    Design
    The Dielectric Tube Fitting must perform three primary functions:
    1. Electrical insulation
    2. Reliable fluid containment
    3. Appropriate flow for line size
    In the HOKE design, the insulation function is performed by thermoplastic insulators which provide performance unequaled by any similar product.

    A Viton O-ring and TFE back up ring provide the containment function within the fitting. Gyrolok’s 2-ferrule system provides sealing with the impulse line tubing.

    Appropriate flow for line size is achieved by providing the appropriate inside diameter for tubing size. See “E” dimensions in Dimensional Table.


    Applications



    Commonly used in the Natural Gas Transmission industry, the Dielectric Fitting will prevent current flow resulting from Impressed Current Cathodic Protection Systems, static electricity or even lightning strikes, from reaching sensitive monitoring station equipment.

    Impressed Current Cathodic Protection Systems involve the application of a low voltage, low amperage direct current to a pipeline and eventual transfer of corrosive effects to a typically underground anode bed.

    If the current flow is not interrupted before reaching the monitoring station critical equipment could be damaged or rendered inaccurate.

    By installing HOKE’s Gyrolok Dielectric Tube Fitting on impulse lines between the pipeline and the monitoring station, current flow is interrupted while full fluid flow is permitted.


    Warning
    A “NO WRENCHING” label is placed on the hex of the nut in the insulation sections. Do not disconnect at this point. Instructions are provided with every HOKE Dielectric fitting.
