This DuoTight 8mm (5/16") x ½" BSP Male Thread Bulkhead With Seated O-Ring is ideally used with the 60cm Stainless Steel Thermowell for use in the FermZilla Range, Kegmenter Range or even drilled into an HDPE Fermenter.
This DuoTight Fitting is an extremely high quality push-in fitting with superior sealing capacity due to the Double O-Ring sealing design.
The Bulkhead with Locknut is designed to go through the wall of a tank, housing, wall or panel. Simply fit to the wall, housing, wall or panel and push the tubing in from both sides to join.
If is not required to be used for a Thermowell purpose, this fitting can still be used with the EVABarrier EVABarrier 5mm ID x 8mm OD or EVABarrier 4mm ID x 8mm OD Lines.
Operating Pressure:
100psi
Compatibility:
EVABarrier 5mm ID x 8mm OD or EVABarrier 4mm ID x 8mm OD Lines.
This fitting is NOT compatible with 6mm ID x 10mm OD Line. There are larger 10mm DuoTight Fittings that are sold separately for this application.
PLEASE NOTE:
The unit includes Locking Nut (suitable for the Temp Twister).
It is recommended that the tube is cut straight, not at an angle, to ensure the line has a complete seal.
To remove the fitting, simply push in the collet and the tube can then be removed.
Additional Information:
The secret to the superior sealing performance is not just the fact that a high quality EPDM O-Ring is used but there are two of them. The Double O-Ring means that there is literally have twice the sealing surface when compared with other push in fittings.
This makes the DuoTight fittings even more reliable and reduces the chance of leakages significantly.
The Double O-Ring System also means that a tube can be bend in a much tighter radius without causing leaking issues.
No clamps required.
EPDM Rubber:
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.
