Carbide Attachments For Pipeline Pigs

Direct-mount carbide attachments engineered for maximum cleaning performance. Order factory direct only.

Parts that screw directly into the pig body

Our DPC and DPR bodies have specially designed threads which screw directly into the body of the pig. Designed for harder durometer cast or molded pigs — they will not pull out easily.

No special tooling required
01
Drill a pilot hole

A small pilot hole must first be drilled into the pig body at the desired insert location.

02
Thread directly in

The sharp threads screw directly into the pig body — no special tooling, no molded-in inserts required.

03
Run your operation

The carbide tips aggressively remove buildup, scale, and coking as the pig travels through the pipeline.

DPC — Durable scale and buildup removal

The DPC series is very durable and will remove buildup and scale from many surfaces. Available in 3 stock lengths — 1/2", 3/4", and 1" thread lengths. A 1-1/2" long part is available by special order.
