Is the Extended Spigot Connection with Male Thread, Type R18 suitable for both air and vacuum applications up to 16 bar and temperatures from -20°C to +80°C?

Yes. The Extended Spigot Connection with Male Thread, Type R18 is suitable for both air and vacuum applications up to 16 bar and for temperatures from -20°C to +80°C. Its nickel-plated brass construction, high-quality NBR sealing, and design for repeated secure assembly ensure reliable performance, tight seals, corrosion resistance and durability in demanding pneumatic environments.

Can the Extended Spigot Connection with Male Thread, Type R18 withstand exposure to corrosive substances or salty environments without degrading performance?

Yes. The Extended Spigot Connection with Male Thread, Type R18 is manufactured from nickel-plated brass, a material known for good corrosion resistance, and features high-quality NBR sealing. This combination provides robust protection against wear, mechanical stress and common corrosive exposure, as well as good performance in salty environments. Its design for repeated assembly without loss of tightness and suitability for demanding industrial use further supports reliable operation in such conditions. Limitations: prolonged exposure to highly aggressive chemicals (strong acids, alkalis, chlorinated solvents) or continuous immersion in seawater may eventually degrade plating or NBR seals; for those specific environments, verify chemical compatibility of nickel plating and NBR or consider more resistant materials (e.g., stainless steel and FKM/Viton seals).
