Jaco Nylon Compression Tube Male Elbows are strong and abrasion resistant with a working temperature range of -40F to 250F. Since nylon naturally absorbs water, they are typically not preferred for wet applications.
Nylon has good chemical resistance to organic solvents, oils, hydrocarbons and fuels, but have poor chemical resistance to strong acids and bases. Jaco Nylon fittings with plastic gripper have operating pressures up to 220 PSI. Jaco Nylon fittings are FDA and NSF listed.
