YakoFix leak-control installer
A specialist tool designed to help trained industrial responders install compatible plugs and patches on selected low-pressure liquid leaks.
Low-pressure liquids · Not pressurized gasCompatible systems · Edwards & Cromwell AE plugs and patchesTraining required · Professional use
Designed for controlled intervention
Support for selected leak-control tasks.
YakoFix is intended for use with compatible leak-control consumables in situations assessed by competent personnel. The correct configuration depends on the opening, surface, fluid and operating conditions.
An application-specific tool
The system supports installation of compatible screw patches, T-patches, ball plugs and taper plugs. Typical application sizes are approximately 6–100 mm, depending on the leak geometry, surface and selected consumable.
- For selected low-pressure liquid leaks in suitable industrial applications
- Works with compatible Edwards & Cromwell AE plugs and patches
- Designed to support installation while the operator works from a safer position when the situation and procedure allow
- Training and a task-specific risk assessment are required before use
Tool design
Built to connect with compatible leak-control components.
YakoFix is designed around a controlled coupling and tightening sequence for the supported consumables.
Quick-tightening head
The male head is designed for quick tightening when used with the selected compatible plug or patch.
Toggle nut mechanism
The toggle nut supports installation from a distance in compatible setups, helping the user maintain a safer position when conditions allow.
Application boundaries
Know the limits before selecting a tool.
YakoFix is a component of a trained response, not a substitute for isolation, process safety, or site-specific emergency procedures.
Liquid leaks
Designed for selected low-pressure liquid leak-control applications. The chemical, temperature, pressure and surface condition must be checked for each task.
Plugs and patches
Use only compatible consumables and configurations. Confirm the plug or patch selection against the leak shape, opening, substrate and manufacturer guidance.
Site risk assessment
YakoFix is not ATEX-certified equipment. Material selection and static-control provisions support assessment for EX-area use; the employer or responsible authority must determine suitability for the specific zone and task.
Not for pressurized gas. Do not use YakoFix for gas leaks or outside the product instructions, compatible consumables, training and site procedures.
A disciplined workflow
Assessment comes before installation.
This overview is not an operating instruction. Use the current YakoFix guide, approved training and the facility’s response procedures.
Assess
Identify the fluid, pressure, temperature, leak geometry, surface and hazards. Isolate where required by site procedures.
Select
Choose a compatible plug or patch, size and tool configuration for the assessed conditions.
Install
A trained user follows the current operating guide and maintains the controls established for the task.
Verify
Check the result and continue monitoring or escalation as directed by site response procedures.
Construction
Materials selected for a demanding tool.
The YakoFix body is die-cast aluminium alloy with a protective coating. The front tube, shaft and female head use Grade 2 titanium.
Material selection alone does not certify equipment for a hazardous area; confirm suitability for the specific application and site controls.
