    pipelines. The Clover VPC Coupling can be used on a wide range of pipe
    materials including PVC-O, PVC-M, PVC-U, Ductile Iron, AC, GRP and Steel.

    Clover VPC Couplings do not provide axial pipe restraint and are
    not suitable for use on polyethylene pipe. Couplings comply to the
    requirements of AS/NZS4998.
