LORO-X Sealing Elements

Original LORO-X sealing elements guarantee a watertight and pressure-resistant LORO-X spigot socket connection

LORO-X sealing elements are optimally adapted to the contour of the LORO-X spigot socket connection in accordance with strict internal factory standards. For LORO-X steel drainage pipes, LORO-X composite pipes and LORO-XCL stainless steel drainage pipes, we recommend using only original sealing elements with the manufacturer's mark LORO. When consistently using all LORO-X system components, we guarantee the tightness of the LORO-X spigot socket connection.

DIN 1986-100 6.1.2 "Tightness of wastewater pipes and their connections: Wastewater pipes must be permanently tight under an internal and external overpressure of up to 50 kPa (0.5 bar) under the possible interactions between them and their environment." For higher pressure requirements, our safety clamps (galvanized steel / stainless steel) or safety brackets (DN 250 and DN 300) can be used.

At lower temperatures, we recommend storing the sealing elements at room temperature for easier installation.

EPDM

Ethylene Propylene Diene Monomer

LORO-X sealing elements made of EPDM offer good ozone resistance. Due to their grey colour, they are also suitable as design sealing elements for hot-dip galvanized downpipes.

• Suitable: Good swelling resistance with detergent solutions, ketones, dilute inorganic and organic acids, bases, alkaline and organic media, brake fluid, chlorine, esters, glycol, sodium, phosphates and soda.
• Not suitable: Poor swelling resistance with vegetable and animal oils, aliphatic, aromatic and chlorinated hydrocarbons, mineral oils. For fuels and oil, please use NBR.
• Temperature resistance: Continuous use from -40°C to 130°C, in hot water and steam up to 130°C.
