4300 Catalog Seal-Lok™ Lite O-Ring Face Seal Tube Fittings
Feature Advantage Benefit
Compact design Suitable selection for plumbing in limited or tight
space in a compact system
Compact systems are more efficient and reduce the need for
excessive routing of costly hose or tube
High flow diameter Reduces pressure drop and increases system
efficiency
Increases system performance while reducing operating costs
Higher flow can be maintained through thin wall
tubing
Reduces system cost and increases performance
Elastomeric seal Tolerant of surface imperfections to provide
leak-free connection
Reduces operational and maintenance costs
No tube entry (flat-face design) Easy and fast drop-in installation Saves assembly and disassembly time
Captive O-ring groove (CORG) Prevents O-ring fall-out to ensure positive and
leak-free connection
Reduces operational and maintenance costs
Forged Shapes Higher resistance to mechanical shock and
vibration that can lead to leakage
Reduces operational and maintenance costs
Adaptable to steel tube, Flex Flange,
Push-Lok, and SS braided teflon hose
Versatility for end customer and for customer
standardization efforts
Standardization reduces procurement and inventory costs
Unlimited reusability/remakeability Extends the service life of the fitting Reduces maintenance costs and component replacement costs
Parflange method of assembly Several times faster than brazing/welding Reduces assembly cost
No special pre- and post-braze.weld cleaning Reduces tube preparation cost
No open flame or heat source required Improves operator safety
No braze joint or potential leak path Reduces operational and maintenance costs
Seal-Lok Lite Features
Feature Advantage Benefit
Flexibility Able to connect in hard-to-reach areas and flex
during assembly
More efficient assembly time and reduce the need for excessive
routing of hose or tube
Alternative to pre-bent rigid tube No bending equipment or costs added to system
100% leak tested Ensures there are no material defects in the
tubing before nuts and sleeves are assembled
Helps ensure a leak-free system
Multiple sizes offered Provides versatility for the end user. Available in
4 diameters and 7 different lengths.
Standardization reduces procurement costs
No tooling costs Flex Flange is pre-assembled with nuts and
sleeves
Eliminates tooling cost and assembly time needed for tube end
assembly
Corrosion-resistant 316 Stainless Steel Provides necessary corrosion resistance from
media and environment
Eliminates failures due to corrosion
Plated steel nuts and sleeves Reduces risk of galling Eliminates leakage caused by galling prone to stainless steel
products
Helps provide a lower cost assembly by using
components that are not exposed to the media
source
Helps reduce system cost by not using expensive stainless steel
materials
Increased worker productivity Ease of assembly because of tube flexibility Reduces assembly time associated with rigid tube
Flex Flange Features
