Weco style hammer unions are essential components for fluid and mud manifolds in oilfield operations. These robust connections are specially designed for cementing, choke-and-kill lines, and various pressure applications. The unions are color-coded for easy identification of pressure ratings ranging from low to high pressure configurations.
Manufactured from high-strength alloy steel or carbon steel, these unions undergo strict heat treatment processes to meet API Spec 16C standards. The design ensures compatibility with FMC WECO style unions, allowing for easy replacement in existing systems. Available connection types include LP/NPT, tubing threaded, and butt-weld ends to suit various installation requirements.
The product line includes standard service and sour gas wing unions in sizes from 1" to 12". All sour service units comply with NACE specifications for harsh environments. The sealing system features replaceable lip-type seals available in different materials including Buna-N, Viton, and combinations with brass or stainless steel backing rings.
Key advantages include positive sealing designs, quick make-up and break-out capability, and interchangeable male/female subs. The unions are particularly suitable for applications requiring frequent connections and disconnections in demanding oilfield conditions.
