New ‘no leak’ sliding sleeve jointing system: ULTRA SLIDE BY SAGIV – the ultimate sealing solution
It’s one of the biggest innovations to come along in years. Sagiv- New Horizons introduces the Ultra Slide, a complete sliding sleeve jointing system that goes beyond conventional engineering to deliver an evolutionary milestone in design: a single step, time saving, no leak, universal pipe fitting system for residential hot and cold water distribution.
Imagine a pipe fitting with built-in protection against installation failures!
With the Ultra Slide patented single step system, a single tool performs a single motion, saving up to 50% on installation time, with no revisits necessary. There’s no need for calibration, pre-expansion or beveling, and flawless performance is guaranteed over numerous thermal cycles.
“We expect a big buzz about the Ultra Slide at the upcoming MCE expo, because until now, problems with expansion fittings for the plumbing industry have not been properly addressed” says Jacob Inbar, CEO of New Horizons, Sagiv’s International Operations for marketing the UltraSlide. “Professionals in the industry know that for years, sealing solutions for sliding sleeves and expansion fittings weren’t very practical. But the Ultra Slide has surpassed those problems with its perfect no ‘O’ ring solution”.
The innovative ‘Dry Forever’ sealing solution that’s ‘O’ ring free
The Ultra Slide sliding sleeve jointing system uses a special radial tightening process for a ‘no leak’ durable radial grip, and features new generation brass fittings with special polymeric sleeves. Since the Ultra Slide is ‘O’ ring free with standard multi-layer pipes, it virtually eliminates all the problems associated with ‘O’ rings.
Convenient and economical universal pipe fitting design
The Ultra Slide suits all standard pipes – PEX, butt welded and overlapped AluPEX, EVOH PEX and Alu-PE-RT, a nd also enables a wide tolerance to non-uniform pipe profiles. The Ultra Slide system helps increase flow capacity, because the fitting has almost the same diameter as the pipe, so it doesn’t inhibit flow. Because the same tool and fittings are applicable over a wide range of pipe types and sizes, the Ultra Slide can help reduce stock levels.
“The Ultra Slide has already generated an enthusiastic response from a number of major pipe manufacturers who will be attending the exhibition,” continues Jacob Inbar. “And we are actively seeking to partner with plastic pipe manufacturers (PEX or Multi layer) and/or regional distributors who are serious about offering the next generation pipe fitting solution for residential hot and cold water usage”.
You’re invited for a unique demonstration at the Ultra Slide Booth – V33 Hall (PAD) 11, at the MCE Expo: March 23rd-27th 2010 at the Fiera Milano Exhibition Centre Rho, Italy.
