Hamilton Kent
Silver Sponsor
For over 75 years Hamilton Kent has been recognized as one of North America’s leading manufacturers of a full range of rubber gaskets for round, elliptical and arch concrete pipe and precast concrete manholes, especially the Tylox® SuperSeal™ pre-lubricated gaskets. Over the past several years, HK has been the primary gasket supplier to producers of gasketed box sections throughout the US and Canada, as this product becomes increasingly specified and utilized. Complimenting their line of gaskets are standard and NSF-approved pipe lubricants and a gasket adhesive.
HK has developed numerous flexible pipe-to-manhole connectors, both cast-in and mechanically installed, for ensuring watertight stormwater and sanitary sewer conveyance systems at all connection points.
HK designed and sells measuring tool kits to the pipe industry as producers become increasingly conscious of their joint forming equipment and finished product dimensions.
