MODEL 7705 FLEXIBLE COUPLING

The Model 7705 Flexible Coupling is ideal for moderate pressure
pipeline applications where expansion, contraction and deflection
caused by temperature changes, seismic activity or other
vibrations are factors. The Model 7705 Flexible Coupling is
recommended for services up to 35 bar (500 psi) depending on
the size and schedule of the pipe being used. All Model 7705
couplings are comprised of two identical ductile iron housings
segments, EPDM rubber gasket and plated track bolts & nuts.
Housings segments are supplied with our standard painted
finishes, i.e. orange or RAL3000 red. Optional finishes such as
hot dipped zinc galvanized and custom epoxy coatings are
available.

MODEL 7705 MATERIAL SPECIFICATIONS

• Housing:
Ductile Iron to ASTM A536, Gr. 65-45-12, min. tensile strength
448MPa (65,000 psi).
• Surface Finish:
Standard painted finishes in orange or RAL3000 red.
… Hot dip zinc galvanized (Option).
… Epoxy Coatings in RAL3000 red or other colors (Option)
• Rubber Gasket:
To assure maximum life for the service intended, proper gasket
selection and specification in ordering is essential. Failure to
select the proper gasket compound may result in personal injury,
property damage, joint leakage or joint failure.
Grade “E” EPDM (Color code: Green stripe) Good for cold & hot
water up to +230oF (+110oC). Also good for services for water
with acid, water with chlorine, deionized water, seawater and
waste water, dilute acids, oil-free air and many chemicals. Not
recommended for petroleum oils, minerals oils, solvents and
aromatic hydrocarbons.
Maximum Temperature Range: -29oF (-34oC) to +230oF
(+110oC)*
*For hot water application between 200oF - 230oF extreme
caution should be used as the life of the gasket can be greatly
reduced by incremental increases in temperature. Additional
factors that affect gasket life and performance include
temperature, fluid medium (air, water, air with water… etc.) and
the continuous or intermittent use of the piping system. For
specific applications over 200oF (93oC), please consult Shurjoint
for recommendations.
… (Option) Grade “T” Nitrile (Color code: Orange stripe)
Recommended for petroleum products, air with oil vapors,
vegetable and mineral oils within the specified temperature
range. Also good for water services under +66oC
(+150oF).
Temperature range: -29 oC to +82 oC (-20 oF to +180 oF).
Do not use for HOT WATER above +66 oC (+150 oF) or
HOT DRY AIR above +60 oC (+140 oF)
… Other options: Grade “O” - Fluoroelastomer.
Grade “L” - Silicone.
For additional details contact Shurjoint.
• Bolts & Nuts:
Heat treated carbon manganese steel track bolts to ASTM
A449-83a (or A183 Gr. 2), minimum tensile strength 758 MPa
(110,000 psi), Zinc electroplated, with heavy-duty hexagonal nuts
to ASTM A563.

General Notes:
z Pressure ratings listed are CWP (cold water pressure) or maximum working pressure within the service temperature range of the gasket
used in the coupling. This rating may occasionally differ from maximum working pressures listed and/or approved by UL, ULC, and/or FM
as testing conditions and test pipes differ. For additional information contact Shurjoint..
z Maximum working pressures and end loads listed are total of internal and external pressures and loads based on Sch. 40 steel pipe with
roll grooves to ANSI/AWWA C606-97 specifications. For information on other pipe schedules contact Shurjoint..
z For one time field test only the maximum joint working pressure may be increased 1-1/2 times the figures shown.
z Warning: Piping systems must always be depressurized and drained before attempting disassembly and or removal of any components.
z Shurjoint reserves the right to change specifications, designs and or standard equipment without notice and without incurring any
obligations.
