Robar Industries Ltd.: A Proudly Canadian Leader in Waterworks Fittings and Couplings

Robar Industries Ltd. is a well-respected Canadian brand specializing in high-quality waterworks fittings, couplings, repair clamps and saddles. Since its establishment in 1958, Robar has been at the forefront of innovation, supplying essential components for water and wastewater management systems across North America and beyond.

Extensive Product Line

Robar Industries provides a comprehensive range of waterworks fittings and couplings, including:

Couplings – Engineered to join and repair pipes in water, sewage, and industrial applications. Available in stainless steel, carbon steel, ductile iron, and rubber, Robar couplings accommodate various pipe materials and diameters, ensuring a flexible, watertight seal for system integrity.
Repair Clamps – Pioneers of the all-stainless steel repair clamp since 1965, Robar offers durable and reliable solutions for repairing holes, breaks, and leaks in pipes, maintaining long-term system performance.
Tapping Sleeves – Designed for wet or dry tapping, these sleeves facilitate mainline connections by enabling secure branch installations without service disruptions.
Service Saddles – Essential for efficiently creating branch outlets from main water lines. Mounted onto the main pipe, they allow for a secure connection to smaller service lines, supporting infrastructure expansion.
Adjustable Pipe Inserts – Strengthen and support mechanical joints, particularly in PVC piping. These inserts prevent pipe collapse from gasket compression, ensuring a durable and secure connection.
Tapped Repair Clamps – Provide a quick and effective solution for pipe repairs, featuring a threaded outlet that allows for direct attachment of additional fittings or service lines, simplifying installation and maintenance.
Additional Products – Robar also offers expansion joints, adjustable pipe inserts, and tapped repair clamps to meet diverse industry needs, ensuring comprehensive solutions for pipeline infrastructure.

FAQs

1. Why are adjustable pipe inserts important for PVC pipe connections?

Adjustable pipe inserts reinforce PVC pipes in mechanical joints, preventing collapse due to gasket compression. By providing structural support, they ensure a secure and long-lasting connection, which is crucial for maintaining water distribution system integrity.

2. How do stainless steel repair clamps compare to other pipe repair methods?

Stainless steel repair clamps offer superior corrosion resistance, durability, and ease of installation compared to traditional repair methods like welding or full pipe replacement. They provide a long-term solution to leaks while minimizing labor costs and system downtime.

3. Can couplings be used to connect different types of pipes?

Yes, flexible couplings are designed to join pipes made from different materials, including ductile iron, PVC, steel, and HDPE. Their adaptability makes them ideal for system upgrades, repairs, and transitions between varying pipeline materials.

4. What pressure ratings do tapping sleeves and repair clamps typically support?

Pressure ratings vary by product and application, but most high-quality tapping sleeves and repair clamps can withstand pressures ranging from 150 PSI to 300 PSI. Choosing the right product depends on the specific demands of the water or wastewater system.

5. How can water utilities ensure long-lasting pipe repairs and connections?

Using high-quality, certified fittings such as repair clamps, service saddles, and couplings ensures durability and system reliability. Proper installation, routine maintenance, and selecting the correct product for each application help prevent leaks, reduce repair frequency, and extend the lifespan of water infrastructure.
