GF Piping Systems welcomes the new Big 5 restraint fittings to its MULTI/JOINT® 3000 Plus family. The proven repair and maintenance solution for water applications can prevent water loss for utilities and is suitable for all pipe materials. Thanks to new innovations, the patented gripping and sealing system of MULTI/JOINT® now allows restraint connections up to 10 bar working pressure in sizes DN625 – DN825, without compromising the 50 years life expectancy.     

The new bigger MULTI/JOINT® 3000 Plus fittings offer a quick, safe, and simple repair solution for water distribution grids. They have easily accessible bolts and can easily be installed without special tools in just ten minutes. There is no need for disassembly, thanks to the one-piece stab-fit principle.
