Safety Iron™ is a clamp connecting system used to replace
traditional wing nut union connections. The product consists of a
seal ring utilizing a soft seal and a metal-to-metal seal, an upper
clamp with "captive" bolts, and a lower threaded clamp. The metal
seal ring and rubber seal freely slip into the tapered flange end
of the connection. Sealing is accomplished by the end crush on the
rubber seal and tapered metal contact from the clamp force. The
result is a superior performing connection compared to traditional
hammer union connections, and a safer work environment by allowing
the user to "throw away the hammer".
Available in 1½" through 4" in pressure ratings up to 20,000
psi.
