Tees with threaded connection

This special version of our pressure class-compatible tees enables a measuring device to be connected directly via an integrated pipe thread. Its compact dimen­sions mean the threaded connection is situated close to the pipeline. This reduces the space requirement and the instal­lation costs.

Tees with flange branch

In addition to the Reinert-Ritz tees, we offer the option of fitting the branch with a flange of your choice. For this purpose, the HP, special and VP flange versions are available. This allows the direct connection of acces­sories or the transition to other raw materials with a flanged joint, which makes instal­lation easier.

Tees

In addition to their full pressure-resis­­­tance, Reinert-Ritz tees for welding are charac­terised by a prolif­er­ation of variants and flexi­bility of design. This means that even uncon­ven­tional barrel and branch combi­na­tions can be achieved. This reduces both the space requirement and the laying costs, which reduces your project costs on a sustained basis.

Tee for hydrants

The DVGW-certified hydrant connection in the shape of a tee is charac­terised by flexi­bility, ease of instal­lation, and corrosion-resis­­­tance. A choice can be made between the flange joint and a BAIO® or spigot connection.

Fixed point

The robust fitting offers the possi­bility of fixing the freely lying pipeline and is designed to absorb increased axial forces. Fixing can enable the absorption of axial extension of the pipeline. Thus, piping systems can also be installed at places where there is no space for expansion bends.

End caps

Reinert-Ritz end caps are charac­terised by their sophis­ti­cated design. For full pressure resis­tance, these fittings have a relieving groove that evenly spreads pressure forces over the ground. The compact end cap can be butt welded even with building site tools.

Eccentric reducers

Reinert-Ritz offers reducers as a fully pressure-class-compatible solution with pipe diameters of up to 2,000 mm. These are available in both concentric and eccentric versions. In addition to a version for butt welding, a variant with a longer welding end is also available on request. This offers you individual options for completing your project.

Duckfoot bend for hydrants

For connecting hydrants away from or at the end of pipeline, a duckfoot bend can be used. The duckfoot bend is DVGW-certified and constructed in full conformity with the pressure class. It can be delivered with a flange, BAIO® or spigot connection and is also available as a variant with REINOGRIP push-fit couplers.

Cross for hydrants

For branching of the pipe network beneath a hydrant, a cross for hydrants can be used. This can be fitted with a flange joint, or a BAIO® or spigot connection. Moreover, all variants are available alter­na­tively with REINOGRIP push-fit couplers for even faster laying of the piping system.

The compact dimen­sions enable direction changes in the smallest possible space. The mechanical production guarantees precise and […]

Chamber liner

The manhole liner is cemented in the manhole wall and enables a pipeline to be routed into the structure in the form of a floating bearing. Sealing occurs against both the masonry and the pipeline. Instal­lation can be performed in new construction and also subse­quently. The pipeline can be relocated after the implementation.

Branch 45°, injection moulded

The Reinert-Ritz branches for welding are charac­terised by their high-pressure resis­tance. Branches less than 45° enable high flexi­bility when integrating them into a piping system. This is further increased through directly available reducers at the branch, which also makes the fitting compact and light. Branches at other angles are available upon request.

Technical paper: “Quick-Pig” for the munic­i­pality of Glattfelden 🇨🇭

In Glattfelden, a problem with deposits in the pipes has arisen. Patrick Frei, the municipality’s waste­water treatment super­visor in charge, decided to clean the pressure pipe and relies on the gentle pigging process. The biggest problem with pigging is that the pig has to be inserted into the pipeline, which means that the existing pipeline has to be dismantled and opened. This is a laborious process, which Frei was able to improve signif­i­cantly with the Quick-Pig pig trap.
