An innovative, multi-use and cost effective gasket insertion tool designed with safety and efficiency in mind. Smarter, but simple in design and application. 

The SWT gasket insertion tool’s unique stainless steel clamp design is available for all gasket types and sizes, commonly but not limited to SBX, BX, R and IX compact gaskets.

Full Description

The Saltwater Installation Tool is a specialist subsea device designed to help divers install Ring Type Joint (RTJ) gaskets safely and accurately underwater. The tool provides secure grip and controlled positioning in low-visibility and cold-water conditions, making gasket installation faster and more reliable during offshore intervention work.

Manufactured from marine-grade stainless steel with corrosion-resistant components, the tool is engineered to withstand saltwater exposure and repeated subsea use. Its ergonomic design ensures a firm hold even when divers are operating with heavy gloves, improving installation accuracy and reducing handling time.

The pre-set elevation arms position the gasket in the flange recess precisely, allowing confident mating of the flanges, even in poor visibility. The simple clamp mechanism allows ease of removal for re-use on multiple spool installations.

Applications

All subsea diver gasket installations.
