Fixed Dip Pipes

Description  - Fixed dip pipes are rigid tubes, either straight or bent through 90° (as shown) which, are crimped directly on the end of the Corroflon hoses.  They are designed for insertion into drums, tanks and reaction vessels in order to suction drain (or inject) process fluids transferred through the hose.

Materials  - Standard dip pipes are in antistatic (AS) PTFE.  Also available in 316 S/S, polypropylene, virgin PTFE and other materials.

How to Order  - Specify the size and material of the dip pipe, whether it is straight or 90° elbow.  Give the length of the straight leg of the dip pipe and the length of the flexible section of the hose section separately.

Limitations  - Only tested to 4 Bar pressure and not suitable at pressures higher than 3 Bar.

Lengths  - Dip pipes can be supplied in any length, to individual requirements.  When a 90° elbow dip pipe is supplied, the hose length is measured from the hose fitting to the axis of the hose to the open end of the dip pipe.  Please specify both when ordering.

Cuffed End

Description  - Cuffed End

Limitation in Use  - Because the outer sleeve retaining the end of the braid is fairly loose, this type of end is only suitable for use where the cuff is to be permanently connected to a spigot.  It is unsuitable for use unconnected, and for any disconnection and reconnection duties.  It is not suitable for pressures above 3 Bar (45 psi) in sizes up to 1 1/2" or 1 Bar (15 psi) from 2" to 4".  Spigot must be shouldered at the end, all edges rounded and 2 clips must be used to make each connection.

Specifications  - Bore of Cuff = Nominal Bore Size

Materials  - Outer sleeve in black PTFE.
