Valve Restraints

A Secure Solution

For improved safety, better valve retention and reduced fugitive emissions, Cook Compression specializes in high-security valve restraints.

Cook Compression HSR designs distribute load over multiple studs to significantly reduce typical installation torque requirements. Each stud requires less than half the torque of single-bolt designs, so installation is easier and loading on valves is more accurate. Just as important, HSR restraints stay tight without the need for periodic tightening.
