Prevost Conex Straight Female Connector

Description

Prevost Conex Straight Female Connector

Direct Adaptability for Threaded-to-Tube Transitions

The Prevost Conex Straight Female Connector is a high-grade pneumatic adapter designed to join male threaded components directly to flexible technical tubing. This fitting is the professional’s choice for connecting air sensors, pressure gauges, or male-threaded manifold outlets into a push-to-connect system.

By combining a precision female thread with Prevost’s world-class instantaneous gripping technology, this connector provides a streamlined, leak-free transition in a compact, straight-line profile.

Key Features

• High-Precision Female Thread: Features a rugged, nickel-plated brass body with precisely machined internal threads (available in NPT, BSPP, or BSPT). This ensures a deep, secure engagement with male fittings, preventing thread galling or air bypass.
• Instantaneous “Grip” Technology: The tubing port is equipped with a signature stainless steel gripping ring. Simply push the technical tubing (PU, PA, or PE) into the fitting for an immediate, vibration-proof, and airtight seal—no tools or clamps required.
• Full-Bore Flow Design: The internal geometry is engineered to match the tubing diameter, ensuring that air travels through the connection with zero restriction or pressure drop.
• Nickel-Plated Brass Construction: Manufactured from premium-grade brass with a corrosion-resistant nickel finish. This provides superior mechanical strength compared to all-plastic alternatives, making it suitable for high-vibration and heavy-duty industrial environments.
• Compact Hexagonal Body: The external hex-nut shape allows for easy tightening with a standard wrench, ensuring a secure seal against the male thread while maintaining a low profile in tight spaces.

The Versatile Link for Pneumatic Systems

The Prevost Conex Straight Female Connector is an essential “bridge” component. In many systems, primary components like regulators, dryers, or sensors come with male-threaded outlets. This connector allows you to immediately convert those ports into push-to-connect ports, significantly speeding up installation and maintenance. Because of its rigid brass construction, it can support the weight of small gauges or sensors without the risk of cracking or fatigue.

Ideal Applications

• Gauge & Sensor Mounting: Connecting pressure gauges or switches directly to a tubing run.
• Manifold Expansion: Adapting male-threaded manifold ports to accept flexible tubing for branch lines.
• Component Integration: Linking male-threaded filters or lubricators into a modular pneumatic circuit.
• Maintenance & Retrofitting: Converting older threaded pipe systems to modern, flexible push-to-connect tubing.

Installation Tip

When threading the connector onto a male fitting, use a small amount of thread sealant (for NPT) or ensure the seated O-ring is present (for BSPP) to guarantee a primary seal. For the tubing side, always use a dedicated tube cutter to ensure a square, burr-free end before pushing it into the connector.
