The Subsea Distribution Alliance (SDA) was delighted to exhibit at Subsea Tieback 2026, bringing together expertise and technologies from Connector Subsea Solutions, HTS Dynamics and TESS AS.
The event gave SDA a valuable opportunity to connect with professionals from across the subsea industry, share insights, and showcase technologies built for performance, reliability and efficiency in demanding offshore environments. Interest was shown in our Small-Bore Ball Valves and Hydraulic and Chemical Couplings throughout the exhibition.
Product Highlight: Small Bore Ball Valves

A key highlight was the world’s first 2″ soft seated subsea ball valves qualified to 15 000 psi. Designed with reduced material usage and a more compact build, these valves help lower overall weight in both manufacturing and transportation, while also reducing potential leak paths by 80%.

Also featured as part of SDA’s presence at Subsea Tieback 2026 were Hydraulic and Chemical Couplings, designed for high flow and low separation force in a compact, efficient format.
These couplings are built with adaptable housing to suit variations of MQC plate design, giving greater flexibility for customer requirements. While also offering a 50% reduction in potential leak paths, to support a more reliable and streamlined subsea distribution solution.
