Parker's New Soft-Seal Triple-Lok®2 Improves Reliability



COLUMBUS, Ohio-Parker Hannifin Corporation's Tube Fittings Division has introduced Triple-Lok 2-a soft-seal stainless steel 37° flare fitting that offers improved reliability as well as increased working pressures.

Triple-Lok 2's enhanced construction features a precision-engineered O-ring groove positioned for maximum sealing performance without weakening or compromising the fitting nose. The groove, specifically designed to prevent O-ring overfill and pinching, utilizes standard 0-rings in most sizes. The O-ring is positioned so that proper tube coverage is obtained with standard tube flares. Boasting improved form, fit and function, Triple-Lok 2 is completely interchangeable with Triple-Lok or other standard 370 flared fittings and requires no user changes or installation adjustments.

Triple-Lok 2 Benefits:
o More reliable sealing at high pressures
o O-ring seal provides optimum sealing for stainless steel
o Replaceable O-ring seal in fitting nose offers ease of maintenance
o Available in ¼" - 2" standard sizes and a wide variety of configurations
o Adaptable to metric tubing simply by changing the sleeve

"The goal when we designed Triple-Lok 2 was to overcome the limitations of standard 37° flare fittings, as well as the other soft-seal JIC options out there," said Ted Amling, Senior Engineer, New Product Development. "Where other soft-seal designs limit the user's tube wall selection, force the use of special O-rings, cause nose collapse or restrict flow, Triple-Lok 2 was designed from the beginning to overcome these limitations."
