Electro Plus Fusion Machine

The Electro Plus Fusion Machine joins thermoplastic pipes and fittings in corrosion-resistant piping systems used in chemical processing facilities, pharmaceutical waste systems, semiconductor manufacturing, power plants, pulp and paper mills, and corrosive-waste disposal systems. Operated via a hand-held, user-friendly interface, the machine employs electrical resistance heating to join thermoplastic parts together. It can process multiple joints during a fusion cycle, and features a one-button repeat function for same-sized joints.

Flexadux T-7 White thermoplastic hose

The Flexadux T-7 White is a flexible, medium-weight, white thermoplastic hose that is reinforced with a spring steel helix and operates over a –40°F to 250°F range. Featuring a smooth interior to promote efficient air flow, it is made with FDA-acceptable materials and designed for a wide range of fume and dry material extraction applications in clean rooms.

SYGEF PVDF (polyvinylidene fluoride) Exhaust Piping System

Designed to provide a non-corroding, safe system for the conveyance of aggressive exhaust gases and fumes, the SYGEF PVDF (polyvinylidene fluoride) Exhaust Piping System is suitable for state-of-the-art 300-mm semiconductor manufacturing plants as well as applications in the chemical and microelectronics markets. Using PVDF eliminates pipe deterioration issues caused from transporting corrosive exhaust media. The system meets the stringent FM4910 standard and has been tested per standard ULC S102.2 with a documented flame spread value of 0 and smoke spread value of 50.

Press System

Press System press-to-connect copper fittings, valves, and associated tools, are designed for process water, potable water and mechanical HVAC applications. This flame-free method requires no flux, solder or other  joining material, providing distinct time-saving advantages over soldering or brazing. The system features copper and dezincification-resistant brass alloy, and O-ring seals for use with K, L and M wall copper tube.

Air-Pro Compressed Air Piping Systems

Air-Pro Compressed Air Piping Systems are available in sizes ranging from 1/2-in. to 12-in. The systems offer socket, butt and electro-fusion fittings in a variety of styles, including tees, reducing tees, 90s, 45s and more. They are safe and reliable, offering fast, low-cost installations, which are made easier by a unique tapping saddle that reduces both drops and required welds.

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.

Hose Track Identification and Lifecycle Analysis System

The Hose Track Identification and Lifecycle Analysis System modernizes the conventional pen-and-paper log book method of recording usage data for process equipment. Its updated brochure includes an easy-to-read chart that highlights the differences. This patented system features an enhanced level of safety and security to processing functions performed in critical industries, including chemical, pharmaceutical, biotech, food and beverage, and others involving high-purity applications.

Hydraulic System Components and Accessories

This 338-page catalog on an interactive CD highlights products in six categories: clamps (pipe, tube, hose); test (couplings, adapters, hoses); diagtronics (gages, testers, monitoring systems); filtration (pressure, off-line, return line, components); accessories (strainers, diffusers, accumulators); and valves (high-pressure, stainless, flow control). The catalog features video, a filter selection program, English and metric dimensions, charts, technical drawings, and comprehensive cross-referencing.

Modular Tubing System

A modular tubing system that includes tubes, elbows, laterals, and butterfly and diverter valves is the subject of this new catalog. Among the new and redesigned products that are highlighted are a new loose flange product line, airtight butterfly valves, and adjustable elbows. Technical drawings and application notes are provided.

Double-Ferrule Instrumentation-Grade Tube Fittings

These double-ferrule instrumentation-grade tube fittings reduce the chance of hazardous and expensive leaks in instrumentation, process, pneumatic, hydraulic, gas and other tubing systems. Each fitting consists of a nut, a back ferrule, a front ferrule, and a body, and when installed with the tubing, becomes a five-piece connection with a solid leak-free joint. The two ferrules are tightly swaged around the tube and the lack of initial strain on the tubing ensures against tube wall damage.
