VAM® 21™

VAM® 21™


​​VAM® 21TM is the latest generation of Threaded & Coupled (T&C) premium connection introducing an innovative and revolutionary design. Confidence thanks to ISO 13679 CAL-IV compliance within the full pipe body envelope extends the opportunities for your well designs​.
VAM® 21TM is the highest performing and most rel​iable VAM® connection to date with excellent gas tight sealing under combined loads, extreme compression resistance (100%) and innovative VAM® Effect with the VAM®​ Stabilizer™.
Seal and shoulder functions are separated so that torque and compression have no affect on the sealing performance.​​
