The hottest name in pipe connecting technology just turned off the heat

No Welding. No Brazing. No Hot Work. Deutsch

Metal Components Division has just brought on- board pipe connecting technology up to speed, and down in cost. When it comes to the pipe joining process that fly performs under pressure, under time and under budget, you can't overestimate the advantages of

PYPLOK." I

Through this exclusive swag- ~ ing technique, the benefits from i proof of performance technology jgi'J^ can now be applied to a variety of Aj^ shipboard installations.

Where cost containment has > become increasingly essential,

PYPLOK offers the long term ad- vantage of fast installation without the expense or hazards of welding or brazing. Most importantly, it can be used by a single operator of moderate skill in just minutes.

The resulting connections have a higher

PTPLOMr fatigue strength than most piping materials and are easier to implement than any previous meth- od. A simple visual inspection gage checks the quality of the joint at the time it is w^ar* made, thereby eliminating costly non-destructive testing.

The fittings are provided in a wide range of shapes including: > couplings, 45° and 90° elbows, tees, reducers, and male and female takedown joints. The

I 4_ PYPLOK system is perfectly

J J > suited for high density applica- tions. It is presently in use on ves- ^ sels classed with ABS and the

U.S. Coast Guard and is NAVSEA • P approved for numerous naval applications.

PYPLOK ... It's the one system that does more than join pipe ends together. Where cost contain- ment is just as important, it will help you make ends meet. „ Circle 164 on Reader Service Card
