FITTINGS DIVISION
JACO understands
the needs of the plastics industry from knowing how businesses
operate to in-depth engineering design and applications.
For more than 50 years we have constantly looked for ways
to make plastic parts better. And we've developed solutions
in new technologies, equipment and products that have been
solid contributors to industry.
Compression type metallic fittings have a loose ferrule
which requires extra assembly. JACO
has been able to mold the sleeve as an integral part of
the nut, eliminating the need for a two-piece assembly.
Although fittings were originally developed for copper tubing,
other fittings were then later engineered with plastic grippers
for plastic tubing.
Today, JACO fittings
are widely used with all types of tubing including copper,
plastic, aluminum and glass.
We offer four different plastic resins for a range of applications
dealing with temperatures, acids and chemicals. JACO
plastic fittings offer these additional advantages:
Good electrical insulating qualities which eliminate electrolytic
action that usually corrodes tubing when dissimilar metal
meets a fitting. The ability to absorb mechanical and acoustical
vibrations because of the low density and softness of plastic.
An inherently low resistance to flow, due to smooth internal
surface. A resistance to scale buildup.
JACO fittings are
available in size ranges from 1/8" through 7/8"
tube O.D. in all common figurations, such as union, bulkhead,
male and female connectors, male branch and male run tees,
tee unions and ferrule nuts. Metric sizes are also available
on a special order basis.
Various resins are used, depending on the application.
JACO plastic fittings
are made of either nylon, acetal copolymer, polypropylene,
or polyvinylidene fluoride.
Nylon Bushings, Collars, and Washers are Available in Many Sizes – Contact the Factory for a Quote: sales@jacomfg.com
