Frequently asked questions
Common questions about RAPIDAIR from 3G Electric.
What types of RAPIDAIR compressed air fittings does 3G Electric supply?
3G Electric supplies a range of RAPIDAIR brass compression tube fittings, including reducers, adapters, tees, elbows, and couplings. Specific part numbers include M8015 (compression x MNPT adapter), M8016 (reducer tee), M8018 (reducer tee), M8023 (coupling), M8024 (coupling), M8025 (coupling), M8067 (elbow), and M8068 (elbow). These fittings are designed for compressed air systems and accommodate tube outer diameters from 5/8 in to 1-1/4 in, with threaded connections such as 3/4 in male NPT. The catalog covers common configurations for reducing, branching, and routing tubing in pneumatic networks.
What are the tube size and thread options for RAPIDAIR compression fittings?
RAPIDAIR compression fittings are available for tube outer diameters including 5/8 in, 31/32 in, 3/4 in, 1 in, and 1-1/4 in. Threaded connections include 3/4 in male NPT. For example, the M8015 adapter connects 1 in OD tubing to a 3/4 in male NPT port. The M8016 reducer tee has two 1 in OD ports and one 1/2 in OD port. The M8018 reducer tee has two 1 in OD ports and one 3/4 in OD port. The M8067 elbow has 31/32 in OD compression connections on both ends, while the M8068 elbow has 1-1/4 in OD connections. These options allow for size transitions and directional changes in compressed air lines.
Are RAPIDAIR brass compression fittings suitable for high-pressure compressed air systems?
The provided product information does not specify pressure ratings for RAPIDAIR brass compression fittings. Brass compression fittings are commonly used in compressed air systems, but the maximum working pressure depends on factors such as tube material, temperature, and installation quality. Users should consult the manufacturer's datasheets for specific pressure ratings. 3G Electric can provide datasheets upon request. It is important to verify that the selected fittings meet the pressure requirements of the application. RAPIDAIR fittings are intended for compressed air service; they should not be used for hydraulic or other fluids unless explicitly rated for such use.
How do RAPIDAIR compression fittings connect to tubing?
RAPIDAIR compression fittings use a nut and ferrule mechanism to connect to tubing. The tubing is inserted into the fitting body, and the nut is tightened, which compresses the ferrule against the tubing to create a seal. This design allows for assembly without soldering or brazing and permits disassembly and reassembly. The fittings are configured for specific tube outer diameters, such as 1 in OD or 1-1/4 in OD. Proper installation requires that the tubing is cut square and deburred, and that the nut is tightened to the recommended torque. These fittings are designed for use in compressed air systems and are made from brass for corrosion resistance.
Can 3G Electric ship RAPIDAIR fittings internationally?
Yes, 3G Electric ships RAPIDAIR compressed air fittings globally. The company handles logistics and documentation for international orders. Buyers can request quotes for specific part numbers, such as M8015, M8016, M8018, M8023, M8024, M8025, M8067, and M8068. 3G Electric provides datasheets and support to help customers integrate these components into their pneumatic systems.
