This fitting is a push in fitting so you just push the line in from both sides. It is mainly used where a stronger connection is required on a rigid port.
One side is a standard 8mm (5/16) duotight push in fitting, where the other side is a compression adapted duotight (Screw Lock) for 1/4″ / 6.35mm rigid fittings.
This fitting also comes in a duotight 8mm x 8mm Screwlock.
duotight – 8mm (5/16) x 6.35mm (1/4) Screwlock Reducer Elbow
These high quality acetal fittings are made with EPDM o-rings that are reliable, will not perish like cheaper rubber. The acetal plastic is also chemical and UV resistant so it will last for a long time even in testing conditions.
This product is ideally suited to these two types of line:
EVABarrier 4mm ID x 8mm (5/16″) OD
EVABarrier 4mm ID x 8mm (5/16″) OD
No clamps necessary!
We do recommend cutting your hosing straight, not on an angle, to ensure the line has a complete seal. To remove the fitting simply push in the collet and the hose can be removed. These push in fittings are suitable to be used up to 100 psi
These push in fittings have been engineered for maximised performance in both gas and liquid applications. Compared to other push in fittings on the market, duotight takes the double safety approach to all of the connections with two EPDM o-rings per hose port. No other push ins on the market have EPDM o-rings, let alone two! per push in connection.
What is EPDM?
EPDM = Ethylene Propylene Rubber which has excellent chemical resistance including being compatible with ozone, oils, wide variety of alkaline and acid compounds, water, alcohol, ketone and beverages.
EPDM is also resistant to aging, weather and will not perish easily like other rubber compounds. When compared with silicon and vinyl EPDM has better gas transmission rates, better wear resistance, is BPA free and is the number one choice for many long lasting food grade applications.
