More and more utility companies around the world get acquainted with their very first MULTI/JOINT® big-sized fitting DN625 – DN825 (Big 5 family) for their water applications. Switzerland is no exception. Carmine Bencivenga, Product Manager, GF Switzerland, saw the big fitting being lifted into the trench and installed.
Benci, can you say something about this installation?
On March 3, 2021, the premiere took place in the very heart of Zürich: the first large and new MULTI/JOINT® Big 5 fitting was installed in Switzerland. This gem was a DN825 flange adaptor, the biggest available dimension within the new MULTI/JOINT® series. As a longterm partner of Stadt Zürich Wasserversorgung (waterworks of Zürich), GF Piping Systems was willing to take the challenge for the project.
Why was it a challenge?
The challenge was the very narrow spaces and large pipe diameters. The criteria of this project included that the fitting needed to be wide range and restraint. The focus was on restraint. The MULTI/JOINT® fulfilled all these criteria. This new fitting is not only convincing in size and versatility, but it is also easy to install. The installation was a big success!
