JACO, 15-10-6-P-PG, Reducing Union Connector, 5/8" Tube x 3/8" MPT, Polypropylene Construction, Plastic Gripper
Features:
- Plastic Gripper for plastic tubing: MAX 220 PSI
- Good electrical insulating qualities which eliminate electrolytic action that usually corrodes tubing when dissimilar metal meets a fitting.
- The ability to absorb mechanical and acoustical vibrations because of the low density and softness of plastic.
- Inherently low resistance to flow, due to smooth internal surface.
- Resistance to scale buildup.
- Fitting of Polypropylene with 20% glass filled for improved strength.
- The temperature rating is -30°F to 225°F. It is resistant to environmental stress cracking.
- Polypropylene (PP) fitting has a lightweight and is high in chemical resistance. It is unaffected by alkalis (bases), salts, and most weak acids, (particularly hydrochloric and phosphoric acids).
- Below 175°F it has good resistance to orga-nic solvents.
- It is not suitable for oxidants, strong acids, chlorinated hydrocarbons, high concentrations of free chlorine, and aromatic compounds (such as benzene and toluene).
Note: PP is very inert, thus popular for high purity applications such as deionized water, etc. Avoid use in continuous sunlight. N.S.F. 14 certified, N.S.F. 61 compliant. Tensile Strength of 4,500 psi increases to 6,400 psi with glass fill. Durometer = 70D to 80D, (Autoclavable - yes).
