FLARED-END CONCRETE PUMP LINE
Alternative to Grooved Ends

With the Concrete Pump Manufacturers Association pending ruling to eliminate grooved ends by Sept. 2003, this new flared-end concrete pumping system can be used as a safer, stronger alternative, says the maker. It offers more than twice the amount of engagement at the coupling than grooved-end systems. Its unique gasket design allows higher working pressure, while thicker walls and heat-treated components extend the life of the system. It is available with 1.5 or 2-in. flared-end style gaskets.
