FlexSteel Connections

FlexSteel pipe connections are made using a time-proven, swaged system of end fittings that are designed, manufactured and tested to API 15S standards. Available in stainless or carbon steel, our midline and end fittings make for fast and reliable connections. Unlike installation methods for alternative solutions, FlexSteel’s proprietary swaging process completely eliminates the need for project site welding – dramatically reducing the amount of equipment and number of crew members required. Because connections are only required between each reel of pipe, the number of potential leak paths is dramatically reduced and the installation process is significantly faster with FlexSteel pipe. For example, one mile of 6 inch 1,500 psi FlexSteel pipe only has five connections; a mile of welded steel pipe has 132 joints creating more leak risk during the life of the pipeline.

In addition to industry standard components, we regularly work with customers to design and manufacture custom solutions that allow customers complete flexibility in utilizing FlexSteel on their project. We are committed to helping you think outside of the box in finding or creating a pre-fabricated fitting that is the best possible solution for your project. Installations can be performed by a FlexSteel technician or a FlexSteel-Certified contractor.

FlexSteel connections are manufactured at our 24,000 square foot Connections Facility in Houston, TX.
