TAG Solugap
Water soluble socket weld spacer ring
One Step Application
SoluGap is the most stable water soluble socket welding spacer ring, with unique patent-pending tabbed edges to keep spacers stable for effective joint socket alignment.
TAG Solugap
The Design Solution
- SoluGap has uniquely engineered 3-point tabs around the edges to hold it in place, even when the socket is sideways or upside down
- A hollow centre allows you to view inside the pipe easily during socket welding
- SoluGap is solid, yet completely water soluble
The Production Solution
- Eliminate the need to pre-measure or guess the size of a gap opening before welding. SoluGap provides the 1/16" minimum gap required by ANSI 31.1, Section III, ASME, US Navy & Military Codes
- SoluGap is easy to install and ready to use. Just snap in and weld!
- Unlike other spacers, SoluGap dissolves completely and does not corrode
- SoluGap costs less and performs better... It’s the economical solution!
- SoluGap has uniquely engineered 3-point tabs around the edges to hold it in place, even when the socket is sideways or upside down
