Improved tube connector ensures easy assembly

These tube connections feature a flared-cone technology design that allows for rapid installation with minimal training (compared to traditional cone-and-thread tube connections).The new connector design (photo) combines the makeup and installation simplicity of compression-style connections with the strength of cone-and-thread connections, and provides more features and higher pressure capabilities than similar technologies, according to the company. The design prevents tube ejection and provides a redundant, second seal for enhanced reliability. Designed for working pressures as high as 22,500 psi (1,550 bars), the FCC technology advances the performance of compression-style tube connections, providing users with a simple and reliable means of speeding the assembly of instrument tubing systems for use in higher-pressure applications. — Parker Hannifin, Cleveland, Ohio
