Gap-A-Lets + Socket Weld Contraction Ring

Gap-A-Let® is a split ring that is engineered and designed to give you a pre-measured 1/16" minimum gap for socket welds. Made from a certified stainless steel, Gap-A-Let® resists corrosion from chemicals, radioactive materials, and water. Gap-A-Let®'s spring tension makes it fit tightly into all standard sized fittings from 1" to 4". (Non-standard sizes are available upon request.) Once inserted into the fitting, the Gap-A-Let® ring becomes a permanent part of the joint. It will not rattle or vibrate even under extreme pressure.
