Duct Coupler
The Gamson HDPE Duct Coupler is a high-performance mechanical fitting designed specifically to join two lengths of PLB Telecom Ducts. Its primary function is to provide a high-pressure, airtight, and watertight connection that can withstand the extreme internal air pressures used during the cable blowing process.
Key Features
- Duct Couplers as per TEC specifications: GAMSON Duct Couplers for HDPE Telecom Ducts are manufactured as per Telecommunication Engineering Centre (TEC) specifications. This assures that GAMSON Duct Couplers offer best performance, safety, and suitability for use in underground or aboveground HDPE Pipe installations for fiber optic cable, electrical cable or telecommunication infrastructure.
- 100% Virgin Grade Material: GAMSON Duct Couplers are made using 100% virgin grade raw material for maximum durability, strength, and long-term performance. No recycled material is used to assure best quality.
- Airtight & Watertight Leak-Proof Sealing: Engineered for airtight and watertight connections for completely sealing HDPE telecom duct connections, preventing dust, water, and air ingress. Ideal for safeguarding underground or exposed telecom duct systems from environmental damage.
- Tested for High Load and Pressure Durability: GAMSON duct couplers are tested to withstand loads upto 320 Kgf and, air pressure and water pressure upto 15 Bar. This ensures that the joint made using GAMSON Duct Coupler won't fail even under high-stress conditions.
- Precision-Fit Design for Easy, Secure Installation: The exact internal profile of GAMSON Duct Coupler locks the duct in place tightly, minimizing movement or loosening over time, providing a snug, secure, and vibration-resistant joint between two HDPE telecom ducts. It is designed to be also compatible for HDPE solid wall pipes and HDPE Permanently Lubricated (PLB) Ducts.

Installation Steps
- Preparation: Use the Duct Cutter to make a clean, square cut on the duct ends.
- Beveling: Use the Chamfering Tool to taper the outer edge of the duct. This prevents the sharp edge of the pipe from damaging the internal O-ring of the coupler.
- Insertion: Push the duct firmly into the coupler until it hits the internal stop or center bridge.
- Tightening: Tighten the compression nut by hand, followed by a half-turn with a Spanner to lock the grip ring in place.
Primary Applications
- Repair & Maintenance: Splicing new sections of duct into an existing line that has been damaged during excavation.
- Extending Network Reach: Joining multiple 500m or 1000m coils to create a continuous path for long-haul fiber runs.
- Transition Points: Connecting the main duct line to branch entries in manholes or handholes.
