Parker Instrumentation's radical new design of tube connector that can deliver huge cost savings...
Assembled by means of a simple push-fit operation, the new industrial connectors provide permanent connections for fluid systems operating at up to 20,000 PSI / 1,379 bar. For permanent connections, and these elevated pressures, system builders would typically use either welded or 'cone and thread' style industrial fittings, which are time consuming and expensive to install. Compared with these products, Parker Instrumentation estimates that its new Phastite connectors could reduce installation costs by a factor of 90% or more.
The connectors are supplied as one-piece components. To make a joint, all that's required is to insert the tube, and then push the collar along the connector body until it reaches a dead stop. This operation is performed by a simple handheld hydraulic tool and takes a few seconds.
Phastite is much faster to assemble than welded and cone and thread fittings and deskills the process, removing a major element of industrial system building cost.
The Phastite range includes straight union, union elbow, 'tee' and union cross connector shapes in imperial and metric sizes from 1/4 to 1/2 inch or 6 to 12 mm.
