OPW Engineered Systems
They pioneered the development of systems designed to load and unload petroleum products for rail car and tank truck applications. Today, the company also manufactures custom-designed loading and unloading systems to safely and efficiently handle aggressive/critical chemicals and by-products. Quality Control for Dependable Operation Their manufacturing and testing procedures meet or exceed industry standards. All loading arm assemblies are rigorously tested to ensure high quality. CNC equipment is used to machine all critical dimensions within precise tolerances to ensure that each product meets their rigid engineering specifications. As with every other part of their product, welding is an important quality factor. Their welders are certified to ASME Boiler and Pressure Vessel Code, Section IX. Additional testing, including radiography as well as material certifications, can be provided to meet your specific requirements. Special exterior surface preparation and painting are also available. Their design efforts are supported by a state-of-the-art CAD system for faster, more accurate responses to your technical requests.
Quick & Dry Disconnect ProductsOPW Engineered Systems offers the most complete line of dry disconnect and quick disconnect products in the industry including Autolok™ and the world’s most popular cam and groove system - Kamlok®. These products help keep employees out of harm’s way as well as contain fugitive emissions, transfer VOC’s without product or vapor loss, and further the efforts of responsible environmental management. The Kamlok® and Autolok™ quick disconnects offer the exclusive Twin-Kam™ arm design featuring a unique detent position for the prevention of accidental releases. The Twin-Kam™ arms are guaranteed for life and also include OPW’s patented Spring-Ring™ feature that keeps the finger rings in the correct position for handling. Autolok™ and Kamlok® couplers and caps come in a wide variety of size and configurations and provide the industry’s safest, sturdiest, quickest coupler system on the market. Dry Disconnect products prevent spillage from both routine and accidental disconnects. A dry disconnect consists of a built-in valve in the coupler and a spring-loaded poppet in the mating adaptor that automatically closes when disconnected. OPW’s line of dry disconnect products include Drylok™ and the economical cam-and-groove coupler Kamvalok®. Both Drylok™ and Kamvalok® are suitable for a broad range of hazardous liquid transfer applications. Drylok™ is designed to safely transfer hazardous corrosive, volatile liquids such as acids, solvents and petrochemicals. An interlocking handle averts accidental spills by preventing uncoupling while the valve is open. And the unit’s flat face minimizes fluid loss, further reducing exposure to risk during operation. Drylok™ is ideal for all kinds of hazardous fluids where product loss is a problem, such as high-pressure lines, high flow rates, slurries, and gases. Parker Supply Company can help you determine the type of coupling most suitable for your specific application. Contact one of our applications specialists or customer service representatives for assistance.
Swivel JointsOPW Engineered Systems manufactures swivel joints for a broad range of uses in the chemical, refining, mining, brewing, ink, paint and fertilizer industries. Design, plant and maintenance engineers use swivel joints in flexible piping systems, loading arms, hose reels, wastewater treatment equipment, and various other types of process machinery. They are also used in a variety of in-plant fluid and dry bulk transfer applications such as machine tool coolant transfer and drum filling applications where they allow you to use rigid metal piping without the difficulty or danger of handling heavy, cumbersome hoses. OPW Engineered Systems fabricated and cast ball bearing swivel joints allow you to construct a metal piping system that permits easy movement in any direction. They are designed and built to the highest quality standards, including precision machining and 100% penetration welding. Their special capabilities include split flange, jacketed, lined and coated swivel joints. OPW Swivel Joints are durable, reliable, easy to operate and maintain and are available in the following materials:

Steam Strainers
Y Strainers
Their Y strainers are available for pressures from ANSI Class 125 through Class 2500 and higher. All of these strainers are available in a wide variety of materials including:
Basket StrainersMueller Steam Specialty Simplex Basket Strainers are called for when the application requires a strainer with an extremely large capacity. Most of these strainers have an open area ratio of 6 to 1 with even greater open area ratios available. As with all of the Mueller Steam Specialty strainers, basket strainers are available in an almost endless combination of materials, pressures, end connections and cover configurations from 1/4" to 24" (72" in fabricated units). Units are available in cast iron, bronze, carbon steel, stainless steel, Alloy 20 and most other alloys. From threaded end connections to offset flanged connections, we can provide the exact basket strainer to meet your needs. |
Expansion Joints & Metal Hose
Frequently, thermal expansion, equipment movement, vibration or pressure pulsation can cause movement in a piping system. When flexibility for this movement cannot be designed into the piping system itself, an expansion joint is the ideal solution. Expansion joints are devices used to allow movement in a piping system while containing pressure and the medium running through it. They are an important part of many piping and ducting systems and are usually considered to be critical components of the systems within which they are installed. They typically fall into 3 general categories: Metal, Rubber, and Fabric and are usually designed for specific applications to:
Parker Supply Company can help you determine the type of expansion joint most suitable for your specific application. Contact one of our applications specialists for assistance.
Metal Expansion JointsMetal expansion joints are used for most piping systems handling liquids or for systems with operating pressures significantly above atmospheric. These products include internally and externally pressurized as well as pressure balanced bellows expansion joints. Configurations include single or dual bellows, tied universals, hinges, and gimbals. Rectangular expansion joints are available for low pressure or full vacuum service. Other products also available include metal bellows pump connectors, flexible metal hose connectors, packed slip style expansion joints, compensators and pipe guides.
Rubber Expansion JointsProco Products, Inc. is a global leader in the design and manufacturing of piping and ducting system expansion joints. We offer the most complete line of rubber and molded PFA expansion joints, fabric fan connectors, braided flexible hose assemblies and low torque sealing gaskets to the piping industry.
Fabric Expansion JointsFabric expansion joints are often used for high temperature gas applications to reduce time between maintenance intervals and minimize leaking which reduces fugitive emissions of pollutants. Typical fabric expansion joints are made from an elastomer such as Neoprene, EPDM, silicone or fluoroelastomer, reinforced with fibers or fabric made from polyamide, aramid, glass or metal wire. Multilayer expansion joints for high-temperature applications are more complex. Parker Supply Company can help you determine the type of expansion joint most suitable for your specific application.

Steam Traps There are many factors that influence how well a steam trap can do its job getting condensate, air and carbon dioxide out of the steam system as quickly as they accumulate. If it's not matched to the application, sized correctly and installed appropriately, your steam system won’t get maximum value from a trap…no matter how good the trap itself is! When properly integrated into the system, however, a steam trap will provide:
