LINX
For customers looking to escape the limitations of welding pipe connections, LiNX | AS represents the Next Generation of mechanically attached fittings: A Cold-Press pipe connecting solution that creates a permanent, all-metal joint – replacing welding.
Driven by the client needs and the potential in the market, we as a team from different parts of the globe have come together to deliver LiNX | AS.
Significant investment in Research and Development has produced a fully Tested and Certified range of Fittings and custom installation Tooling.
TECHNOLOGY
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
Advantages Of LiNX | AS Technology
SIMPLICITY
