| Q: | Can you produce custom-made gaskets for me? |
| A: |
Yes. Most of our gaskets are custom, hand-cut gaskets to a drawing or by sample. We also carry a wide range of industry standard gaskets.
|
| Q: | Can I get a hose assembly made to length, or are they pre-made? |
| A: |
We carry hose and fittings in bulk, direct from the manufacturer, so we can make your specific hose in-house. We do carry some pre-made hoses, but most are custom made to the customer's specifications.
|
| Q: | Can I get a gasket or hose for a specific make and model, or do I need to bring in a sample? |

Due to the vast number of different manufacturers of equipment, we typically must go by sample or drawing. However, we do carry industry standard gaskets and spcial application gaskets, such as boiler and flange gaskets.

In many cases, we can cut and weld/braze customer fittings and use them as "adaptors" to get you going again.
|
| Q: | I need to make sure my hose doesn't leak. Do you offer testing? |
| A: |
We offer hydro-static testing for a charge. We test hose assemblies to one and a half times the weakest part of the hose assembly. We also tag the hose.

| Q: | Can cam and groove fittings (camlocks) be used for air service? |
| A: |
No. Under no circumstances should a camlock fitting be used in compressed air or steam service.

| Q: | What is the proper way to measure hose and tubing? |
