pipe, tube, and welded systems. completely easy assembly
■ Unique design allows easy for maximum
installation where space is limited. efficiency VCO Body
■ No axial clearance is required.
■ Sealing is accomplished with
a captive O-ring in the body
component.
■ Assemblies can be used from high
pressure to critical vacuum, within a
wide range of temperatures.

VCO Gland VCO Nut

Smooth finish on
