FAQ's of 3/8" NPT(F)-1/4" OD SS304/SS316 Female Connector:
Q: How does the tool-free assembly feature benefit installation?
A: The tool-free assembly enables quick and easy connector installation without specialized equipment, saving time and reducing labor costs, while ensuring a reliable and leak-proof fit.
Q: What types of media is this connector compatible with?
A: This connector is versatile, supporting a wide range of media including air, oil, water, and gas, making it suitable for various industrial and commercial fluid delivery systems.
Q: When should I choose SS316 over SS304 for this connector?
A: You should select SS316 if your application involves exposure to chlorides or harsh corrosive environments, as SS316 provides higher resistance to chloride-induced corrosion compared to SS304.
Q: Where can this connector be used effectively?
A: It is designed for both indoor and outdoor environments, thanks to its rust protection and high operating temperature range (-20C to 400C). Common usage scenarios include chemical plants, oil & gas facilities, and general piping systems.
Q: What is the process for installing this connector?
A: Simply align the straight-type connector with the mating component, insert the tube, and secure using the ANSI B1.20.1 threaded interface. Its metal-to-metal seal forms a reliable connection without the need for tools.
Q: What are the benefits of the metal-to-metal seal and one-piece body construction?
A: The metal-to-metal seal ensures a robust, leak-free joint that withstands high pressures up to 9000 psi, while the one-piece body design reduces weak points and simplifies maintenance.
Q: Is this product compliant with safety and environmental standards?
A: Yes, the connector is RoHS compliant, meaning it is free from hazardous substances and adheres to safety and environmental regulations.
