Contech HEL-COR pipe and pipe-arch is available with annular re-rolled ends or non-rerolled ends providing a variety of joint configurations. For 3”x1” and 5”x1” HEL-COR pipe-arch, non-rerolled ends with flat or dimpled bands and flat gaskets are recommended.

QUICK STAB^®Joint

Contech’s QUICK STAB Bell and Spigot joint speeds installation of corrugated metal pipe (CMP), reducing costs. With the QUICK STAB coupling system, installation of CMP storm sewers and culverts has never been easier or faster. QUICK STAB creates a bell and spigot joining system with the bell only 1"-1/2" larger than the pipe’s outer diameter. The bell is shipped to the job site ready for installation—the only field operation is placing a special fluted gasket onto the spigot end of the pipe, applying lubricant, and pushing it into the bell end of the preceding pipe. You can join pipe segments 50-90 percent faster - saving time and money.

HUGGER^®Joint

Contech also offers the HUGGER Joint. This joint uses an annular corrugation to fully engage each annular pipe end for 360 degrees. When used with optional rubber O-ring gaskets, the HUGGER Joint is the industry’s tightest.
