“This is to let you know the great success we had utilizing your Walhonde Pipefitter. The 24” clamps you custom made for us in short order, worked great and were a key ingredient in our success. We replaced a large amount of large bore piping in a world record 19 day refueling outage. The Pipefitter allowed us to fit-up and align our piping prior to tacking. This has been a major problem in the past due to configuration of the piping being replaced.

I look forward to continued success utilizing the Pipefitter and other specialized tooling in the future.”

“It’s excellent equipment. The clamps significantly helped us. We should have discovered this equipment sooner. It would have saved me a lot of money. It cut the fit-up time for the pipes in half, at least, maybe even quicker.”

“We have finally had an opportunity to properly evaluate the “Wallbanger” fit-up tools, and as would be expected, found them to be a valuable tool. It has been especially useful for use in making repairs as the only method acceptable to the inspection agency….No other method or repair is permitted even if the leak is outside the furnace.”

“On jobs where the Walhonde tools were used, x-ray rejections were reduced to nil.”
