The threaded spindle with a nut that is, depending on the version, ended with rotary-fixed push on angular piece or level arm. In versions equipped with the push on angular piece, the nut goes with hooks for fixing of chain links. The version with arms has the nut integrated to the push on device arm. Both arms are provided with pins for the fixing of the chain links. Turning the threaded spindle, the nut moves along the spindle and tightens the hooked (fixed) chain as wound around the pipeline with very tight attachment to the pipeline. Normally, UPU devices are supplied as the below described sets or individually depending on the customers´ request.
