Mechanical SHORTSLEEVE™ Fittings eliminate welding. They are designed for use on 2-3/8" (60 mm) OD steel pipe with the TDW SHORTSTOPP® Plugging Machine system. Circumferential and longitudinal sealing elements provide a continuous seal around the pipe. Mechanical SHORTSLEEVE™ Fittings can also be used without plugging machines to install branch connections. The maximum recommended operating pressure is 175 psi (12 bar) at 150°F (66°C). The maximum recommended operating temperature is 180°F (82°C) at 165 psi (11 bar).
When used with the SHORTSTOPP® 60 Plugging Machine, the maximum recommended plugging pressure is 60 psi (4 bar).
