Flare-Thru Fittings
Flare-Thru fittings feature a one-piece Chemfluor® fluoropolymer tubing liner that extends through the fitting and flares over the sealing surfaces. This innovative design ensures high purity and seamless transfer; the transferred media come into contact only with the ultra pure, FDA-approved Chemfluor® hose inner tube. The Flare-Thru system also employs separate gaskets to interface with metallic or dissimilar plastic piping systems, an especially useful feature for assemblies that are frequently disconnected.

| One-Piece Chemfluor® Fluoropolymer Tubing Liner |
Flexible Components' innovative, industry-leading Flare-Thru fitting system features a one-piece Chemfluor® fluoropolymer tubing liner that offers many advantages in the areas of purity, performance and cleanability.
Because the liner extends through the fitting and flares over the sealing surfaces, conveyed media come into contact with only ultra-pure, FDA-approved Chemfluor® fluoropolymer tubing from end to end, for the ultimate in chemical resistance and assured purity. | | Innovative Separate Gaskets | | Another Flare-Thru innovation is the use of separate gaskets to interface with metallic or dissimilar plastic piping systems. This feature is especially valuable on assemblies that are frequently connected and disconnected, or that are exposed to potential mechanical damage, since the gaskets are low in cost and can be easily replaced. | | Features and Benefits | - Eliminate potential entrapment -- Hose barb to hose ID joint interface is eliminated; no areas for bacteria or product to become entrapped
- Higher flow rates with less pressure drop --The inside diameter of Flare-Thru fittings matches the inside diameter of the hose; lower pump pressures can be used to obtain the same flow rates as conventional barb fitting assemblies, and higher flow rates can be achieved with higher pump pressures.
- Internal cleanability -- Contamination, buildup of material and bacterial growth are significantly reduced or, in some cases, virtually eliminated.
- Potential cost savings -- Can be less costly than special alloy fittings or fluoropolymer encapsulated crimp fittings.
- 316 stainless steel back-up fittings -- Standard for TLCT and TWOB series hoses. For MTL and MTLSJ series hose, 304 stainless steel (same material as metal hose inner core) is standard.
