Prevost Conex Equal Straight Union

Description

Prevost Conex Equal Straight Union

The Seamless Connection for Extended Tubing Runs

The Prevost Conex Equal Straight Union is a high-performance, push-to-connect fitting designed to join two pieces of pneumatic tubing of the same diameter. Whether you are repairing a damaged line or extending an air run across a machine frame, this union provides a secure, airtight connection without the need for tools or threaded adapters.

Engineered for industrial reliability, the Conex Equal Straight Union ensures that your pneumatic circuit remains a continuous, high-flow path with zero pressure drop.

Key Features

• Instantaneous Push-to-Connect: Features Prevost’s precision stainless steel gripping rings on both ends. Simply insert the tubing (PU, PA, or PE) for a vibration-proof, permanent seal that engages in seconds.
• Full-Flow Design: The internal bore is matched to the tubing diameter, ensuring that air travels through the union with no restriction. This is critical for maintaining the speed and torque of downstream actuators and tools.
• Rapid Disconnection: The ergonomic manual release collars allow you to disconnect the tubing instantly. By depressing the collar, the internal teeth retract, allowing the tube to be pulled out cleanly without scarring the surface.
• Compact & Streamlined: The slim, cylindrical profile allows the union to be tucked away in tight wire tracks or routed through narrow conduits where bulky traditional fittings would snag.
• Rugged Construction: Built from high-impact technical polymer, this fitting is naturally resistant to corrosion, moisture, and common industrial oils. It provides a lightweight yet incredibly durable solution for long-term service.

The Efficient Choice for Maintenance and Repair

The Prevost Conex Equal Straight Union is an essential component for any maintenance toolkit. In the event of a punctured or kinked air line, rather than replacing the entire run, you can simply cut out the damaged section and bridge the gap with an Equal Union. This drastically reduces downtime and material waste, allowing production to resume in minutes.

Ideal Applications

• In-Line Repairs: Quickly splicing together air lines that have suffered mechanical damage or wear.
• System Extensions: Extending a pneumatic line from a stationary manifold to a relocated workstation.
• Bulkhead Passing: Using the union as a simplified connection point when routing tubing through machine panels.
• Modular Automation: Joining modular machine sections where air lines must be easily connected and disconnected during transport.

Installation Best Practice

To achieve a 100% leak-free seal, ensure your tubing is cut perfectly square using a dedicated tube cutter. When inserting the tube into the union, you will feel a slight resistance as it passes the internal O-ring; continue pushing until the tube “bottoms out” to ensure it is fully seated within the gripping mechanism.
