Quick-to-connect modular pipework
31 July 2015
JACOB QuickConnect offers a solution for custom-designed and built modular pipework with easily connected bends, segments and pipe sections, manufactured in 1-3mm thicknesses, all with pressure tight connections.

Each component has a machine-lipped end which, when fitted with a specially designed U-shaped seal and Quick-Connect pull-ring, creates a 3-bar overpressure certified connection.
The highly visible ‘Blue’ U-shaped seal can be detected by metal detectors to avoid accidental contamination, for example during assembly. Seals are manufactured from Silicon (SI), heat-sealed and adhesive free to meet EC 1953/2004 requirement and have a temperature resistance from -60 to + 250°C.
Air movement within a JACOB pipeline is enhanced with the smooth-pressed bends,which assist airflow with the minimum of resistance. Accessories include inspection doors, visualisation ducts, diverters, product-control and air-control valves, all manufactured to high tolerances.
JACOB (UK) has more than 40 years experience of designing and supplying modular pipework systems for the engineering industry. It manufactures thin-walled, modular pipework systems and ducting, with components for air-conveying, extract-lines or gravity chutes. With standard diameters from 60 to 1600mm in galvanised or stainless-steel and powder coated finishes, the company cater for all types of pipework installation. PPMA Stand A11
