When an industrial facility faced an emergency leak on a 20″ 304 stainless steel process water line, they called Flow Control Solutions for an immediate solution. With no valve in place to isolate the section, shutting down the system would have meant costly downtime and lost production.
Our team quickly expedited the fabrication and freight of a JCM 440 stainless steel line stop fitting, installed a hot tap, and successfully isolated the pipeline using a 1220 folding line stop—all while keeping the facility fully operational.
Why Line Stopping?
Line stopping is the fastest, most efficient way to isolate a pipeline for maintenance or repairs without shutting down the entire system. This method allows industrial facilities, municipalities, and utilities to:
- Avoid production losses
- Prevent service interruptions
- Eliminate costly downtime
- Ensure continued operations during repairs
At Flow Control Solutions, we specialize in keeping your systems running, no matter the challenge.
