EZ Connect units by FasTest offer wide tolerance, tight sealing

FasTest EZ Connect connectors from Wainbee

FasTest assembly solutions are available through Wainbee Limited, including the EZ Connect brand of connectors. This product family consists of three models of wide-tolerance connectors: the ZF, for external connections for tube features; the ZGN, for internal thread connections of multiple thread types; and the ZN, for tubes and bores.

For testing, filling, flushing

The EZ Connect ZF is designed for pressure or vacuum testing, fluid filling, flushing applications, and related processes, and it connects to bead, barbed, and formed tubes. Its sealing fits many tube diameters, with a self-aligning connector that needs no user adjustment. The colour-coded handles help with proper tool identification, while fast, simple seal replacement minimizes downtime, maintenance, and tool inventory. This connector from Wainbee offers a pressure rating from vacuum to 300 pounds per square inch (psi).

Designed for in-process testing and fluid transfer, the ZGN connects to all internal threads, along with NPT, SAE, BSPP(G)/BSPT, and metric threads in various sizes and styles. Advantages include pressure-assisted sealing, a self-aligning sleeve for dependable connections (even with misalignment), a compact size that fits into tight spaces and tightly spaced bores, lever operation for manual tasks, and pneumatic operation for automated testing or end-of-arm grip and hold.

Select models of the ZGN work with ICON intelligent connection technology, a sealing-connection tool that generates data and offers LED feedback to improve sealing accuracy, maximize production efficiency, and optimize tool maintenance. The lever version of the ZGN has a pressure rating from vacuum to 120 psi; the pneumatic version has pressure up to 300 psi.

The ZN works only with internal connections to tubes and bores, including straight, expanded, flared, beaded, barbed, formed, and swaged tubes. Intended mainly for pressure or vacuum testing and fluid filling or flushing, this connector has an adjustment ring to set preload and maximize seal life, a lockable collar for consistent sealing pressure, and high-flow design that users can adapt quickly for plug-style applications. Pressure rating up to 50 psi.
