Features

  • PFA body made from virgin, high purity materials
  • Ideally suited for corrosive environments and chemical applications
  • Less surface particulate resulting in cleaner operation
  • Easy to disconnect and reuse
  • Excellent lock and seal ability
  • Numerous configurations available

Notes

With a fitting body made from virgin, high purity PFA fluoropolymer, PURELOC is ideal for ultra-pure fluid applications where contamination-free systems are used. This includes semiconductor manufacturing, food and beverage processing, medical and biomedical, laboratory, chromatography equipment, and the chemical industries.

 

The gripper coupled with the precision-made ferrule provides excellent leak-tight connections and prevents tubing blow-out.

 

Materials of Construction:
Wetted: PFA body, PTFE ferrule

Non-wetted: PFA nut, titanate filled ETFE gripper

 

Pressure Ranges:
125 PSIG (8.6 bar)

Assembly Instructions

 

Cut tubing (A) cleanly at 90°.

 

Push tubing through small end of nut (B), gripper (C), ferrule (D), and seat the tubing end into the fitting body as far as it will go (E).

 

Thread the nut onto the body and finger tighten while assuring that tubing remains seated in bottom of fitting. To complete the installation, tighten nut with a wrench at least one additional turn. Avoid overtightening.
