polytetrafluoroethylene (PTFE) cam-lock, quick-connect coupling
The polytetrafluoroethylene (PTFE) cam-lock, quick-connect coupling complements Fluor-O-Flo PTFE-threaded piping systems. Suited for corrosive liquid-flow applications, the coupling can be used both as a standalone product or as part of a PTFE- threaded piping system. When used as part of a system, the coupling speeds up the installation process by providing system points independent of thread-tightening angles. The coupling also provides an easy attachment point for components, such as tanks, that must be periodically removed or replaced. The internal fluorinated ethylene propylene (FEP)-encapsulated silicone O-rings ensures process purity and corrosion resistance in all process conditions. The couplings are available in Schedule 80 pipe sizes from 1/2-in. to 4-in., with both male and female NPT  thread connection options. The cam-locking levers are stainless steel and can be replaced if needed. In addition to the chemicals industry, the couplings are ideal for pharmaceuticals, semiconductors, water treatment, and paper-and-pulp applications.

Fluor-O-Shield basket strainers
Constructed of polyvinylidene fluoride (PVDF), all-plastic Fluor-O-Shield basket strainers cost less than units that are lined with steel or other metals, and outperform ordinary plastic strainers made from polyvinyl chloride (PVC), chlorinated polyvinyl chloride (CPVC), polypropylene and acetal materials. Unlike previously available plastic strainers, these can handle corrosive materials, including halogens and many acids, and they can operate at temperatures up to 300°F. They remove suspended or waste solids from corrosive or high-purity fluid streams to prevent damage to sensitive downstream equipment, such as pumps, valves, instruments and spray nozzles. The strainers are impervious to ultraviolet (UV) radiation, are FDA-compliant, and have high rigidity and resistance to creep under mechanical loads. They are suitable for the chemical, pharmaceutical, semiconductor, pulp and paper, food and beverage, water treatment and similar process industries
