Romac 248-04 Mechanical Joint Restraint Pack 4 Inches

Product Description

The ROMAC 248-04 is a lug-style pipe restraint accessory pack designed to provide positive mechanical joint restraint in waterworks and sewer pipeline systems. Manufactured from ductile iron conforming to ASTM A-536 Grade 65-45-12, this pack fits 4-inch pipe and is rated for a maximum working pressure of 525 psi. A shop coat is applied to the casting at the factory to protect against corrosion during transit and storage. The T-head screw design facilitates proper engagement and even load distribution around the joint. This component is NSF 61 Annex G certified, making it appropriate for use in systems where material safety standards are required. Licensed plumbers and waterworks contractors are the typical installers.

The ROMAC 248-04 is used in 4-inch mechanical joint piping applications in municipal water and sewer infrastructure. It is suited for both new construction and rehabilitation projects where joint restraint is required to resist thrust forces at fittings, valves, and directional changes. The accessory pack format provides the necessary hardware for a complete restraint installation at a single mechanical joint location. Sewer and waterworks applications are the primary use cases as noted by the manufacturer.
