There are many different ways to connect pipe, fittings or
valves and depending on the system there are different
chemicals or gaskets required to insure a proper seal.
Different systems whether it be steel, copper or plastic
require different chemicals and or gaskets. Determining the
medium, pressure and temperature will also help you determine
what sealant, cement or gasket you will need. As well as
providing you with the proper sealing solutions we have the
instrumentation needed in order for you to properly determine
the pressure and temperatures of your medium. We stock a wide
selection of thermometers, gauges and vents.
