Parker Instrumentation has published a 24-page guide to an innovative new design of ferrule-less fluid connector, which provides permanent connections for instrumentation systems operating to 1379 bar
Assembled by means of a push-fit operation taking seconds, the new Phastite connectors can reduce installation costs by a factor of 90% or more compared with welded or cone-and-thread fittings.
The guide describes the technology and sealing principle, and then provides detailed specifications and selection information for all the various shapes and sizes of fitting, and the associated assembly tool.
