Press Release Body: Immediately available from plastic tubing manufacturer NewAge(R)
Industries is a line of PFA fluoropolymer compression fittings in a dozen styles.
Ideal for mating with fluoropolymer tubing, the fittings are used in
clean-application industries such as semiconductor, food and beverage,
pharmaceutical, chemical, medical and biomedical, laboratory, chromatography, and
others.

The name of the fittings-Pureloc(R) -is indicative of their intended use. Made from
virgin-grade, chemically-inert PFA fluoropolymer, Pureloc fittings are well suited
for pure fluid applications where contamination-free systems are required. They
offer unrestricted flow and excellent lock and seal ability.

Purelocs consist of four, precision-made parts (nut, gripper, ferrule, and body)
that provide leak-proof connections. The fittings offer see-through construction to
assure the user of proper fitting installation. The nut design has a ridged surface
that is easy to grip and tighten. Purelocs may be disassembled and reused, saving
purchase and inventory costs.

Styles available from stock consist of elbows, straight connectors, tees, and
adapters and now include reducing and bulkhead types. Sizes range from 1/8" to 3/4".
Pureloc fittings are designed for use with fluoropolymer tubing but may be used with
other materials. A variety of PFA, PTFE, and FEP fluoropolymer tubing is available
from stock from NewAge Industries. Straight, coiled, convoluted, and corrugated
tubing options are offered.
