Air Grip union is widely applied in drilling fluid pipelines, with features of low-pressure, large pipe size, big pipe misalignment, frequent installation and uninstall. Especially, in connecting mud tanks, mud suction and return lines in solid control system.
150 psi maximum line pressure, 4, 6, 8, 10, 12, 14and 16-inch sizes
Recommended service:
Mud suction and return lines and low-pressure fluid lines
Features:
1. Shot of rig air inflates tube to seal around pipe
2. Fast, easy make-up without close alignment
3.Allows pipe expansion or misalignment without breaking the seal
4. No nuts, bolts, or wrenches required
