ADACONN flange adapters are now available with integral check valves.

The patented ADACONN Unified series of flange adapters are now available with integral check valves.

This combination allows one to easily provide check and fixed orifice flow control at a flange port and terminate in a threaded connection. Check function may be placed on a manifold or actuator surface rather than within, resulting in a decrease in manifold size or elimination of a special cartridge body, and reducing the requirements for cartridge cavities and cross-drilling. In-line flow reduces pressure drop and wasted horsepower. Steel construction allows for use in systems up to 5000 PSI. Valve orientation is reversible as required in the application.

Parker Launches Universal Push-to-Connect Hose and Tube Assembly

Parker Launches Universal Push-to-Connect Hose and Tube Assembly Designed for Speedy, Leak-Free Connections

Three divisions of Parker, the global leader in motion and control technologies, have developed a Universal Push-to-Connect (UPTC) assembly that provides fast and efficient, leak-free connections for compact fluid power systems in industrial, mobile and construction equipment. The new assembly is a collaboration between Parkerrs Tube Fittings, Hose Products and Parflex divisions.

Utilizing Parkerrs Seal-Lokk O-ring face seal (ORFS) adapter or EO metric bite-type fittings, the patent-pending UPTC system is suitable for rigid inch and metric tubing, hydraulic hose and thermoplastic hose assemblies involving tube-hose, tube-port and hose-port connections. Unlike other push-to-connect couplings that require changeovers to new male- and female-end fitting designs, Parkerrs UPTC innovative male geometry allows easy substitution on any existing Parker Seal-Lok or EO fitting system. UPTC is especially advantageous during assembly where simply pushing the hose or tube into the adapter creates a leak-free connection. This speedy connection creates immediate cost savings in assembly time along with reductions in warranty and rework claims due to improper assembly.

UPTC consists of a base Seal-Lok (ORFS) or EO metric bite-type fitting, a factory assembled UPTC nut with its internal sealing and retaining elements, a dust O-ring and a UPTC hose assembly or rigid tube. The UPTC nut is assembled to the base ORFS or metric bite-type fitting at the factory to ensure proper torque is applied. Once fully engaged, the retaining element is positively trapped between the male and the UPTC nut. It cannot escape, even under vibration and extremely high pressure.

Visual and tactile install indicators on the nut and fitting signify full engagement and a complete connection. The assembly can be disconnected by using a wrench to loosen the nut, exposing a standard connector end. If the hose is damaged, the UPTC assembly can be replaced with a standard ORFS hose assembly. No special connector is required for field repair, but the option of replacing the damaged assembly with a new Parker UPTC connection is still available.

UPTC Features:

Compatible with any existing Parker Seal-Lok or EO fitting system

Compatible with rigid inch and metric tubing (adapted by changing the braze sleeve), hydraulic hose and thermoplastic hose assemblies

Substantial time and cost savings due to elimination of wrenching/torquing

Faster, easier assemblies, particularly in tight spacessreduces errors, rework and warranty claims

Assemblies can be disconnected with a standard wrench

UPTC technology is available in straights, 455 and 900 elbows, tees and crosses in sizes 1/4" to 1" for ORFS fittings including the most common jump sizes, and 8 mm to 25 mm for metric bite-type fittings

Connects to most standard port technologies, such as SAE straight thread port (SAE J1926), ISO 6149 port, pipe, and more

For additional information about Parkerrs UPTC technology and specific product availability, contact 1-800-C-Parker or your local Parker distributor.

The Tube Fittings Division, Hose Products Division and Parflex Division are units of Parker Hannifin Corporation's Fluid Connectors Group. The Group is headquartered in Cleveland, Ohio, and is the worldds leading producer of tube fittings, rubber and thermoplastic hose and fittings, brass fittings and valves, quick-connect couplings and assembly tools.
