  • Plastic Pipe Internal Restraint Joints

HydroGrip Series

Formerly known as RieberLok, HydroGrip gaskets are internal restraints designed for PVC applications. Engineered with metal teeth embedded in the rubber to lock the gasket in place, HydroGrip converts a conventional joint into an internal restraint joint, eliminating the need for bolt-on harness restraints, clamps, thrust blocks, or other external or internal restraint technology on your PVC piping systems. Combined with the ease of installation, HydroGrip provides significant savings in installation time and material cost.

    Thanks, Hultec for partnering up with Jet Stream and allowing us to enter the restraint joint market with the HydroGrip for C900 and IPS PVC pipe. The twenty plus year relationship we have had with Hultec, formerly S&B, has allowed us to stay a strong competitor in the PVC market.
