Fused Silica Adapters

VICI Valco fused silica adapters permit easy use of open tubular columns with Valco valves, and provide direct connec-tion of fused silica within Valco fittings for maximum bore uniformity and inertness. Because they are machinedfrom a special high density polyimide alloy, Valco fused silica adapters can be used at sustained high tempera-tures (350° C) without the plastic distortion and shrinkage typical of conventional direct formed ferrules and in PEEK for lower temperature applications (up to 175°C).

The One-piece Fused Silica Adapter (FS) is recommended for use in fittings where the polyimide ferrule will not be routinelyremoved.

The Removable Fused Silica Adapters (FSR) with removable liner is recommended for use in Valve fitting details.
