Is the R45 Side Plug Manifold with Male Thread compatible with both air and vacuum systems up to 12 bar and between -20°C and +60°C?

Yes. The R45 Side Plug Manifold with Male Thread is compatible with both air and vacuum systems, supports a working pressure up to 12 bar, and operates reliably within the temperature range of -20°C to +60°C. It features durable plastic construction, repeated assembly/disassembly without loss of seal integrity, and high-quality NBR sealing for dependable leak protection.

Can the R45 Side Plug Manifold with Male Thread be used with different sealing materials if NBR is unsuitable for certain chemicals or oils?

R45 Side Plug Manifold with Male Thread ships standard with NBR (nitrile) seals, which are excellent for general pneumatic and vacuum applications but have chemical limitations (poor resistance to some oils, fuels, ketones, strong acids/alkalis and certain solvents). If NBR is unsuitable for the specific chemicals or oils in your system, you should not use the manifold without replacing the sealing material. The plastic body and male thread are generally compatible with alternative elastomers, but compatibility depends on the replacement material and operating conditions (temperature, pressure, media). Recommended steps: - Identify the chemicals/oils and their concentrations and operating temperature. - Choose a compatible seal material (e.g., FKM/Viton for many oils and fuels, EPDM for hot water/steam and some chemicals, PTFE for broad chemical resistance) based on chemical compatibility charts. - Confirm seal dimensions and form factor match the R45 manifold’s sealing groove or consult the manufacturer for approved alternatives. - If in doubt, ask the supplier or test the chosen seal in controlled conditions before full deployment. In summary: Yes, the R45 Side Plug Manifold with Male Thread can be used with different seals if NBR is unsuitable, but only after selecting a chemically compatible material and verifying fit and performance.
