BARCONN® Non-Welded Piping System

Bar Hydraulics has many years of experience supplying and installing non-welded hydraulic piping systems. Most equipment requires hydraulic field piping which is our scope of supply. This piping goes from the main Hydraulic Power Unit to the equipment. However, this piping has a significant impact on the commissioning and operation of such equipment. The most trouble free installations use a non-welded piping system.


Method of BARCONN® System

This flared joint is based on flaring the pipe ends to 10 degrees and utilizing two internal cones. One O-Ring face cone C/W clearance flange and SAE O-Ring and one flat face cone C/W threaded flange.

To make a connection, the pipe is cut square, deburred and a flange is slipped onto the pipe before flaring. After flaring, the cone is secured into the pipe by way of an interference fit. In fact, the cone may be used up to three times to flare the pipe. By flaring the pipe with the cone you can be sure of a sealed joint everytime. Once the flange has been installed it can be rotated, eliminating the need to match flange bolt holes prior to installation. When bolting the joint together, properly install a standard SAE O-Ring and begin to tighten flange bolts evenly.

Our standard connection style conforms to SAE Flanges along with metric ANSI and DIN flanges. The Barconn connection has only one method of attaching flanges to pipe, which is by a 10-degree flare. The cone flares the pipe 10 degrees regardless of the system pressure, the pipe size, the wall thickness or the flange rating. All pipe sizes and wall thicknesses are flared the same way. All tooling is portable and low maintenance.
