Revision Date PTFE ENCAPSULATED (ENCAP) END FITTINGS Loose BSPP Fixed Male Encap Fitting and a standard, non-lined Ferrule Swivel Flange Encap Fitting Crimped on to Corroline+ Hose Introduction In response to requests from Customers who self-assemble Aflex Hose products, Aflex have developed a basic range of PTFE encapsulated end fittings. These can be used in place of standard non-lined end fittings to provide a PTFE lined alternative, without the need to assemble and flare an Integral PTFE Lined end fitting. Encap fittings do not provide the same advantages as Integral Lined fittings, namely the full hose bore size through the fitting, and no internal entrapment areas. Encap fittings do, however, provide a fully PTFE lined fitting with a flared face which is easier to assemble. Also, the Aflex Encap fitting design has a significantly larger bore than the conventional PFA encapsulated fittings available from other suppliers. Construction and Application Encap Fittings are assembled and crimped using the same non-lined ferrules, crimp diameters and assembly procedures that are used with standard non-lined fittings, on all the Aflex PTFE hose product range. Note: Corroline+ hose can be supplied with an alternative Direct Crimp (DC) fitting design, which is also available in the Encap version, to special order. The PTFE encapsulation is either natural or antistatic PTFE as required, with a PTFE wall thickness of 1.5mm (0.060”) for sizes up to 11/2”, and 1.8mm (0.070”) for sizes 2” and above. Important Note: The use of Encap fittings with hoses, ferrules or other components which are not all supplied by Aflex Hose is strictly prohibited, and no liability will be accepted for any failures which result from such abuse.
