Lokring Connectors Can Replace Welded Connections
The unique metal-to-metal seal of the Lokring connection provides extraordinary sealing integrity in both liquid and gas services. Unlike other mechanically attached fittings, there are no elastomemeric or rubber seals, O-rings or gaskets which can degrade and leak over time from chemical attack, fire, vibration, temperature cycling, cold flow or loss of elasticity. As a result, fugitive emissions typical of leak-prone screwed or flanged connectors are eliminated.
