Accessories

An integral part of the Sirocco system is tube connection and tube sealing. A wide range of products are available which enable tubes to be connected together, sealed from water or gas ingress, or reduced from one tube size to another. This range of accessories is fully compatible with the Sirocco units and Sirocco tubes supplied by Prysmian.
In many cases, alternative designs of each type of connectors are available so that customers can adopt their preferred style. Talk to your Prysmian representative about the alternatives.

• Tube connectors
Simple push fit connection of tubes. The standard tube connectors for 5mm to 5mm tube in either external or internal environments where gas sealing is not required. Alternative connectors available for 3mm to 3mm and 8mm to 8mm tubes.

• Gas Seal Connectors
Simple push fit connection of tubes. The standard tube connectors for 5mm to 5mm tube (alternatives for 3mm/3mm and 8mm/8mm) entering customer premises giving a gas-tight seal for populated or unpopulated tubes.

• Water Blocking Connectors
Used for water blocking populated or unpopulated tubes in underground external joints. The standard push fit seals are 5mm with 3mm and 8mm also available.

• Reducer Connectors
It is recommended that tubing networks are built using a single tube size (5mm standard as the size of larger 8mm tube units can be restrictive and 3mm tubes are only suitable for 2 & 4 fibre units). However, legacy networks may contain alternative tube sizes and so reducers allow connection of different sized tubes although this can restrict air flow and reduce installation distances.

• End caps
For temporary sealing of tubes in external joints or tube distribution units pending later installation of fibre units. The standard push fit seals are 5mm with 3mm and 8mm also available.

• Tube sealing cap
Also an end cap, used in customer premises to provide a gas tight seal on incoming external tubes, pending fibre unit population. The standard push fit seals are 5mm with 3mm and 8mm also available.
