Designed to safeguard against environmental ingress in the chemical, petrochemical, oil, gas, and pulp industries, the JTC provides a leak-tight, Swagelok tube fitting connection between sections of single jacketed tubing, eliminating the need for sleeves and sealing tape.
The jacketed tube connector’s patent-pending design combines proven tube fitting technology with an O-ring seal and an innovative, environmental jacket seal nut, providing a leak-tight seal on the stainless steel core of the jacketed tubing and a water-tight seal on the outer diameter (OD) of the jacketed tubing. The JTC design promotes streamlined installation and high performance. This includes ease of assembly, with a knurled jacket seal nut allowing for easy, hand-tight assembly, seal performance maintained through repeated re-assemblies of the connector, a jacket seal nut covering vent O-ring when leak-tight assembly is achieved, and a vent port preventing accidental pressurization of jacket cavity.
The connector is available in all standard tube fitting configurations and for use with 1/4, 3/8, and 1/2-inch jacketed tubing with up to 1/16 inch in nominal jacketed thickness. Operating temperature ranges from -67-180° F (-55 to 82°C) and working pressures up to 5 100 psig (420 bar).
More information about JTC can be found in Swagelok’s product catalog (MS-02-438). Suggested accessories include corrosion resistant, Swagelok multi-jacketed tubing and single-jacketed tubing also in Swagelok’s product catalog (MS-02-188).
