Sure-Loc Piping System
The Sure-Loc piping system is ideal for the installation of submersible pumps in water wells. The innovative pipe work mating arrangement makes the installation of borehole pumps much simpler, with less effort for the drilling contractor installing borehole pumps.
It uses an innovative locking arrangement to hold the joint intact under tensile load, while the external ribs resist torsion forces, such as the torque generated when the pump starts and stops.
The Sure-Loc system has self-aligning ribs in the pipe and grooves in the socket to allow high-strength nylon splines to be inserted forming a circumferential joint that locks the socket to the pipe and to make doubly "sure to loc" there is a second spline at each joint.
Like-wise to disassemble, simply remove the splines to unmake the joint.
Sure-Loc riser pipe is designed and manufactured to conform or exceed the performance requirements of ASTM specification D1785 schedule 80.
The initial cost of the Sure-Loc riser pipe combined with a long life (it will not rust) makes Sure-Loc the product of first choice for installation of submersible pump installations within water abstraction wells.
The system is also popular for temporary pump installations for clearance pumping, test pumping of water wells and for temporary dewatering systems on construction sites.
The Sure-Loc pipe work covers the range from 1.25" up to 8" and is economical compared to conventional metal riser pipes and heavy duty layflat hose currently available in the market.
