Octopus Subsea Tooling
The Original Gasket Insertion Tool
A proprietary tool developed by Peter J Richardson is expertly crafted to facilitate the secure and safe insertion of RTJ (Ring Type Joint) or metal gasket between ANSI B 16.20 flanges.
The original Gasket Insertion Tool streamlines safe and precise gasket installation between flanges for divers.
The gasket sitting in the groove between the flanges is a ‘single point of failure’, necessitating meticulous care and attention to avert potential revisit.
The original Gasket Insertion Tool has been consistently employed in Flange Tie-In procedures.
Equipped with a "T" handle marked with both serial and reference numbers for QA/QC documentation.
Complete dissolution of aluminium from both the RTJ gasket and flange interface within a relatively short timeframe.
After a decade of extensive utilisation, the GIT has earned commendation for its exceptional design and performance.
SBX Gasket Insertion Tool
Used for inserting SBX gaskets between flanges and then recovering the flange skillet. The handle “T” ID tag is broken off so that the diver can ‘squeeze’ the handle together to facilitate the removal of the SBX GIT.
