Straight Fittings What it is A straight inline connector designed to join two tubes or pipes in a direct, uninterrupted run. The straight bore preserves a consistent flow path and simplifies assembly by providing a single, straight connection every time. Key benefits - Direct flow path: minimizes turbulence and pressure drop by maintaining a straight bore through the connection. - Versatile compatibility: available in sizes and interfaces to match standard tubing and piping configurations used with this product line. - Reliable seal and fit: engineered for a snug, secure connection when paired with the correct size and end type. - Easy installation: simple alignment and standard end connections support quick assembly with common tools. - Durable construction: built to withstand typical operating environments, with materials selected for strength, corrosion resistance, and long service life. Specifications and compatibility - Function: provides a straight link between two tubes or pipes with no bend or elbow. - Compatibility: designed to fit the standard connection types and size ranges offered for this product family; confirm exact size, thread type, and end finish for your application by selecting the appropriate part number. - Size options: available in multiple bore sizes and end configurations to suit different system requirements. - Material options: offered in material variants appropriate for different fluids, pressures, and environments; select the version that matches your application criteria. - Performance: crafted to maintain precise bore tolerances and smooth internal surfaces to support consistent flow and reliable operation under normal service conditions. Size and material options - Multiple bore diameters and thread types are available to suit common installation needs. - Material selections balance strength, temperature resistance, and chemical compatibility for the intended fluid and environment. - Finishes and treatments vary by model to optimize corrosion resistance and longevity in your system. Performance characteristics - Maintains a straight, unobstructed flow path to reduce flow resistance and potential turbulence. - Designed for predictable performance across a range of standard operating pressures suitable to the product line. - Built to resist wear and corrosion in typical service conditions, contributing to a longer service life. Installation guidance - Verify size and connection type before installation and ensure that tubing or piping ends are cut square and deburred. - Align the fitting with the corresponding tube or pipe ends to prevent cross-threading or damage. - Use appropriate tools and follow standard torque recommendations for the specified end type to achieve a secure, leak-tight connection. - Inspect the joint after assembly for proper seating and absence of gaps or misalignment. Use scenarios - Pneumatic systems: connect two sections of air line in a straight run between a regulator, valve, and actuator to maintain a direct, clean flow path. - Hydraulic or coolant circuits in small machinery: link straight segments to transfer fluids or coolants with minimal resistance and predictable flow. - General plumbing or irrigation setups where a straight, inline connection is required and the system design permits standard end configurations. Maintenance and care - Regularly check for signs of wear, leaks, or corrosion at connections and replace as needed. - Keep ends clean and free of debris to ensure a proper seal during reassembly. - Inspect the bore for any scoring or buildup that could affect flow, and service as required. Notes - For exact compatibility, sizing, and material specifications, refer to the specific part number and model details within this product line.
