Frequently asked questions
FAQ: Vacuum Fitting KF Flange to Rubber Hose Barb Adapter SS304 Stainless Steel
1. What is a Vacuum Fitting KF Flange to Rubber Hose Barb Adapter?
The Vacuum Fitting KF Flange to Rubber Hose Barb Adapter is a connector designed to join a KF (Klein Flange) vacuum fitting with a rubber hose barb. It allows for the secure attachment of rubber hoses to vacuum systems, facilitating the movement of gases or fluids in a vacuum environment.
2. What material is this adapter made of?
This adapter is made from SS304 stainless steel, which is known for its excellent corrosion resistance, strength, and durability, making it suitable for vacuum applications.
3. What are the applications of this adapter?
The adapter is commonly used in laboratories, industrial vacuum systems, and other applications where a reliable and leak-resistant connection between vacuum fittings and rubber hoses is required.
4. What sizes of hoses can be used with this adapter?
The adapter is designed to fit standard rubber hoses and may vary in size based on the specific model. Always refer to the product specifications to ensure compatibility with your hose diameter.
5. Can this adapter withstand high vacuum levels?
Yes, the SS304 stainless steel construction offers high structural integrity, allowing the adapter to withstand significant vacuum pressures, making it suitable for many high-performance applications.
6. Is this product suitable for use with corrosive substances?
