What is a Pinhole Leak Clamp?
Operating gate valves is relatively straightforward. These valves typically use a handwheel, actuator, or motorized mechanism for opening and closing. However, while they are primarily designed for on/off control, it’s important to note that gate valves are not well-suited for throttling applications. Partially opening a gate valve can cause turbulent flow and lead to erosion, which may diminish the valve’s lifespan and compromise the integrity of the pipeline system.

The Importance of Fully Opening a Gate Valve
Split sleeve repair clamps find applications across multiple industries. In the water and sewage sector, they are used to repair leaks in vital infrastructure without the need for extensive excavation or replacement, thereby conserving both time and resources. In the oil and gas industry, these clamps secure damaged pipelines, preventing potential disasters caused by leaks. Additionally, in residential plumbing, they are an invaluable asset for homeowners facing pipe issues, providing a quick fix that avoids costly replacements and extensive repairs.
