Overview

TUBE TURNS® manufactures Threaded closures in popular sizes ranging from 2" through 24" in ASME Pressure Classes 150 through 900. Threaded closures in 26" through 36" are available in ASME Pressure Classes 150 through 600.

Threaded closures are available in horizontal and vertical orientations. Threaded closures offer safety with a simple design that consists of only a head, welding hub, pressure warning device, integrated tool to assist in opening and closing the larger size closures and heavy-duty hinging hardware with adjustable davit mechanisms on larger sizes.

TUBE TURNS® Threaded Closures are manufactured utilizing the precision of CNC machining to provide accurate and consistent dimensions.

Key Features & Benefits

Threaded closures engineered for simplicity, reliability, and precision

Simple Yet Robust Design

Only head, welding hub, pressure warning device, and heavy-duty hinging hardware

CNC Precision Machining

Accurate and consistent dimensions through precision CNC manufacturing

Pressure Warning Device

Standard on 6" and larger sizes; optional on 2" through 4". Alerts operator of any internal pressure before opening.

ACME Thread Design

Heavy-duty ACME threads on head and hub for reliable, repeatable operation

ASME Code Compliance

Meets ASME Section VIII, Division I requirements

Dual Orientation

Available in horizontal and vertical orientations

Safety

Threaded Closures meet ASME Section VIII, Division I requirements with multiple safety features

Pressure Warning Device

Provides visible warning of internal pressure prior to opening. Standard on 6" and larger; optional on 2" through 4". Note: the device is not a bleeder plug and is not designed to relieve internal pressure.

O-Ring Sealing

Resilient O-ring gasket provides the primary pressure seal between hub and head

Heavy-Duty Hinging Hardware

Adjustable davit mechanisms on larger sizes assist with safe opening and closing

Authorized Inspection Agency Audited

Quality Control System per ASME Section VIII, Division I, Appendix 10, audited by an Authorized Inspection Agency

Threaded Closure Safety Features

Operational Assurance

TUBE TURNS® Threaded Closures use heavy-duty ACME threads on the head and hub, precision CNC machined for accurate and consistent dimensions.

When used with the appropriate thread lubricant, these closures provide reliable, repeatable opening and closing performance over many service cycles.
