Typical Applications
Used where 3/8 in. tubing terminates at a 3/8 in. NPT port on metering pump heads, manifolds, and chemical feed assemblies. The non-metallic nylon body resists alkalis, fuels, and many solvents, making it a common fit on water-treatment and industrial dosing lines that avoid brass.
