Positionable Straight Thread

Positionable Straight Thread

↪ These fittings allow for the adjustment or positioning of the connected components while maintaining a sealed relationship.
↪ Positionable straight-thread fittings are components used in fluid and pneumatic systems to create connections between tubes or hoses.

Products:

↪ Swivel Elbows: Used to change the direction of tubing or hose connections while allowing for rotational adjustment.

↪ Swivel Tees: Provide a T-shaped connection with one swivel end, allowing for flexibility in tubing or hose orientation.

↪ Swivel Adapters: Enable connection between different thread types or sizes while allowing for rotational adjustment.

↪ Articulated Fittings: Offer multiple points of articulation, allowing for complex adjustments or positioning in confined spaces.

↪ Adjustable Angle Fittings: These allow for adjustable angles between connected components, providing flexibility in system design and installation.

↪ Union Fittings: are used to join two tubes or hoses with a straight-through connection, often with one or both ends swivelling for adjustment.

↪ Bulkhead Fittings: These fittings are designed for installation through panels or walls. They provide a sealed connection on both sides, and one or both ends can swivel.

↪ Banjo Fittings: Feature a hollow bolt with a hose connection perpendicular to the bolt axis. They are often used in automotive and hydraulic applications.

↪ Hydraulic Couplings: Provide quick-connect and disconnect functionality for hydraulic systems, often with swivelling ends for flexibility.

➢ Sealing: Proper sealing is essential to prevent leaks in the fluid or pneumatic system. Depending on the application and the type of fitting used, sealing may be achieved through the use of O-rings, gaskets, thread sealant, or other sealing methods.

➢ Installation: Positionable straight thread fittings are installed by screwing the threaded end into a compatible port or component using a suitable wrench or tool. The articulated joint allows for flexibility and adjustment as needed during installation or operation.

➢ Design: Positionable straight thread fittings typically consist of a threaded end that attaches to a mating threaded port or component and a swivel or articulated joint that allows for movement or adjustment. The swivel joint may incorporate ball bearings or a similar mechanism to facilitate smooth rotation.

➢ Applications: These fittings are used in a wide range of industries and applications, including hydraulic systems, pneumatic systems, fluid transfer systems, industrial machinery, automotive systems, and more. They are beneficial in applications where precise alignment or adjustment of components is required.
