GAP-ALET 3" 316L/SS NPS
PRODUCT FEATURES:
Socket weld contraction ring designed to automatically set the correct 1/16″ root gap for pipe socket weld joints.
Manufactured from 316L stainless steel for excellent corrosion resistance against chemicals, water, and harsh environments.
Split-ring design with spring tension allows the ring to fit tightly into standard pipe fittings.
Eliminates the need for manual measuring, scribing, or re-checking gaps during pipe fit-up.
Helps prevent cracked welds caused by improper gap spacing.
Once installed, the ring becomes a permanent part of the socket weld joint and remains stable even under pressure or vibration.
Designed for 3″ NPS piping systems, commonly used in industrial piping networks.
Suitable for applications in power plants, petrochemical facilities, shipbuilding, and industrial piping systems.

PRODUCT DESCRIPTION:
The G.A.L. GAP-3SS Gap-Alert 3″ NPS Socket Weld Contraction Ring is a specialized pipe-fitting accessory used to maintain the correct root gap during socket welding. Manufactured from 316L stainless steel, this durable split ring resists corrosion and maintains its structural integrity in demanding industrial environments. When inserted into a socket weld fitting, the ring automatically creates the required 1/16″ minimum gap, eliminating the need for manual measurements and ensuring consistent weld preparation. The spring-loaded design holds the ring firmly in place, and once the pipe is inserted and welded, the ring becomes a permanent part of the joint, improving reliability and reducing the risk of weld defects.
