Mechanical Joint Gasket is a type of single hardness compound gasket used for joining DI Pipes and fittings. The mechanical joint uses the basic principle of the stuffing box and gland. It was developed nearly 100 years ago especially for use in gas transmission lines but has since also been popularly used in water lines fittings. The joint has four parts: a flange cast with a bell; a rubber gasket that fits in the bell socket; a gland, or follower ring, to compress the gasket; and tee-head bolts and nuts for tightening the joint.
Used mainly with pipe fittings rather than pipe joints.
Joint assembly is labour-intensive but easy to do.
Gives a rigid and 100% leak-free joint.
Favourable for above-ground application.
Can sustain very high pressure and is thus widely used in the area of intermittent jerks and high-pressure demands.
