Plasson Galvanised Backing Ring
The Plasson Galvanised Backing Ring is engineered to create a secure, leak proof connection in water mains and pressure pipe systems. Positioned behind the lip of a polyethylene stub flange, the steel ring provides a solid metal surface for bolts to pass through, pulling the joint tight against an adjoining valve, pump, or flanged pipe. The result is a reinforced, high pressure seal that holds firm where it counts most.

Built from mild steel with a galvanised coating, the backing ring resists rust and corrosion across a wide range of environments, -whether buried underground or exposed to the elements. This durability means fewer maintenance concerns and a longer service life, even in the most demanding pipeline installations.

Summary:

Used to bolt and clamp polyethylene flange fittings securely to another flange
Provides reinforcement and forces the flange faces together to create a robust, leak proof seal in water mains and pressure pipe systems
It provides a solid metal surface for bolts to pass through, allowing the joint to be pulled tight against an adjoining valve, pump or flanged pipe
The galvanised coating protects the mild steel backing ring from rusting
Can be used in above and below ground pipelines

Applications:
Commonly used in;

Mains water distribution networks; pumping stations and water treatment facilities to create leak free and pressure joints
Gas distribution pipelines; used to join pipe sections where reliable, long lasting structural reinforcement is required
Industrial & process piping
Agriculture & irrigation systems
