A complete range to meet your needs

PAM’s anchoring solutions are designed according to two different levels of performance, plus a supplementary range to cater for some specific situations.

Solutions for most common situations

Our solutions are based on the following anchoring techniques:

STANDARD Vi for pipes, DN60 to 700 and fittings
EXPRESS Vi and EXPRESS NEW Vi for fittings, DN60 to 300
The performance of these anchoring systems is suitable for the usual water distribution and supply requirements.

Solutions for high pressures and high hydraulic thrusts

Our solutions are based on the following anchoring techniques :

UNIVERSAL Vi for pipes and fittings, DN80 to 600.
UNIVERSAL Ve for pipes and fittings, DN80 to 1600.
PAMLOCK for pipes and fittings, DN1400 to 2000.
UNIVERSAL Vi offers the same simple fitting as the STANDARD Vi range but uses special double chamber fittings and pipes. This very practical solution caters for pressures higher than those withstood by STANDARD Vi.
UNIVERSAL Ve is designed for use at very high pressures or large diameters from DN700 to 1600 where massive hydraulic thrusts occur.
PAMLOCK is an extension of the UNIVERSAL Ve range for very large diameters from DN1400 to 2000.

Supplementary solutions

Our supplementary solutions are based on the following anchoring techniques:

STANDARD Ve for pipes and fittings, DN350 to 1200.
STANDARD V+i for fittings, DN350 to 600.

With the STANDARD Ve anchoring system, which provides performance close to those of the UNIVERSAL Ve range, the decision to anchor high-pressure pipelines can be taken on site. Pipes or fittings with STANDARD single-chamber joints can be installed by means of counter flanges or by adding a weld bead.

The STANDARD Ve and STANDARD V+i anchoring devices can also be used with UNIVERSAL Ve and Vi pipes, particularly at diameters of DN350 and 450, for which no UNIVERSAL fittings are currently available.

Anchored joint technology

The anchoring of ductile iron pipelines can be achieved using two technical solutions : insert type anchoring techniques and bead type anchoring techniques.
