the center of a pipe ⇒ Much saferEasy to adjust the angle of a pipe before fixing bolt 
It is a method that is developed by U.S PIPE in U.SIt connects only with one circle type rubber ringSimple connecting process ⇒ Quick pipe construction,Possible to bury right after completion of connection

| Characteristic |
Wide bending width(extended excavation at joint) No need for bolt hole at socketPossible to work quickly at rockyand underwater areas since there is no need for fitting the pressure wheel and bolt holes of a socket Easy to disassemble the pipeEasy to use cutting pipe
|
Quick pipe burying is possible due to simple joint process No need for expended excavation at joint Cheap burying costPossible to connect even in raining condition once the ubber ring, water entry, and insertion entry are clean High flexibility on joint and safe on temperature change or disjoint |
