Applications:
The Derwent Industries Thrust Connectors are used as a restraint point on pipelines and can be affixed at desired points where thrusting is required to restrain the pipeline, such as change of direction, change in pipe size or to assist in reducing stress on valves when opening and closing. Thrust restraints also assist in preventing 3rd party interference with the integrity of the pipeline when excavating close to existing main. Varying soil conditions may also affect pipeline stability, so addition of thrust points assists integrity.
