THE IRONHEART SYSTEM - FEATURES AND BENEFITS
ADJUSTABLE PIPE SUPPORTS  All headers that overhang the base plate are provided with adjustable pipe supports. Not all floors are level. Having the adjustable support allows you to be sure the headers are properly supported per Hydraulic Institute. This reduces issues with the pumps as a result of pipe strain.
HEADERS MANUFACTUREDWITH THE T-DRILL PROCESS There are a few ways to add branch piping to a run. Most manufacturers use the saddle method. This is where a window is cut in the run pipe and a branch with a saddle is added. SyncroFlo invested in a T-Drill collaring machine that fabricates the tee directly from the run material. This eliminates the need for factory tees or saddles. This collaring process ultimately allows for stronger pipe and welds than the saddled alternative, as well as improved flow characteristics and cleanliness on the piping interior. All branch piping is welded to the header using the GTAW process. During the welding process, the piping is back purged with an inert gas to eliminate oxidations around the weld. This process is known as sugaring.
LUG STYLE BUTTERFLY VALVES  With the 100% flanged system, lug style butterfly valves were the natural solution for pump isolation. Advantages to butterfly valves include lighter weight, shorter lay length and ¼ turn operation for rapid open/close cycle.
SILENT CHECK VALVES WITH VERY LOW PRESSURE DROP 3’  These silent check valves have been designed to be fully open at 3 FPS. Other check valves on the market (with a heavier disc) require flow rates of up to 11 FTS to be fully open. Partially open discs create a flow obstruction, which causes a higher pressure drop. A virtually unobstructed full opening at low flows and lower pressure drop lead to longer service of the valves.
