The TW18V is simply placed onto the connecting thread of the test piece. The clamping jaws firmly grip onto the thread establishing a safe & pressure-tight connection within seconds.
Additional sealants and sealing tapes are not required. Time-consuming and expensive clamping and testing devices are eliminated. The TW18V is therefore the ideal tool for frequent connection and disconnection.
The WEH® TW18V Connector is equipped with a pneumatic actuation via valve button and available for high pressure up to max. 5,000 psi.
