Key Features & Advantages
Easy Serviceability & Leak-Free Reconnection
Design: Features a three-piece union design (two end pieces and a center nut). This allows pipes to be disconnected and reconnected quickly without any axial rotation, preventing stress on the piping system.
Benefit: Dramatically reduces maintenance downtime. The integrated PTFE gasket or cone-and-seat design ensures a reliable, leak-tight seal that can be reused multiple times without performance loss.
Exceptional Chemical Resistance
Material: Fabricated from 100% virgin PTFE, ensuring no additives or contaminants.
Benefit: Offers complete inertness to a vast array of aggressive media, protecting both the system and the fluid from contamination and corrosion.
Wide Thermal Stability & High Purity
Temperature Range: Operates reliably from -200°C to +260°C.
Surface: Ultra-smooth, non-stick surface (< 0.2 µm Ra) prevents fouling, ensures cleanability, and is ideal for ultra-pure applications.
Robust Pressure Rating & Mechanical Strength
Pressure Capacity: Rated for working pressures up to 10 bar (145 psi) at 20°C.
Construction: Precision-machined for perfect alignment and uniform sealing force when the union nut is tightened, guaranteeing structural integrity.
Versatile Configurations
Sizes: Available in standard sizes from DN8 (¼") up to DN50 (2").
End Connections: Can be supplied with female threaded ends (NPT, BSPP), flanged ends, or a mix to suit existing pipeline configurations.
