FasTest's FasTest Internal (FI) series
connectors
provide fast, leak-tight connections for pressure and vacuum testing, fluid
filling and flushing applications from vacuum to 120 psi. FI connectors
are activated as compressed regulated air acts on a piston within the
connector, which expands a seal to form a leak-tight connection- without pipe
sealant, wrenches and thread damage. Air, liquid or gas media can then be
introduced through the connector to accomplish testing, filling or flushing of
the equipment.
The
FI
series provides a solution for robotics or pick-and-place
applications that require delicate handling and/or testing. If there is an
error in an automated process that results in a part not arriving to the
specified location, a connector may still become pressurized, resulting in
over-expansion of the seal and potential damage to the connector. To regulate
this expansion of the seal-also referred to as the stroke-the FI series
now includes a stroke limiter feature. The FI series also
features a newly designed retaining clip that is recessed in the connector,
protecting it from wear and contributing to a longer-lasting connector life.
Features of
FI connectors that make them particularly reliable and
easy-to-use include:
- Patented grip-and-seal technology provides leak-tight connections; eliminates pipe sealant, wrenches and thread damage
- Stroke limiter regulates seal expansion
- Improved retainer clip design
- Soft-touch elastomers seal without scratching or otherwise damaging products
- Rugged aluminum or stainless steel construction
