No Anti-vibration Gland Needed!
Parker Autoclave Engineers have taken a variety of in-house technologies and created a patent-pending simple to make connection using easy-to-use tools that are as safe as a Cone & Thread connection without any of the vibration sensitivity. Using just a hydraulic press and two dies, the connection is made using a similar pre-set process as the Parker MPI (Medium Pressure Inverted) and Autoclave Engineers QSS (Quick Set Sleeve) ferrule-style connections with one extra step that flares the tube. This extra step allows for primary sealing on the internal diameter of the flare with a backup secondary seal on the front of the sleeve.
Flared Cone Connection
Product Features:
- 22,500 psi (2507 SD) or 20,000 psi (316 SS) working pressures
- Flared Tubing Prevents Tube Extraction
- Double Metal to Metal Sealing Surfaces (First Seal is on ID of Tube Flare, Second Seal is Between Compression Sleeve and Fitting or Valve body)
- Wide Temperature Range from -100°F (-73C) to 600°F (316°C), and -50°F (-45°C) to 600°F (316°C) for 2507 SD
- Single Inconel 718 Compression Sleeve Reduces Assembly Errors
- No Anti-vibration gland fitting needed - vibration is controlled in the standard design
Flared Cone Connection
Valves, Fittings, Adapters, and Tubing
The process is simple:
- Cut the tubing square and deburr
- Slide on Gland Nut
- Slide on Compression Sleeve
- Set Compression Sleeve using Die Set "A" to charted hydraulic pressure
- Form Flare using Die Set "B" to charted hydraulic pressure
Instructions are simple, intuitive, and easy to accomplish. One end can be formed and installed in as little as 2 minutes as compared to 15-20 with Cone and Thread type connections. Once formed, only a torque wrench is needed to properly complete the connection in the fitting or valve.
