Quick Plug Fittings Overview
Quick plug fittings are brass push-in tube fittings designed for use with polyethylene, nylon, polybutylene, or soft metal tubing. These fittings offer a quick connect and disconnect feature, allowing for easy assembly and disassembly without the need for tools. This design can save up to 75% of assembly time compared to standard compression fittings. Additionally, quick plug fittings are reusable, enabling multiple connections and disconnections as needed.
Engineering and Design Features
The engineering of quick plug fittings includes a full-flow design that provides up to 60% more flow area than conventional fittings with internal tube supports. They ensure a positive seal immediately upon tubing insertion, preventing leaks. The fittings also offer secure tube retention, where pulling on the tube only serves to tighten the connection. Constructed with a brass body and insert, along with a Buna-N O-ring seal, these fittings are self-contained with no loose parts.
Versatility and Applications
Quick plug fittings are versatile and suitable for use with various tubing materials, including polyethylene, nylon, and soft metal tubing. They are available in a full line of styles and sizes to meet diverse application needs. The fittings are constructed from brass, with elbows and tees being forged brass, ensuring durability and reliability in various industrial settings.
General Specifications
These fittings are suitable for use up to the maximum working pressure of the plastic tube used, with a recommended maximum working pressure of 750 PSI for soft copper tubes. They are also suitable for vacuum service. The working temperature range is from -10 degrees to 200 degrees Fahrenheit, with other ranges available upon request. Pipe threads are NPTF, and options such as Viton or other materials for O-rings, as well as chrome or electroless nickel-plating, are available.
