Jaco N-P-5 Nylon Tube Insert Fittings are used in soft or thin wall tubing. The inserts will not wear a hole in the tubing, and provide a grip to prevent sliding due to heat expansion. Nylon inserts eliminate the need for special high temperature inserts.
Advantages of JACO fittings over metal compression fittings:
- Good electrical insulating qualities. This eliminates the electrolytic action that corrodes tubing, caused by a dissimilar metal meeting a fitting.
- Low density and softness of plastic gives JACO fittings the ability to absorb mechanical and acoustical vibrations.
- Low resistance to flow due to the smooth internal surface of the fittings.
- Resistance to scale buildup.
