20,000 psi service
High Pressure Equipment Company has developed a line of Medium Pressure products to assure safe and easy
plumbing through 20,000 psi. These needle valves, fittings, line filters, check valves, safety heads, rupture discs,
anti-vibration gland assemblies, tubing and nipples are engineered to the highest standards of repeatable quality.
The reliable performance of these products has made HiP one of the world’s leading suppliers of elevated
pressure components.
Medium Pressure components use a compact coned-and-threaded connection which permits the larger bore
sizes and increased flow rates common in this pressure class. Medium Pressure valves are available in 1/4", 3/8",
9
/16", 3/4", and 1" O.D. tubing sizes and five patterns to satisfy widely varied requirements. A line of fittings is available
to facilitate adapting to Taper Seal, High Pressure or other threaded pipe systems.

Safety Heads
The male inlet design can be inserted directly into the
tubing connections of valves and various fittings such
as tees and crosses, or located in pressure vessels.
Outlet connections are 3/8" pipe (NPT). This outlet
may be connected to a suitable discharge line to vent
pressure to a safe location in the event of bursting of
the rupture disc. Torque required for sealing rupture
discs will range from 40 to 90 foot pounds, depending
upon pressure and media being used.
Material of body and hold down nut is high tensile
316 stainless steel. Standard tubing glands and collars
are provided unless otherwise specified.

ordered as a separate item.

Anti-Vibration Gland Assemblies
Tubing systems that are subject to extreme vibration or shock, such as mobile pressure systems or long
tubing runs culminating at a compressor, will benefit from the use of High Pressure Equipment Company's
Anti-Vibration Gland Assemblies. These assemblies utilize the same reliable connection geometries as the
standard HiP fittings, with the added benefit of essentially unlimited vibrational fatigue life.
A coned and threaded tube, when subjected to unusual or excessive vibration, may fail prematurely and
break at the last thread. The Anti-Vibration Gland Assembly acts to move the fulcrum of vibration away from
the threaded portion of the tube and onto the strong, solid wall of the tubing. A wedge-like collet firmly holds
the assembly in place, virtually eliminating premature tubing failure while reliably maintaining a leak-free
connection between the tube and the connection seat.

Medium Pressure Tubing
Tubing is cold drawn, seamless, and is supplied in the 1/8 hard condition (not annealed). Tensile strength is approximately
40 percent higher than that of annealed tubing. All tubing is manufactured in strict accordance with High Pressure Equipment
Company specifications to insure tolerances and bore quality. Tubing is stocked in lengths of 18 to 22 feet but may be ordered
in shorter lengths with no additional cutting charge.
