GAL Gage Gap-A-Let Socket Weld Contraction Rings, 3/4" NPS, Sold Per Each Ring Gap-A-LetŪ is a split ring that is engineered and designed to give you a pre-measured 1/16" minimum gap for socket welds. Made from a certified stainless steel, Gap-A-LetŪ resists corrosion from chemicals, radioactive materials, and water. Once inserted into the fitting, the Gap-A-LetŪ ring becomes a permanent part of the joint. It will not rattle or vibrate even under extreme pressure. Designed for use on any socket weld application, Gap-A-LetŪ rings are suitable for Power Piping (Nuclear, Conventional), Industrial Hydraulics, Welded Railroad Air Brake Piping, Petrochemical Plants, Fertilizer Plants, Shipbuilding, and the list goes on and on.
Socket welds that once took 15 minutes or more to fit-up now take just seconds. There is no measuring, scribing, or re-measuring. Just pop the Gap-A-LetŪ into the fitting and insert pipe into the fitting, Gap-A-LetŪ socket weld contraction rings automatically set the required 1/16" minimum gap so you're ready to weld.
And because these rings are so easy to use, they eliminate the problems caused by guessing the gap. No longer is there a need to scribe into hard-to-mark metal pipe walls. With Gap-A-LetŪ rings, quality control inspectors can concentrate on the quality of the weld and not spending valuable time measuring for proper gapping. And since the costly problem of cracked welds due to improper gap is practically eliminated, your pipes can safely transport fluids the first time and every time.
A plus for piping engineers
Gap-A-LetŪ rings help piping engineers determine end-to-end length of pipe without guessing. Constant, proper gap gives precise length whether in field run or fab shop assembly.
