Straight 1/4″ tube x 3/8″ tube connectorTiger is manufacturer of high quality push-in fittings, pipe and plastic plumbing systems to a wide variety of industries, Tiger fittings are easy to use, simply push the tubing all the way in then pull on the tubing to lock for a high water pressure sealed connectionStraight Connector 1/4″ tube x 3/8″ tubeNo need for C clip to lock in tube Push-fit technologyQuick disconnection without the need for toolsHigh chemical resistanceFood Quality and suitable for potable liquids and pure water applicationsNot suitable for compressed air and vacuum applicationsFood Quality All these fittings are produced in Food and Drug Administration (FDA) compliant materials and are therefore recommended for food quality applicationsDouble O’rings, Tiger Fittings Double ProtectionHow Tiger fittings workTo make a connection, the tube is simply pushed in by hand; the unique patented Tiger double O’ring locking system then holds the tube firmly in place without deforming it or restricting flow. Materials of construction Tiger fittings are made up of three components: Bodies are produced in an acetal copolymer or polypropylene. Double ‘O’ rings are Nitrile rubber or EPDM. Collets are produced in acetal copolymer or polypropylene with stainless steel teeth. To disconnect: push in collet and remove tube Tiger fittings are suitable for the following pressures and temperatures.Temp.Max Working Pressure 175 psi, 12 bar Fluid 5 ~ 45cAmbient -20 ~ 65cMax.Torque. Maximum Torque Values for Plastic Threads BSP, BSPT & NPT.Plastic threads are not generally as strong as brass threads. Customers and end users should be aware of this when choosing products for their applications. Over-tightening of plastic threads will cause undue stress and eventual cracking and leakage. The maximum torque figures for BSP and BSPT threads used in Tiger fittings in mating threads conforming to the relevant BS or International thread standards.
