The PYPLOK^® connecting system is a weld-less, thread-less way to join pipe. Using a portable, hand-held installation tool, couplings are cold worked and permanently compressed onto the piping, forming a permanent leak-tight seal.

Why Pyplok?

• Swage your fittings in seconds, dramatically reducing your downtime during repairs.
• Skip the expensive certified welders and fire watch personnel
• Forget about hot work permits – Pyplok® fittings are swaged cold
• Reduce your chemical waste disposal costs – Pyplok® doesn’t require acid pickling and neutralizing
• Avoid costly NDT (radiography, x-ray) verification by using a simple “Go-No-Go” inspection gauge for your Pyplok® fittings
• Remove the time-consuming purging of gases or fluids procedure from your process
• Set it and forget it – properly swaged and pressure tested Pyplok® fittings will go many years before needing to be replaced
