NUCO V-Band Couplings are used to join together mating formed sheet metal or machined Flanges to provide a compact, dependable, economical and easily separable joint. Couplings are available in a variety or retainer sections, latch styles and diameter sizes. V-Band Couplings provide a fast method for joining tubing, pipe, component sections and covers of equipment such as filters, pumps and separators. The V-Band Coupling and Flange joint offers substantial time savings in assembly and disassembly compared to multiple bolted flange joints. This results in savings in cost, overall size, weight and convenience of assembly and disassembly.
