J.S. Barry Industries

Often times the isolation valve to a building hasn’t been exercised in years, is ancient, or simply doesn’t hold. In those situations, we have a few different options to provide isolation while you make the needed repairs or modifications to the piping systems in your building. This week we were able to perform an emergency line stop for a large manufacturer in Massachusetts whose planned shutdown was interrupted by an unreliable valve. We got the call late afternoon and had their building isolated first thing the next morning. #linestopping #linestops #linestop #hottaps #wettaps #isolation #emergencyservices #emergency #jsbarryindustries

Here’s another shot of our guys in action at a major commercial facility in downtown Boston. We performed (6) line stops simultaneously on 10” & 12” chilled water lines, holding back a 230psi system. Since most of the taps were size on size, we utilized full encirclement split tees to protect the structural integrity of the piping. Our line stops provided isolation so our customer could make much needed repairs for the end user without draining an extensive system. #linestops #linestopping #taps #hottaps #wettaps #sizeonsize #splittees #jsbarryindustries

We have mutiple ways we can isolate piping systems when there are no existing valves for our customers to rely on. We can either freeze the line, insert a mechanical or inflatable line stop, or install an insertion valve. Here is a situation where we needed to isolate a branch line close to a running main, ruling out the feasibility of a freeze. A mechanical line stop was the perfect solution, isolating the line so our customer could make the needed repairs while the rest of the system remained active. #linestopping #linestops #linestop #pipefreezing #pipefreeze #freeze #freezestop #jsbarryindustries

Today we performed a line stop on a 16” condenser water line at a medical research facility in Massachusetts. Our line stop provided isolation to one of the chillers so it could be modified while the rest of the chillers & system remained running. #linestopping #linestops #isolation #chillers #condenserwater #jsbarryindustries

When leaks get scary, call J.S. Barry! Last week we designed and installed a custom enclosure, sealing a leak on a 14” stainless steel steam line at a major power plant in the greater Boston area. Our repair mitigated safety concerns for the plant and we were able to keep them up and running. #leaksealing #leakrepairs #liveleaksealing #clamps #enclosures #steam #steamleaks #dontshutdown #jsbarryindustries #emergencyservices

We can seal leaks on any piping component on any system. Here we are recently, sealing a packing leak on an attemperator valve at a trash burning plant in New Hampshire. This was 940psi, 230 degree, boiler feedwater. We sealed the leak no problem. Keep us in mind before shutting down your systems! #leaksealing #liveleaksealing #leakrepairs #packingleak #boilerfeedwater #jsbarryindustries

This is a line stop we performed this week at a high profile manufacturing facility in Massachusetts. We inserted (2) 6” line stops to isolate a rooftop chiller while the rest of the system remained active. Our customer was able to install valves at the victaulic connetions. The chiller was disconnected and will be replaced. #linestops #linestop #linestopping #chiller #chillers #chilledwater #jsbarryindustries

This is an emergency leak repair we performed this week for a papermill in Northern Maine. We designed a custom 3” x 1/2” tee enclosure, sealing a leak on the thread-o-let of the 1/2” line. Our repair included strongbacks, which keep the compromised 1/2” line from separating from the 3”. This was a major concern of our customer. The system is 400psi, 300F, attemporator water. #leaksealing #leakrepairs #liveleaksealing #liveleakrepairs #dontshutdown #emergencyservice #jsbarryindustries

We seal leaks live on any component on any piping system. Water, steam, chemicals, we can seal your leak and keep your plant running! Here is an emergency leak we sealed live last week on a black liquor line at a paper mill in upstate New York. The plant was able to avoid a costly shutdown and keep their production running. #leaksealing #liveleaksealing #enclosures #clamps #leaksealingcontainmentdevice #emergency

The last couple of weeks we have been performing a large line stop project at a high profile commercial & retail facility in Boston. We isolated 16” condenser water & 18” chilled water, running as high as 230psi, so our customer could cut & weld in new valves. There’s no project too large or small! #linestopping #linestops #linestop #lineplugging #lineplugs #lineplug
