What is a Grayloc flange?

Grayloc® compact flanges (GCFs) incorporate our proven metal-to-metal technology into a bolted flange design. Including the Grayloc seal ring in a compact flange design provides a solution with significant space and weight savings that outperforms conventional flanges.

What is a Grayloc hub?

The Grayloc connector provides a highly reliable metal-to-metal seal that is both self- energized and pressure-energized. A complete Grayloc connector consists of two hubs, one seal ring, one set of clamps, stud bolts, and spherical-faced nuts. Hub sealing surfaces must be clean prior to being placed in the furnace.

Why use Grayloc?

Grayloc clamps technology has been developed and included in various products ranging from clamp connectors to other advances connection systems. These connections have several advantages that include design optimization, reduced maintenance, cost efficiency, and lower installation time.

How does a Grayloc work?

The metal Grayloc® seal ring consists of a rib and two lips. During makeup, the seal ring lips deflect inward as the connector is assembled. This deflection is controlled and is within the elastic limits of the seal ring material. Two Hubs—The clamp fits over the two hubs and forces them against the seal ring rib.

What are hub connectors?

Hub connectors or hub and clamp joints are an alternate method of joining pipes as compared to traditional ASME B16. 5 pipe flanged joints. Pipes and equipment can easily be joined using clamp and hub connectors as this metal-to-metal sealed connector is highly reliable and easy to assemble.

What is a hub clamp?

A hub and clamp connector is an alternate method to traditional ASME B16. 5 pipe flanges of connecting pipe spool joints to each other or other equipment. This metal-to-metal sealed connector is reliable and easy-to-assemble.

What is pipe hub?

The end connection of a fitting that is to be assembled into another fitting is called the “Spigot.” The spigot end of a fitting has the same outside diameter as pipe. The common female connection of PVC fittings is referred to as the socket or hub, and the spigot end of a fitting can be inserted into a Hub or Socket.

What is no hub cast iron pipe?

Hubless pipe and fittings are also referred to in the plumbing industry as no-hub. Hubless cast iron soil pipe and fittings are manufactured without a hub, in compliance with CISPI 301. Hub and Spigot pipe and fittings have hubs into which the spigot (plain end) of the pipe or fitting is inserted.

What is a hub connector?

What does a grayloc connector look like?

A complete Grayloc connector consists of two hubs, one seal ring, one set of clamps, stud bolts, and spherical-faced nuts. Assembly and maintenance are easy. Seal rings are designed to be reusable and usually only one connector size is necessary for each pipe size.

Do grayloc hubs have a hub protector?

Grayloc hubs are furnished with hub protectors that should be removed only when the hubs are being welded in place, stress relieved, or when the connection is being assembled. Fabrication Grayloc hubs may be fabricated to piping or other component equipment by established welding procedures.

What are grayloc closure systems?

Grayloc® closure systems incorporate the field-proven design features used in Grayloc connectors, and can be supplied with safety interlocks and hinge and clamp hanger support systems.
