Our offer of Krausz USA Hymax Couplings

At our warehouses in Rochester, Avoca, and Watertown, we carry HYMAX products designed for water, wastewater, utility, and industrial applications. Our current online selection includes options for joining pipes across different materials, outside diameters, and field conditions.

Hymax Grip Coupling Restraint

For applications where crews need both joining and restraint, HYMAX Grip coupling restraint provides a stab-fit design with radial gripping technology that helps prevent pipe motion. This Hymax Grip coupling comes with 4-inch, 6-inch, and 8-inch options, universal gripping teeth for metal and plastic pipes, a durable ductile iron body, 4° dynamic deflection per end, and a patented hydraulically assisted gasket with two-stage sealing.

Krausz Hymax Coupling

The Krausz HYMAX coupling is part of the Hymax 2000 line, which is suited for a wide range of pipe joining conditions. Blair Supply lists several sizes online, including 1.25-1.5 inch, 2-2.5 inch, 3 inch, 4 inch, 6 inch, 8 inch, 10 inch, 12 inch, and 16 inch options. This line can join pipes with diameter differences up to 1.30 inches, handle pipe end gaps up to 7.5 inches, and accommodate angular deflection up to 8 degrees, while its stab-type design allows installation without disassembly.

When should you choose HYMAX Grip instead of a standard HYMAX coupling?

The restrained grip model is a better fit when the connection also needs to help control pipe movement. This can be important in water, wastewater, and utility applications where movement at the joint could create future issues.

The standard Hymax repair coupling may be the better choice when the main goal is to join compatible pipe ends across the listed OD range. If you are looking to order one, first confirm whether restraint is needed, then check the pipe material, OD, pressure needs, and installation conditions before ordering.

What is the difference between a HYMAX 2000 coupling and a HYMAX 2 coupling?

Both products are designed to connect pipes across a range of outside diameters, helping simplify installation and reduce the need to stock multiple coupling sizes. However, each product has its own specifications, compatibility requirements, and intended applications, making it important to review the manufacturer’s guidelines before selecting a model.

If you’re comparing a HYMAX 2000 coupling with a HYMAX 2 coupling, consider factors such as pipe material, outside diameter range, pressure requirements, and project conditions. Our team can help review those details and point you toward the appropriate option for the application.

Can HYMAX couplings be used when pipe alignment is not perfect?

HYMAX couplings are designed to help accommodate certain field conditions, including angular deflection and pipe movement within the product’s listed limits. This can be useful when crews are working with older infrastructure, mixed pipe materials, or repair situations where the pipe ends are not perfectly aligned.

Before choosing a Krausz Hymax coupling, confirm the pipe material, outside diameter, gap, pressure requirements, and allowed deflection for the specific listing. If you are not sure whether the application fits, our team can help review the details before you place an order.

How long will a pipe repair clamp last?

The lifespan of a repair clamp varies depending on the manufacturer. Krausz USA is a pipe-repair industry leader which boasts membership in AWWA, WASDA and NRWA, to name a few. Krausz USA offers a wide range of products and materials, including the highly efficient HYMAX family.

Hymax repair clamps come in two varieties:

• HYMAX CLAMP Wraparound Repair Clamp
• The new HYMAX Tapped Clamp.

When properly applied, these industrial-grade repair clamps will match the rest of the plumbing structure in terms of life span and functionality.

What can HYMAX pipe repair clamps be used for?

HYMAX CLAMP Wraparound Repair Clamp is a stainless steel repair clamp for all types of pipes, including:

• steel pipes,
• copper pipes,
• asbestos cement pipes,
• cast iron pipes and

These wide-ranging clamps are suited for repairing longitudinal cracks in water and wastewater pipes, as well as pipe holes.

HYMAX Tapped Clamp is a new product, designed to connect to other applications off the main, underground and above ground.
