VULKAN LOKRING provides a perfectly adjusted range of tube and hose connections for the repair of refrigerant lines in automotive air conditioning systems.
The TUV certified systems LOKRING and LOKCLIP can fix almost any damage caused to automobile air-conditioning systems.
In fact, in a favourable installation situation the defective line does not even need to be disassembled and workshops can service on the spot.
The LOKRING and LOKCLIP connection technology make for easier repair connections in the refrigerant circuit.
Conventional methods such as soldering, welding or thread cutting are time-consuming, cause damaging soiling and lead to weak spots in the refrigerant circuit.
In contrast, the LOKRING / LOKCLIP system enables connection of a wide range of different materials to one another – without diminishing the quality of the connection.
The patented LOKRING system enables the straightforward and inexpensive repair of refrigerant lines.
Automotive manufacturers have relied on this "clean" connection for many years now, which explains why many automobile air-conditioning systems are equipped with LOKRING connections from the outset.
The TUV tested LOKRING connection is hermetically sealed and pressure-resistant up to 50 bar with a fourfold safety factor. Furthermore, the LOKRING connections operate safely in a temperature range of -50 °C to +150 °C.
The LOKCLIP technology is the perfect complement to the LOKRING system as it provides a simple and low-cost alternative to pressed and screwed connections for hoses.
LOKCLIPs can be used to set up both hose-to-hose and hose-to-tube connections for all conceivable repair situations.
The system, which comprises stainless steel clips, a clip position holder and contoured joint, practically excludes application mistakes during assembly.
In addition the SAE J2064, LOKCLIPs meet all required standards.
The advantages of the LOKRING and LOKCLIP connection technology are quite clear. It can be used for any vehicle type and model or year, and is a cost-effective method that takes into account the current vehicle value.
The solder-free tube connection is 100% eco-friendly and clean, and no harmful residues are left in the pipeline.
