Teflex NP Black Connector

A pure PTFE flexible BFM® connector capable of running continuously at 300ºC (572ºF) temperatures, food grade and can be used across the full pH scale for caustic or acid products.

Product Description

A pure PTFE connector capable of running at both low and high temperatures, and can be used across the full pH scale.  Teflex NP Black also offers excellent surface resistivity - 106.

Application(s):

  • Can be used on products across the full pH scale  i.e. caustic and acid products will not effect PTFE.
  • Capable of running at very low (-73ºC/-99ºF) and very high temperatures (continuously operating at 300ºC / 572ºF with short-term surges at 316ºC / 600ºF).

Product Options

Teflex NP Black with rings

Rings

Teflex NP Black is available with stainless steel or plastic support rings to help keep the walls of the connector open.

Ideal for vacuum applications or longer lengths.

Tool Release in action

Tool Release

For added security, this option has a significantly firmer snap-band that makes it virtually impossible to remove by hand and requires a specially shaped tool.
