The trunnion is designed for heavy duty operation in any type of soil anywhere in the world. The function of the trunnion is to bring the side suction pipe in its dredging position. It is fixed inside the sliding piece so that the flange can rotate freely to accomodate the angle of the side suction pipe.

The standard range of the trunnion bends is DN 600 up to DN 1000. Other suction diameters can be designed.
