Install / Failure Note

A liner molded separately and inserted into the fitting body leaves a housing-to-liner gap that weakens both mechanical strength and vacuum rating — JCS molds its 90° elbow liners directly to the body specifically to avoid that gap, a real inspection point for evaluating any lined-fitting supplier, not just this one.

Vacuum-drawn chemical transfer fails at the weakest liner-to-body joint, not the pipe wall — JCS's liners exceed the ASTM F1545 minimum thickness at every size and carry a full-vacuum rating across -20°F to 450°F, the actual spec to check before trusting a lined fitting on a vacuum-distillation line.
