This makes the DuoTight fittings even more reliable and reduces the chance of leakages significantly.
The Double O-Ring System also means that a tube can be bend in a much tighter radius without causing leaking issues.
No clamps required.
EPDM Rubber:
EPDM – Ethylene Propylene Rubber which has excellent chemical resistance including being compatible with ozone, oils, wide variety of alkaline and acid compounds, water, alcohol, ketone and beverages. EPDM is also resistant to aging, weather and will not perish easily like other rubber compounds. When compared with Silicon and Vinyl, EPDM has better gas transmission rates, better wear resistance, is BPA free and is the number one choice for many long lasting food grade applications.
