The specially engineered, patented design of SoluGap offers an economical, inventive solution to socket welding needs.
Compatible with any metal, SoluGap provides the 1/16ʺ (1.6 mm) minimum gap required by ANSI 31.1, Section III, ASME, US Navy and Military Codes, eliminating the need for pre-measuring and guesswork. SoluGap is also available in 1/8″ (3.2 mm) thickness.
SoluGap features a unique 3-tabbed edge design that allows the spacers to remain secure in any pipe orientation.
SoluGap is U.S. manufactured and comprised of Aquasol’s environmentally safe, water-soluble composite board. It dissolves completely and rapidly in most liquids, allowing for easy post-weld clean up.
Available in a variety of sizes ranging from 1/2ʺ to 2 1/2ʺ in diameter, SoluGap is easy to install and ready to use, providing the smartest solution to your socket welding needs.
