Mainline Control Systems’ (MCS) state-of-the-art Kleiss MCS systems provide safe stopping of natural gas flow in pipelines. Their flexible, portable systems allow for streamlined in-place pipeline repairs and new line connections.
MCS offers a distinctive design with a patented sealing component, the multi-dimensional safety (MDS) stopper. Rather than squeezing pipe to stop natural gas flow, the MDS stopper safely blocks flow from within the pipeline. This eliminates undue stress on the original pipeline material. And Kleiss MCS systems work on polyethylene, steel, cast iron, or PVC, in a wide variety of sizes. This great flexibility removes the need to have different equipment for each type of pipeline in your natural gas systems.

The flexibility of the MCS systems isn’t just limited to pipeline material and size. The product lines have been specifically engineered to minimize weight, volume, and number of pieces. The Kleiss MCS equipment is lightweight and designed to be moved and installed by hand. No large equipment is required to place and use Kleiss MCS systems. Crew size can be smaller, since no special handling equipment is needed.
The Kleiss MCS flow stopping systems allow your field crews to work efficiently, safely stopping natural gas flow for in-line repairs, maintenance, and new connections. Stresses on the pipeline materials being worked on are minimized. No special or heavy equipment is needed to use these systems. And one Kleiss MCS system can work for a variety of pipeline sizes and materials. All this makes MCS equipment a great investment for your natural gas pipeline system.
