The quick connect fitting RQGZ1-M, type AD21,2-M25, from Flexa is a one-piece, straight plastic fitting for ROHRflex Wells hoses. It features a metric external thread and is specifically designed for secure and tight fastening of cable conduit systems. The fitting is equipped with strain relief to reduce mechanical stress on the cable connection, and it seals conically, ensuring reliable sealing. The material is polyamide (PA), known for its high strength and chemical resistance. The standard color is black, with a gray variant also available.
Applications
This quick connect fitting is suitable for use in industrial and technical installations where a secure and tight connection of cable conduits is required. It is particularly suitable for applications in outdoor environments or in areas with increased humidity, as it has protection class IP 66. This means it is dust-tight and protected against water jets from any direction. The fitting is also suitable for use in areas with increased safety requirements, as it is VDE-tested and meets various international standards, including EN/IEC 61386-23, UL 1696, CSA 22.2, NFPA 130, ASTM E 162-E 662, SMP 800-C, as well as certification by Lloyds Register of Shipping.
Functions and Equipment in Detail
The fitting is designed with conical sealing, ensuring a tight connection between the hose and the fitting. The integrated strain relief protects the cable from mechanical stress that could result from pulling or torsion. The one-piece design reduces the number of components and simplifies installation. The material polyamide (PA) offers high mechanical strength and is resistant to oil, gasoline, and largely resistant to acids and solvents. Additionally, the fitting is silicone-free, cadmium-free, and halogen-free, making it suitable for applications in sensitive environments.
Technology Explained Simply
The protection class IP 66 means the fitting is completely dust-tight and protected against water jets from any direction. This makes it suitable for outdoor use or in humid environments. The strain relief ensures that mechanical stress on the cable connection is reduced, extending the cable's service life. The conical sealing ensures a tight connection that remains secure even under vibrations or movements during operation. Polyamide (PA) as the material offers high resistance to chemical influences and temperature fluctuations.
Compatibility and Accessories
The quick connect fitting is specifically designed for ROHRflex Wells hoses. To expand application possibilities, various accessories are available, including mounting brackets made of steel or polypropylene, locknuts made of polyamide or brass, thread reducers made of polyamide or brass, as well as adapters and threaded couplings. These components allow flexible adaptation to different mounting conditions and thread types. The accessories are also designed for use with ROHRflex Wells hoses and ensure a compatible and secure connection.
Installation and Mounting
Installation is done by simply screwing the fitting onto the corresponding thread. The strain relief ensures that the cable is not damaged by pulling or torsion. The one-piece design simplifies installation and reduces the number of required components. The fitting is suitable for mounting at various angles and positions, and the use of mounting brackets or threaded couplings can further expand mounting options.
Operational Advantages
The fitting provides a reliable and tight connection that remains secure even under difficult operating conditions. The strain relief protects the cable from mechanical stress, extending the cable's service life. The chemical resistance to oil, gasoline, acids, and solvents makes it suitable for use in various industrial environments. The protection class IP 66 allows use in outdoor or humid environments. The use of polyamide (PA) as the material ensures high mechanical strength and resistance to temperature fluctuations.
