 Brief History
1968 McDonnell Aircraft developed the technology to 360 degree radial swage
compression tube coupling for F- 4 Fighter jets.
They licensed DMC of California to manufacture the fitting.
DMC extended the product range and configurations.
In 1978 DMC patent an NPS Pipe and OD Tube fitting system called PYPLOK
and entered into Petrochemical and other industrial markets.
There was an ownership change in 2004 and by then Tube-Mac was already a
longtime user of the product.
DMC’s new management wanted to concentrate on their core aerospace and
power business so they offered the PYPLOK line to Tube-Mac.
In January 2007 the sale was completed and Tube-Mac took over the
marketing, design and manufacture of the PYPLOK product line.
PYPLOK being a Mechanically Attached Fitting (MAF) is a natural fit together
with Tube-Mac’s other non-welded systems.
The PYPLOK® tools you need to begin to get rid of costly hot work.

1. Marking/Inspection Gauge.
Used for inspecting OD of pipe or tube, marking insertion depth on pipe
and verifying after swage dimensions.
2. Head Assembly.
Attaches to power unit and, when
actuated, swages fittings onto pipe.
3. Hose Assembly.
10,000 psi Hydraulic Hose. 10 feet long.
4. Power Unit.
Hydraulically actuated swaging tool
provides force to a radially swage fittings
onto pipe.
5. Pump.
Tube-Mac® series 10,000 psi pumps are
the power supply, available in manual,
electric, pneumatic and rechargeable
Electric (battery pack)

 Benefits of a TMI non-welded system
versus welded system
• No special skilled labour required vs. qualified welder.
• Actual flaring or swaging time is measured in “seconds” vs.
“hours” for a welded joint.
• No special hot work permits or fire watch personnel required.
• TMI non-welded connections are stress free and leak free vs.
added stresses from welding and especially from misaligned
fittings or flanges.
• Stress fatigues in welds results in leaks.
• Field bent pipe reduces component costs and creates less
pressure drop which results in horsepower savings.
• No x-ray required vs. time and money to x-ray high pressure
welds.
• No acid flush chemicals and neutralizers required.
• No added cost or environmental issues regarding the disposal of
chemical wastes.
• Guaranteed clean vs. no guarantee the welded system is clean
after pickling.
• Flushing time is measured in “weeks” vs. “months” to acid pickle
and flush a welded system.
In Summary: TMI non-welded
piping systems take less time
to install, clean and flush than
a conventional welded piping
system that has been acid
pickled and oil flushed. The
result is overall cost savings.
