The
Hydro-Craft line of patented Junction adapters are designed to eliminate traditional union
problems. They are engineered to fit securely into the MULTI-CLAMP and STRUT-ADAPTER
systems. Offered in a wide range of standard sizes in JIC, NPT SAE ., and O-Ring Face Seal
style, they are manufactured of 12L14 Leadloy and finished in a zinc plating.
They are a critical element in both Junction clamping systems, and are available in sizes
as listed in the chart below. (See page

UNION PROBLEMS THAT HYDRO-CRAFT
SYSTEMS HELP PREVENT
When unions are in suspension and improperly secured, they can vibrate and cold-work,
causing leaks.
A bulkhead fitting must be inserted into a drilled plate and locked in position from each
side. There must be clearance in the plate to locate the fitting, and if the locknuts
aren't 100% secure, vibration will cause the assembly to work loose, causing leaks.
With a pipe-tapped junction block, you have an additional connection point in your system.
Another joint that can leak. |
