JACO, 15-6-K-O, Union Connector, 3/8" Tube, Kynar® Construction, Ferrule Nut with Integral Sleeve
Features:
- 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 has remarkable strength over the largest working chemical range.
- It is rated at -80°F to 275°F and has a working temperature range for fittings of -40°F to 250°F.
PVDF's fitting impact strength is over twice that of PVC fitting and is extremely durable and abrasion-resistant under mechanical abuse. It also has outstanding aging resistance, with its properties remaining constant after many years. PVDF fitting also has remarkable fire-resistant properties. They are non-flammable and self-extinguishing. PVDF fitting has excellent chemical resistance against strong inorga-nic and orga-nic acids, aliphatic and aromatic hydrocarbons, and halogenated solvents such as chlorine and bromine. PVDF fitting is not suitable with fuming sulfuric acid, concentrated alkalis, hot bases, or bases having a PH >12. PVDF fitting is FDA compliant, absolutely non-toxic, and can be used in repeated contact with food products. N.S.F. Listed. Tensile Strength = 5,900 psi. Durometer = 75D. (Autoclavable - yes).
Today, JACO fittings are widely used with all types of tubing including copper, plastic, aluminum, stainless steel, and glass.
