  2. Push the door firmly shut with no gap between the door face and hub face.

  3. Pull down on the clamp ring handle to close the door.

  4. Install the pressure warning lock screw, make sure it is not cross threaded.

From Vermont to Virginia, the team at Kerr is constantly on the road working with gas utilities and companies to ensure safe and efficient pipeline repair and maintenance.

Increasingly, gas utilities are investing in equipment such as the TDW POLYSTOPP® Quick Connect system. The POLYSTOPP® Quick Connect system makes it easy to safely perform hot tapping, plugging and branching on polyethylene (PE) pipelines. The lightweight design allows operators to isolate a polyethylene (PE) line twice as fast as other methods while preventing the damage associated with squeezing.

Recent product demonstrations have highlighted how to operate the equipment properly.

  4. Inspect the pressure warning lock, O-Ring and the bushing.

  5. Lift the clamp ring handle and put the pressure warning lock in the hole furthest to the right.

  6. Clean and lubricate the interior surface of the clamp ring.
