Dixon Solution

• Based on the math, the total cost savings by installing a Dixon 2-piece repair rather than installing a 1-piece nut is $27.
• That’s a 23% savings, not including the labor productivity gained to perform other critical tasks.
• And, if the equipment has a failed nut, and is on an active hydraulic fracturing worksite, the dollars saved for uptime rather than downtime can be significant!
