Axial Swage Mechanically Attached Fittings<br />
Under pressure and fatigue loading, LOKRING fittings<br />
perform as well as butt welds and are superior to socket weld or<br />
seal welded pipe thread.<br />
Installation requires much less skill:<br />
higher quality joints are much more repeatable and reliable than a<br />
welded connection.<br />
An excellent joint can be made in locations where it is nearly<br />
impossible to make a good weld. Welds made in difficult locations<br />
are typically inferior to those made under ideal conditions.<br />
It is intrinsically safe because no heat is required and<br />
electrical shock hazard is eliminated.
