PTFE Cam and Groove Gaskets - Accordion - PTFE
On hose assemblies, pressure rating is the lower of either the rating of the coupling or the hose at 70 deg. F
Recommended for use with viscous (thick) fluids only.
The torque (force) required to close the handles on a pair of cam and groove fittings will vary according to the gasket chosen.
Due to the nature of the PTFE material, the various PTFE gasket designs will require the most torque, increasing as you go from envelope to encapsulated, and finally, accordion.
Maximum operating temperatures for specific chemicals may be lower.
