JACO, 40-4-4-C-PG, Male Elbow, 1/4" x 1/4" Male Pipe Thread, Celcon Construction, Plastic Gripper
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 high tensile strength and good wear resistance over a broad range of temperatures.
- It is rated at -40°F to 200°F in the open air, and rated for 180°F in hot water applications.
- Not affected by continuous hot water service and works smoothly with metal and hard surface tubing.
Today, JACO fittings are widely used with all types of tubing including copper, plastic, aluminum, stainless steel, and glass.
Note: Acetal copolymer cannot be recommended for continuous exposure to solutions with a chlorine concentration greater than 1 ppm. (Many water treatment facilities use up to 4 ppm of chlorine concentration.) Acetal is unaffected by formaldehyde, oil, alcohols, and most inorga-nics. However, it is not recommended for use with acids. Good resistance to methylethylketone and has a low moisture absorption rate. Listed by U.S.D.A and F.D.A. for use with coffee, milk, and antibiotics. Also, N.S.F. is Listed. Should not be continuously exposed to sunlight (UV). Tensile Strength = 8,800psi, Durometer = 90D to 95D. (Autoclavable - No).
