Techcon 1/4 Inch Tube to 1/4 NPT Male Fitting, Stainless Steel

Description

This Techcon fitting connects 1/4 in OD tube directly to a 1/4 NPT male port in 303 stainless steel, a straightforward dispenser parts upgrade for shops standardizing fluid delivery lines across pressure pots, manifolds, and spray valve inlets on a fixed dispensing station.

Where this dispenser parts fitting is used

Techcon’s pressure pot and manifold hardware, including the TS1254 and TS1258 pressure pots and the TS918 four-way manifold, uses a mix of 1/4 NPT and 3/8 in OD tube connections between the fluid reservoir and the dispensing valve. This fitting bridges a 1/4 in OD tube line to a 1/4 NPT threaded port without an adapter stack, which keeps a retrofit or repair job to a single part instead of two mismatched fittings threaded together. Maintenance techs replacing a cracked or corroded plastic fitting on an older feed line often step up to stainless at this connection point, since it is the fitting most exposed to reactive fluid vapor near the pot outlet.

Specs

• Tube connection: 1/4 in OD, through-style compression
• Thread connection: 1/4 NPT male
• Material: 303 stainless steel
• Rated to the 100 psi (6.9 bar) system pressure common across Techcon pressure pots and manifolds
• Corrosion resistant to most solvents and reactive adhesive and sealant chemistries

Ordering this dispenser parts fitting

Keep a few of these on hand wherever a pressure pot or manifold feeds a spray valve or needle valve through NPT-threaded ports. Stainless construction resists the solvents and reactive fluids common in adhesive and sealant lines, so this fitting holds up in service longer than a brass or nylon substitute, and it will not degrade the way a plastic compression fitting can under UV or ozone exposure near a spray booth.

Manifold and pressure pot port specifications are published in the Techcon product catalog.
