When welding is impractical, introduces additional risk, or would extend a planned shutdown, STATS mechanical pipe connectors provide a safe and efficient alternative.
Available through Patriot International, these DNV type-approved connectors support pipe repairs, tie-ins, and the isolation of redundant pipework without introducing hot work into the installation scope.
The connector is installed over a prepared plain-end pipe and secured using a conventional bolted assembly. No dedicated activation equipment is required, helping simplify mobilisation and reduce the number of specialist resources needed on site.

Mechanical connectors can be specified for planned maintenance, brownfield modifications, and time-sensitive repair scopes across a wide range of facilities, including:
Configurations are available for a broad range of pipe materials. The correct connector must be selected based on pipe dimensions, material, pressure class, operating temperature, and installation environment.
STATS mechanical connectors are available for titanium pipelines, providing a practical alternative where welded repairs or modifications may be difficult, costly or time-consuming.
The connectors use the same standard bolted installation and integrated verification port, allowing the completed connection to be tested before the pipework is returned to service.Selected configurations are DNV type approved for use on titanium pipelines.
Only basic preparation of the host pipe is typically required before the connector is positioned and bolted into place.
Once installed, the connection can be verified using the integrated seal verification port. This allows the annular space between seals to be pressure-tested before the pipework is returned to service.
Where ongoing assurance is required, the verification port can also support a double block-and-bleed arrangement as part of a maintenance or inspection programme.
Eliminates the need for hot work during installation
Reduces personnel, equipment, and control requirements associated with welding
Shortens execution time for repair and modification scopes
Uses standard bolting rather than dedicated activation systems
Maintains full internal bore without swaging the host pipe
Enables pre-commissioning verification of the installed connection
Supports repair, tie-in, and capping applications through multiple configurations
