JACO, 15-6-4-N-SG, Reducing Union Connector, 3/8" Tube x 1/4" MPT, Nylon Construction, Stainless Steel Gripper
Features:
- Stainless Steel Gripper for use with hard surfaced 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.
- It is a tough, strong fitting of abrasion-resistant material with excellent impact resistance, both single and repeated.
- The temperature rating is between -40°F to 250°F, and it has good strength at high temperatures.
- Since Nylon naturally absorbs water it is typically not preferred for wet applications. The moisture acts as a plasticizer, reducing tensile strength and stiffness, and increasing elongation. However, as moisture content rises, significant increases occur in impact strength and energy-absorbing characteristics. Dry state properties will return as the material dries out.
- Nylon fitting has good chemical resistance to orga-nic solvents, oils, hydrocarbons, and fuels.
Note: Nylon 6 has poor chemical resistance to strong acids and bases. It is not recommended for use with ammonium, boric acid, calcium, sulfuric acid, or hydrochloric acid. N.S.F. Listed. F.D.A. Listed. Tensile Strength = 8,800psi, Durometer = 75D to 90D. (Autoclavable - No).
