New Pipe Connecting

System Reduces Costs —Literature

A new mechanically applied pipe connecting system called PYP-

LOK® that eliminates the costly ex- pense, hazard and time of welding and brazing has been designed for use in the marine shipbuilding/ repair industries and introduced by

Deutsch Metal Components Divi- sion, Los Angeles, Calif.

PYPLOK eliminates costly fire watches, gas free certification re- quirements and extensive pipe and preparation, and offers the long- term benefits of fast installation and proven reliability. Permanently joining piping by means of hydraul- ically acutated swaging tools, PYP-

LOK connections are said to be stronger than the pipe itself.

All standard configurations, in- cluding couplings, 90 degree elbows, tees and reducer fittings are avail- able in materials of 70/30 Cuni, 316L stainless and carbon steel in

N.P.S., O.D., and metric sizes. In- stallations can be made by a single operator of moderate skill.

PYPLOK is available in pressure classes up to 6,000 psi, and seals are compatible with most fluids and gases.

Approvals have been received from NAVSEA, USCG, ABS,

Lloyd's Registry, and virtually every maritime approval agency in the world.
