Zap-Lok Pipeline Connection System

(OP)
Dear All,

Does anyone have experience using Zap-Lok connection system or any equivalent connection system for Offshore Pipeline installation? Supplier of this connection claim that it reduce the installation cost by 45-60 % compared to welded type.

Yes.  If you refer to Oil States trademark "Hydrotech" products,

They work very well and undoubtedly save lots of money over almost any welded connection.  They have been used for many years by many different pipeline operators.
