Real Specifications
| Spec | Value | Source document |
|---|---|---|
| PTFE liner operating range | -20°F to +450°F continuous, full vacuum service rated across that range | JCS Tool & Mfg — PTFE/PP/PVDF Lined Pipe Fittings |
| Liner thickness at 4" | 0.220" ±.005" (JCS standard) vs. 0.120" ASTM F1545 minimum | JCS Tool & Mfg — PTFE/PP/PVDF Lined Pipe Fittings |
| Liner standard | Conforms to ASTM F1545 minimum wall thickness | JCS Tool & Mfg — PTFE/PP/PVDF Lined Pipe Fittings |
| Lined fitting size/pressure class | 150# and 300# PTFE, PP, and PVDF lined fittings up through 12" | JCS Tool & Mfg — PTFE/PP/PVDF Lined Pipe Fittings |
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.
