Linestop head

LineStop heads and sealing elements are critical components for pipeline maintenance and flow control. Our products are designed for a wide range of pipeline sizes and operational pressures, made from high-quality materials to ensure durability and performance. Proper storage and handling of sealing elements are essential to maintain their integrity and extend their shelf life.

LineStop heads, also known as pivots, are essential components used after a hottap operation to mechanically stop the flow within a pipeline. These heads are introduced into the pipeline by an actuator and must be manufactured to fit very closely to the pipeline’s internal diameter (ID). We offer LineStop heads and sealing elements designed for various pipeline sizes and operational pressures, ensuring effective and reliable line stopping.
