PHOENIX TRANS-O-CON@ transition pipe connections are used successfullyin

numerous types of product distribution installations. The structurally reinforced design of our

~ products insures a connection that is equal in strength to the originalpipe. Material costs and

installationtime can be greatly reduced by usingTRANS-a-CON connections in new

construction as well as for plant conversions and in maintenance operations.

Facilitiesnow usingour branch connections include:power generating stations, commercial

& industrial buildings,chemical & petrochemical plants and refineries.

STRENGTH RATINGS

TRANS-a-CONconnectionshavestrengthratingsequalto seamlesssteel pipe.

Theseratingsarebasedonthe ASMECodefor PressurePiping,B31,the ASMEBoilerConstructionCode and

For example,an extra-strong TRANS-a-CON applied to extra-strong pipe pf the equivalent material provides 100%pipe

strength. A standard weightTRANS-a-CON provides 100%pipe strength when used on standard weight pipe.

TRANS-a-CON connections are manufactured according to the requirements of the ANSIstandard for Steel Butt Welding

Fittings(B16.9,latest modification);the ASMEstandard for Forged Fittings,SocketWelding andThreaded Fittings

(B16.11,latest modification),the ANSI standard for Pressure Piping(B31,latest modification),and MSSSP-97.

When TRANS-a-CON connections are installed as recommended, their bursting strength exceeds the computed bursting

strength of pipe or the designated weight or schedule number and material.

Certifications are provided upon request. 24-hour acces to specifications through electronic MTR'son our web site.

IDENTIFICATION AND MARKING

TRANS-a-CON connections are forged from carbon steel hot rolled bar to meet A-IOSmaterial specifications.

Everyconnection is individuallyinspected and stamped with header size, outlet size, material specification,

pressure rating, manufacturer's symbol and identification number.

LABORATORY RESEARCH

QUALITY IDENTIFICATION MARKING

To insure the material integrity of our fittings,every heat of steel is analyzed by the originating millfor proper

chemistry from which the steel supplier provides us with a chemistry report. A forged test bar is prepared from each heat

' ' of steelbyour forgeplantsandisanalyzedbyanindependenttestinglaboratoryforcomplianceof mechanicalproperties.

Eachfittingis marked per MSSSP-25 for complete traceability in order that certification

can be provided as required.

TRANS-O-CON @ design provides

100% pipe strength and unrestricted fluid flow

TRANS-a-CON connections maintain the strength of the run pipe and optimize

flow characteristics of the entire system. The cutawaydrawing shows exactly how this isaccomplished.

Additional TRANS-O-CON Advantages:

.TAPERED TRANSITION

FROM BRANCH TO HEADER AND HEAVY JUNCTURE

MINIMIZES STRESS CONCENTRATIONS.

·Low Initial Cost

· Fast,EasyInstallation

· No Cutting, Shapingor Beveling

· Easyto Align

· Strength and quality Properties Found Only in a Forged Product

.WIDE FOOTING IMPROVES

MECHANICAL STRENGTH TO WITHSTAND VIBRATIONAL STRESSES.

TRANS-O-CON @ Applications

Use TRANS-O-CON connectors instead of

·WeldingTees · Reinforced Branches · Non-Reinforced Branches

TRANS-a-CON transition pipe connections can be used in all of these applications to advantage.

Not only is the cost lower,but consider the TRANS-a-CON benefits shown below. Why TRANS-O-CON connections

are better than welding tees:

·Quicker Fabrication time

·Pipe can be run before branch

connections are attached

·Gradual transition from header to branch

improves stress distribution

·Lower material costs

Why TRANS-O-CON connections are better than Reinforced and

Non-Reinforced Miter Branches:

·Quicker installation

·Provides perfectly contoured internal joint

·Requires no shaping

·Requires less cutting and welding

·Eliminatesmetal-to-metallapped

surfaces and sharp corners

·Reduces overall cost of installation

HOW CONDENSED SIZE WORKS:

Eachforged outlet size listed on the chart is designed to

fit a range of pipe run sizes.

For example: The 1/2"fitting marked 36-3/4" will fit each pipe

run size from 3/4" to 36". There will be a maximum 1/16"gap as

illustrated in diagrams. This gapis negligible when welding and

has no adverse effect on the integrity of the connection.
