Pipe Fitting Union Connector Mold
Union connector mold optimized for thread quality, sealing flatness and production-friendly maintenance.
Solution
The team simplified maintenance access, stabilized the thread area cooling and shared a clear startup parameter sheet with the client.
Result
The fitting assembled smoothly during customer trials and reached cost targets through shorter cycle times.
Program Notes
The union connector case is a straightforward example of production tooling shaped around assembly performance and serviceability.

Pipe Fitting Pipe Fitting PVC Tee Mold
PVC tee fitting mold designed for branch consistency, cleaner sealing surfaces and easier production startup.
- Challenge
- The tee fitting needed dimensional consistency at all three branches while minimizing ejector marks in the sealing area.
- Result
- The customer approved the tee fitting after T1 and reduced manual sizing corrections during startup.
Pipe Fitting Pipe Fitting 90 Degree Elbow Mold
Multi-cavity elbow fitting mold built for ovality control, balanced cooling and quick line qualification.
- Challenge
- The elbow geometry created uneven cooling around the bend, leading to dimensional drift and ovality risk.
- Result
- Ovality stayed within tolerance and the customer moved into serial production with limited tuning.
Pipe Fitting Pipe Fitting Ball Valve Body Mold
Valve body mold developed for pressure-sensitive geometry, core stability and consistent downstream assembly.
- Challenge
- The valve body required pressure-sensitive sealing geometry and dimensional control around the rotating core area.
- Result
- The customer achieved stable assembly torque and reduced rework on the downstream valve line.
