Lokring is known in the hydraulics field for designing patented, weld equivalent pipe and tube fittings such as couplings, flanges, elbows, adapters, and more. They have been a front-runner in hydraulics for many decades.
Our JHS owner, Jerry, has been a Lokring Certified Installer in the Northeast for over 10 years. He was recently featured in their monthly newsletter. Thank you to Lokring for the write up!
When Jerry Johnson, owner of Johnson Hydraulics, received a job in a forging plant, he knew he took on a challenge–install two 165 gpm hydraulic pumps, hydraulic cylinders, valves and associated piping on an elevated platform high above an 80,000 gallon quench tank. This was to be an all-welded piping job with code 61 flanges for valve connections.
Jerry has been a Certified Lokring installer for 10 years. He has catered to hydraulic piping jobs in the marine, steel and general industrial market for 35 years in the NJ/NY/PA markets. He reviewed the piping and Lokring specs with the end user and got approval to use Lokring weldless pipe fittings.
Time was of the essence. Jerry prefabbed as much pipe as possible and used Lokring connections on the narrow elevated platform. Dozens of fittings were installed in a fraction of the time. 2100 psi service without one leak!
And neither Jerry nor any equipment ever went for a swim!
