Benefits & Applications
- Panel-mounted design ensures clean, accessible connections through panels or enclosures, reducing clutter behind control boards or mounting surfaces.
- Shut-off feature lets you disconnect lines without draining or depressurizing the entire system, saving time and reducing leaks during maintenance.
- Acetal construction balances strength, chemical resistance, and low weight—ideal for industrial, pneumatic, or fluid systems.
- Wide temperature tolerance supports use in cold environments (–40 °F) up to moderate heat conditions (180 °F).
- Reliable pressure rating (120 psi) covers a broad range of typical industrial and lab pneumatic/fluid systems.
- Certifications (FDA, NSF, etc.) make it suitable where regulatory compliance is needed (though only for non-potable fluids as specified).
Suggested Use Cases
- Pneumatic control systems in manufacturing or automation panels
- Instrumentation enclosures where modular tubing connections are needed
- Laboratory or process setups requiring frequent line changes
- Applications needing reliable quick-disconnects with shut-off capability
