Is the Straight Plug Connector with Tapered Male Thread, Type R1C suitable for both vacuum and 16 bar compressed air applications?

Yes. The Straight Plug Connector with Tapered Male Thread, Type R1C is suitable for both vacuum and compressed air applications up to 16 bar. Manufactured from nickel-plated brass with NBR sealing, it provides durable, corrosion-resistant performance, reliable leak protection and repeated assembly/disassembly without loss of tightness. It operates effectively from -20°C to +80°C, ensuring stable functionality across typical vacuum and compressed-air operating conditions.

Can the Straight Plug Connector with Tapered Male Thread, Type R1C withstand exposure to corrosive environments and maintain seal integrity over time?

Straight Plug Connector with Tapered Male Thread, Type R1C is manufactured from high-quality nickel-plated brass and uses NBR sealing, which gives it good baseline resistance to wear and many corrosive factors. In many industrial environments this construction will maintain mechanical and pneumatic seal integrity over time, especially where exposure is limited to mild to moderate corrosion agents (e.g., atmospheric moisture, oils, non-aggressive industrial atmospheres). However, resistance to strongly corrosive chemicals (strong acids, alkalis, chlorides, halogenated solvents, or saltwater/sea spray environments) is limited for nickel-plated brass and NBR. Prolonged or concentrated exposure to such media can accelerate corrosion of the metal plating and degrade the NBR seal, risking loss of tightness and shortened service life. Recommendation: For intermittent or mild corrosive conditions the Type R1C should perform well; for continuous or aggressive corrosive environments, choose connectors made from more resistant materials (stainless steel, special coatings) and compatible seal compounds (e.g., FKM/EPDM) to ensure long-term seal integrity.
