PYPLOK® connectors are attached cold, in seconds, by swaging the connector on the pipe or tube with a hydraulic hand held tool. All the labour and associated costs of a conventional welded connection are eliminated.
- No special skilled labour required vs. qualified welder.
- Actual swaging time is measured in “seconds” vs. “hours” for a welded joint.
- No special hot work permits
- No fire watch personnel required.
- No leaks as a result of stress fatigue cracks as seen in welds.
- No cost to x-ray welds.
- No cost to re-work welds.
The PYPLOK® system has been successfully used in wide variety of industries such as Marine & Offshore, Steel Industry, Oil & Gas and Refinery to name a few. Applications range from hydraulic oil, lubrication, fuel lines, steam trace, and many other fluids and gases.
PYPLOK is a solution for O.D. tube from 1/4” to 2”, Metric tube from 6mm to 90mm and NPS pipe from 1/4” to 3”. Due to the nature of the design the connector is dependent on outside diameter and the wall can be virtually any thickness. PYPLOK® connectors are suitable for pressures up to 10,000 PSI (690 bar) depending on the size and safety factor.
The 3 step installation process is fast and simple after cutting and deburring the pipe or tube.
1. Mark the insertion depth 2. Pressurize tool 3. Quality assure the connection
- Mark the insertion depth on the pipe using the Inspection/Marking Gauge.
- Insert the pipe in the PYPLOK® connector, position the tool over the connector and pressurize the tool to swage the PYPLOK® connector on to the pipe.
- Quality assure the swage with the Inspection/Marking Gauge.
Note: The actual swage cycle time varies by size but typically from 10 to 30 seconds.
PYPLOK® connectors have two elastomeric o-ring seals at each end. The inner o-ring seal closes off all the potential leak paths and the outer o-ring seal on the end of the fitting acts as a back-up and an “Environmental” seal to prevent sea water or other contaminants from entering between the connector and the pipe.
Cr (VI) – free plating
PYPLOK® connectors are supplied in carbon steel with Cr (VI)-free plating, 316 stainless steel, and Copper Nickel (CuNi) 70/30. Other materials are available upon request such as Duplex and Super Duplex stainless steel.
Shapes and Configurations
PYPLOK® conforms to standard end connections, SAE, NPT, DIN and flange patterns in accordance with SAE Code 61/ISO 6162-1, SAE Code 62/ISO 6162-2, ISO 6164 and also with ANSI Class.
Apart from standard shapes such as tees, 45˚ and 90˚ elbows and reducers, custom connectors are also available.
Safe Technology
PYPLOK® is a safe, cold work connector technology and a permanent, tamper proof connection with no bolts or nuts to become loose over time.
Intelli-Swage
PYPLOK® connectors are installed with a hand held, portable, pre-engineered swage tool which assures repeatability, leak-free and reliable connections. There is no need to rely on the strength of the installer to tighten bolts or nuts.
Certifications
PYPLOK® connectors are certified by leading classification societies such as DNV, ABS, BV CCS, RMRS and LR for Marine & Offshore and TSSA, ABSA and CRN Registration for industrial use.
Tube-Mac Piping Technologies Ltd., is the manufacturer of PYPLOK® connectors and swaging tools and together with its global PYPLOK® distribution network, it services customers worldwide.
