HOW LiNX | AS FITTINGS WORK

The Pipe to be connected slides snugly into the LiNX | AS fitting body

The outer press-rings are driven axially over the fitting body by the proprietary LiNX | AS Press-Tool

Inside the fitting body, the machined bite rings constrict around the pipe forming a gas-tight seal

The pipe is held fast in an all-metal permanent joint

LiNX | AS fittings form a joint that is stronger than the pipe

Installation

Preparation

  • Make a Square Cut at the end of the pipe (±5°)
  • Clean & Prep the Pipe outer surface for a 360° seal
  • Confirm pipe dimensions

Installation

  • Insert the pipe into the Fitting body
  • Using the LiNX | AS Hydraulic tooling, advance the press-rings axially over the fitting body
  • Mark the pipe for Install and Inspection

Inspection

  • Confirm the press-rings are driven fully home
  • Check the Inspection mark is visible
