Quick to connect modular pipework

16 September 2015

JACOB QuickConnect offers a solution for custom-designed and built modular pipework. It features 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 new 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. The company 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, JACOB says it can cater for all types of pipework installation.
