Triple-Lok 2
Triple-Lok 2 combines the versatility of stainless steel Triple-Lok
with the added advantage of an elastomeric seal. It incorporates
an O-ring that is positioned in the nose of the 37° flare so that
elastomeric sealing occurs with the mating flared tube. Similar
to the standard stainless steel Triple-Lok, Triple-Lok 2 consists
of three pieces: the body (with O-ring), the standard Triple-Lok
sleeve and standard Triple-Lok nut. The tube end is flared at
a 37° angle (74° included angle) and held between the fitting
nose and sleeve with the nut as shown in Fig. B3, providing a
very effective elastomeric seal between the fitting nose and
the tube flare.
The Parker Advantage
Robust Port Stud:
The adjustable port stud is manufactured
with a longer locknut designed to cover the uppermost threads
completely. Since the backup washer is never exposed to the
upper threads, it cannot be damaged during assembly. Dur-
ing assembly, exposed upper threads, as common with fittings
from other fitting manufacturers, can lead to a deformed backup
washer that can pinch the o-ring and create an o-ring extrusion
gap that has the potential to leak. The longer locknut also pro-
vides a greater grip area for the wrench.
Superior Plating:
Superior plating gives Parker steel tube
fittings unmatched protection against red rust. In neutral salt
spray test per ASTMB117, ParkerTriple-Lok fittings substantially
exceeded the SAE requirement of 96 hours to red rust.
Pre-Lubricated Stainless Steel Tube Nut:
All stainless steel
Triple-Lok tube nuts have a pre-applied anti-seize lubricant to
prevent galling during assembly.
Triple-Lok 2:
Triple-Lok 2 utilizes an elastomeric seal in the flare
nose for improved seal reliability in applications where stainless
steel fittings are required .
Wide Selection:
Triple-Lok fittings are available as standard in
steel, stainless steel, brass and aluminum materials. Coupled
with its broad line of configurations and port end options, Parker
is well positioned to better service the hydraulic requirements
of the international markets.
