• The BullDog™ PVC pressure pipe integral joint restraint system is one of several products in S&B Technical Products’ line of joint restraint devices. It is primarily designed for use in open-trench construction of PVC pressure pipelines where pipe-to-pipe and pipe-to-fitting joint restraint is required. It can be used in both potable water distribution and transmission as well as in sanitary sewer force mains.

• This unique innovative restraint design can be used to restrain PVC pipe bell joints as well as fabricated PVC pressure fittings.

• Many years of engineering and design experience in integrated pipe sealing systems has been applied to the Bulldog™ joint restraint

• The BullDog™ is available for AWWA C900 PVC pipe. Available diameters include 4-inch through 12-inch.

• Our partnership with major PVC pipe manufacturers in North America will bring the BullDog™-equipped AWWA C900 PVC pipe to the contractor and municipal authorities.

• The BullDog™ is fully compliant with Underwriters Labora-tories and Factory Manual and meets or exceeds the requirements of ASTM, F-1674 (Standard Test Method for Joint Restraint Products) for Use With PVC Pipe.

Manufacturing:• The Buldog™ restraint system is installed during the PVC pipe belling

process, along with the Rieber C-900 gasket.

No Point Loading:• In non-serrated type restraint systems, the manual tightening of restraining

wedges into the walls of PVC pipes commonly causes point-loading on the pipe wall, weakening the pipe’s hydrostatic strength. This leads to problems in the long-term operation of the pipeline and can lead to leakage and/or pipeline failure. With the BullDog™, there is no point loading to worry about.

Easy Assembly:• Assembly of the BullDog™ joint is no different from the joining of the

traditional Rieber-gasket PVC pipe joint. There are no tools, external rods, clamps or bolts needed! The restraint mechanism is activated by simply pushing the spigot into the bell of the adjoining pipe equipped with the BullDog™.

No Potential for Human Error• The easy assembly method also takes out the human errors involved in the

installation of external joint restraint devices. There are no nuts and bolts to tighten and there are no correct torques to worry about. No longer will a Contractor be held responsible for a leaking restrained joint as a result of over-tightening or under-tightening nuts and bolts.

No Corrosion:• The minimal exposure of the BullDog™ joint restraint to the elements makes

it significantly less prone to corrosion than external joint restraint devices. There are no rods and harnesses to corrode! The gripper ring and the ring casing are coated with a patented coating system, AquaArmor®. The coating is a water-based, rubber-toughed phenolic resin that is NSF61 certified.

Meeting the Highest ASTM Standard:• The BullDog™ is designed and has been tested to meet or exceed the require-

ments of ASTM F 1674, Standard Test Method for Joint Restraint Products for Use With PVC Pipe.
