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.
