<p> Don’t be fooled by imitations! Over 50 years of technical advancements make the rugged, all-metal <strong>Kinetic Water Ram®</strong> the choice for quickly clearing clogged drains. Just pump it up, insert in drain – and snap the trigger. It’s that fast. </p>



<div class="wp-block-image"><figure class="aligncenter size-large"><img src="https://pipemanproducts.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2024/10/KWR.jpg" alt="" class="wp-image-120" srcset="https://pipemanproducts.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2024/10/KWR.jpg 347w, https://pipemanproducts.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2024/10/KWR-260x300.jpg 260w" sizes="(max-width: 347px) 100vw, 347px" /></figure></div>



<p>Lightweight and economical, the futuristic Kinetic Water Ram 
generates a shock wave that instantly pulverizes stoppages in 1-1/4” to 
4” lines – yet won’t harm pipes. Quickly clear clogged sinks, toilets 
and tubs of grease, hair, sediment and debris.</p>



<p>Environmentally friendly, the compact, portable drain cleaning tool 
is cleaner than snakes – and safer than chemicals. It requires no 
electrical power or CO2 gas.</p>



<p>The Kinetic Water Ram uses a burst of compressed air that drives a 
shock wave (kinetic energy) through water to break up the stoppage. The 
shock wave bypasses vents and stacks to break-up clogs. You get instant 
impact with no pressure build-up. The built-in pump and<br>
pressure gauge lets you choose the right amount of force for each job.</p>



<p>The Kinetic Water Ram is particularly useful when the stoppage is on 
the far side of a drum trap or series of tight bends, since the shock 
wave can travel around bends without losing its force.</p>



<p>The sleek and easy-to-handle Kinetic Water Ram is made of durable 
plated metal components. The unit comes in a sturdy carrying case with 
molded compartments for the drain cleaning tool and accessories.</p>

<p><strong>What is the purpose of a Thermowell?</strong><br> Thermowells are tubular fittings used to protect temperature sensors installed in industrial processes.  They are typically installed in piping systems and are subject to both hydrostatic and aerodynamic  forces. The thermowell protects the instrument (thermometer, thermocouple or resistance  temperature detector) from the pressure, flow-induced forces, and chemical effects of the process fluid. They are installed into pipe, sumps or tanks so they can measure the temperature of the  contents of a live line.</p>



<p><br> Thermowells are manufactured so they allow the temperature in the line to be transferred through its  wall so it be measured. Thermowell units come in different lengths and size based on the size of the  pipe and flow. They are normally inserted into a welded on threaded thermowell fitting that seals  when the thermowell is installed. Thermowells are purchased by their required application, size, and  insertion length into the pipe.</p>



<p><br><strong> What type of fittings can be used for a live Thermowell installation?</strong><br> Many companies use a Carbon Steel or Stainless Steel 2.0” x 1/2” NPT or 2.0” x 3/4” NPT  Thermowell weld-on fittings for live line installation similar to the ThermFitTM weld-on fittings. The 2.0”  outside threads allow for the use of standard 2.0” NPT adapter from a hot tap machine for installation.<br> The 1/2&#8243; or 3/4&#8243; internal threads allows for installation in small and large pipe applications as needed.</p>



<p><br> When doing a live installation, the most important part of the job is the Thermowell installation  equipment. Thermowell units are made by many companies. To do a live installation you will need to  be able to insert the Thermowell while the line is under pressure and thread it completely into the  fitting so it will be permanently sealed.</p>



<p><br> Thermowell units come with different head sizes. Make sure you have socket adapters for these sizes  7/8”, 15/16”, 1.00”, 1-1/16”, 1-1/8”, and 1-1/4”. Your customer may purchase a wide variety of  Thermowell units based on their needs for size of pipe and insertion length. Normally your customer<br> will determine the brand, style and length of the Thermowell.</p>

<p><strong>The Benefits of Roll Grooving to Join Pipe Together</strong></p>



<p>Roll grooving has been around for
more than 50 years and is the most common preferred method of grooving pipe by professionals.
It is a quick and cost effective way to mechanically join pipe. It can be used
on different types of pipe, on many sizes and wall thicknesses.</p>



<p>How is the pipe groove formed? Roll
grooving moves a small portion of the pipe wall orbitally by a cold forming
process. The end of the pipe is placed between the roll set of a grooving
machine. As the roll set closes, the pipe compresses as it rotates. This leaves
a smooth recessed groove around the outside diameter and an indent on the
inside diameter of the pipe being grooved. One the pipe is grooved, it can be
connected by a Victaulic, Grinnell or other brand groove clamps. </p>



<p>Roll grooving is used on Schedule 5
through ANSI standard wall thickness carbon steel and stainless steel pipe and copper
and aluminum pipe or tubing. It can be used up to Schedule 80 PVC pipe. Roll grooving
machines are available from 3/4” up to 48” or larger.</p>
