Legris fittings offer an efficient, cost-effective solution to connecting compressed air applications. Air Supplies provides an extensive selection of air compressor-compatible push-in fittings, couplings, and tubes from Legris for you to choose from.
These innovative compression fittings eliminate the need for soldering or flaring connections in high-heat environments or those containing volatile substances. Furthermore, they offer excellent safety during such operations.
Push-to-Connect Fittings
Push-to-connect fittings offer a secure, quick connection that requires no tools for installation. Compatible with copper, PEX, and CPVC pipe materials as well as radiant floor heating, hot tubs, and home improvement projects – push-to-connect fittings offer superior performance when used in tight spaces that would be impractical to solder in traditional methods like clamps or compression-style unions. While some plumbers remain wary of embracing new technologies like push-to-connect fittings, some have discovered their superior performance when used instead! Despite hesitation towards adopting this new technology – push-to-connect fittings offer excellent performance when it comes to tight spaces that would require soldering, as they make installation faster than using clamps or compression-style unions.
Push-to-connect technology is relatively straightforward: metal spurs inside fitting sockets grip the outside diameter of tubing or pipes while an O-ring (usually made of Neoprene) creates an O-ring seal around its interior surface for leakproof operation at various temperatures and pressures. As a result, permanent connections that work across the temperature spectrum are made.
These fittings represent an improvement on the first generation of push-to-connect fittings introduced by British manufacturer Hepworth Building Products under its Hep2O brand in 1980. The original fittings were composed of grey plastic and included both reusable versions that could be unscrewed, as well as slimmer single-use fittings that did not feature such functionality. Later models are engineered to be more robust and more reliable.
If you need to use push-to-connect fittings for either new installation or emergency repairs, you must abide by manufacturer recommendations. In particular, an effective deburring tool must be utilized to remove any burrs on the ends of tubes that could cut into O-ring seals and lead to leakage. Mark the pipe where you intend to insert the fitting so it will be easy to see that its seat has been fully secured.
Legris push-to-connect fittings come in various forms – tees, elbows, and adaptors that connect multiple types of pipe. Ideal for fast connections in tight spaces where no wrench can be used – these fittings work with water, air, liquids, and gases and can even be rotated after installation to achieve precise positioning. Rated to withstand temperatures up to 200degF, they can even be buried underground safely.
Couplings & Adaptors
An essential tool in keeping plumbing systems functioning efficiently are couplings and adapters; two such implements often used interchangeably serve distinctly different roles in pipeline circuits.
Couplings are designed to connect hoses and tubes to the significant components of a hydraulic system, including pumps, valves, cylinders, motors, and more. They’re typically installed into work ports of pumps, valves, cylinders, and engines in order for fluid in a pipe to move without leakage or fluctuations in pressure levels.
Legris LF3000 push-to-connect couplings are designed for quick hose assembly without specialized tools, making assembly on the fly more accessible than ever before. Constructed of glass-filled nylon, nickel-plated brass, and buna-nitrile elastomer seals – ideal for use with polyurethane, nylon, or PVC tubing – these push-to-connect fittings offer cost-effective alternatives to costly sanitary clamp couplings in terms of labor costs and downtime at work!
LF3000 push-to-connect fittings feature a gripping ring designed to secure tubing once installed, with minor elastic properties to absorb pressure pulsations and vibrations, thus minimizing scratch marks on the tubing. Furthermore, these couplings include an easy-release button made of plastic that requires minimal force when pressing it for release; this standard feature meets compressed air Health & Safety Guide HS(G)39 requirements.
Many users of push-to-connect couplings are amazed that these allow them to connect or disconnect tubes quickly with low forces – even while under pressure! Plus, these reusable couplings allow multiple connections or disconnections in a day with just one hand!
Adaptor couplings are a type of Legris coupling used to connect two pipes with different diameters, most frequently connecting an outside diameter of 1/2″ with that of 3/4″. They may also be used to connect different thread types that don’t naturally match up, making for seamless connections.
Accessories
Fashion accessories are items used to complete or enhance an ensemble or look. Examples of such accessories may include hats, handbags, and jewelry; they can also serve as decorative elements that add new energy and vibrancy to any space.
Parker Legris provides an impressive variety of tubes and tubing designed for use with their fittings, from PTFE and polyurethane tubing, as well as anti-spark, fluoropolymer, self-fastening tubing, and self-fastening options to anti-spark, fluoropolymer, and self-fastening types. Their LF3600 series fittings can handle circuit pressure up to 80 bar, with their solid construction being compact yet aesthetic enough to fit in tight spaces with ease.
These LF3600 series fittings come in both male and female threaded forms. Both versions include an O-ring to ensure secure tubing connections to each fitting, are made from brass that has been nickel-plated to resist corrosion and feature quick connect and disconnect features for easy usage. No tools are necessary for installation either! These fittings meet several industry regulations, too!
The LF3600 series of fittings can be utilized for various applications, such as food processing, coffee machines, in-plant automotive production lines, and misting systems. Their construction materials meet FDA regulations, while their ease of cleaning makes them a versatile component suitable for everyday wear and tear.
Accessories are any items or components used to augment another piece of equipment or item. Though not strictly necessary, accessories can add extra functionality or appeal. In fashion contexts, accessories are often used to complete an outfit and excitingly show your flair. They are accommodating in adding flair and visual interest when dressing for special events – and can add an unexpected element that distinguishes your look even more than usual. Fashion jewelry pieces, in particular, are great examples of accessories that can add either subtlety or drama, depending on what the occasion calls for!
Maintenance Kit
Legris fittings are push-to-connect couplings and adaptors designed for compressed air applications and can be installed without tools. Legris products also withstand wide pressure ranges and temperatures, making them an excellent solution for many different uses. This kit aims to minimize production interruptions by providing users with rapid maintenance operations.
The Parker Legris LF 3000 Maintenance Kit contains an assortment of the parts most often required to keep pneumatic systems operating optimally, from reducers and blanking plugs to equal elbows, 6mm equal tees and straight connectors, plus Ptfe tape, nylon release button components, and R1/4 male stud elbow components – everything needed for peak performance is here.
Parker Legris 3014 series female connectors are push-in fittings designed for tubing connections through NPT ports, compatible with glass-reinforced nylon, fluoropolymer, and polyethylene tubing. Their gripping ring technology securely grips tube ends once installed, while their flexible nature absorbs pressure pulsations and vibrations to reduce longitudinal scratch marks on tubes.
Legris self-sealing fittings are essential components for any facility that must regulate the flow of gas and liquid. By blocking fluid flow when no tube is attached to them, these fittings help reduce bacteria growth in pipeline circuits as well as contamination within medical facilities and food & beverage processing operations.
Legris function fittings (flow control regulators, piloted function fittings, and non-return valves) offer you more versatility in how you use tubing and hoses. Installable on various Legris push-to-connect fittings and couplers, these fittings are great for applications including food process, coffee machines, in-plant automotive misting printing welding robots, as well as food waste misting printing misting welding robots – with high-quality materials that resist industrial chemicals used.
