The PYPLOK® connecting system is a weld-less, thread-less way to join pipe. It has a successful history in the most demanding environments where fire safety is essential as well as a quick and easy solution to maintenance repairs.
Using a portable, hand-held installation tool, couplings are cold worked and permanently compressed onto the piping, thus forming a permanent leak-tight seal. There are three seals: a metal-to-metal seal, an inner o-ring seal and an outer o-ring seal. The outer o-ring seal prevents outside contaminants from entering the system.
The PYPLOK® couplings are available in Carbon Steel, Stainless Steel Type 316L and Copper Nickel 70/30. Available in sizes from 1/4” to 4” nominal pipe, from 6mm to 60mm metric tube and from 1/4" to 2" O.D. tube. Allowable pressure up to 9,300 PSI (640 BAR). The o-ring seals are made of Viton-E and have an operating temperature range of –65° F to +400° F (–54° C to +205° C).
The use of the Tube-Mac PYPLOK® connecting system eliminates the extensive requirements and costs of welding such as a welder and consumables, hot work permits, fire watch, flushing and purging, gas freeing, radiography and certification. Repairs and pipe installations can be made safely, quickly and easily with the PYPLOK® System, minimizing the duration of shutdown periods.
PYPLOK® SYSTEM BENEFITS
Tube-Mac PYPLOK® System assists You and Your Team with Safe and cost Effective Work Practices
Most Cost Effective On-site Pipe Work Fabrication and Repairs
- PYPLOK® fittings are permanently swaged in "seconds" - reduces on-site time and labor.
- PYPLOK® fittings are swaged on pipe/tube cold, no hot work permits or fire watch personnel are required.
- PYPLOK® tooling is hydraulically actuated deleting special site services.
- PYPLOK® system prevents the need for Gas Freeing.
- PYPLOK® systems do not require acid pickling and neutralizing - eliminating the environmental issues relating to the disposal of such chemical wastes.
- PYPLOK® eliminates the time and cost of NDT (radiography, x-ray) requirements.
- PYPLOK® fittings are verified with a "Go-No-Go" inspection gauge - much quicker and less costly than NDT.
