Spare Parts and Accessories for Valves
With the flare / solder adaptor, type FSA, flare connections can be easily and reliably changed to solder connections. The adaptor provides a method of joining that preserves the advantages of flare connections, i.e. easy and fast component replacement. At the same time, the flare / solder adaptor also provides the advantage of soldered joints, i.e. a high degree of tightness that prevents leakage. The adaptor contains no soft gaskets or O-rings which age and loose their sealing properties. Instead, it contains a copper seal which protects the flare collar against wear and fatigue. This copper seal ensures a tightness similar to that of soldered joints. The copper seal must be changed each time the adaptor is dismantled for servicing flare components. Frost grooves in the nut mean that the adaptors are suitable for wet environment, where the temperature is below the water freezing point. The nut cannot be loosened by encapsulated ice formation
