Connecting valves and fittings with a threaded connection can be time-consuming and often, it leaves part of the thread exposed to the medium and external environment. Over time this will cause corrosion of the uncoated thread and may even result in a leakage.
The AVK Group, a valve manufacturer with various operations in North and South America, recently introduced its patented Supa Lock system that provides a corrosion-free joint combined with fast and easy assembly and maximum flexibility. Supa Lock offers protection against corrosion and leaks and also protection against accidental disassembly of the joint when the pipeline is pressurized.
