Style TSCZ pigtails are similar in construction to Style TSC, with the addition of a second reinforcing braid and a post-sintered PTFE lining. The reinforcing provides a working pressure of 3600 PSI maximum working pressure for additional strength and safety. Fitting options are identical to Style TSC hose.
Constructed with a white, non-conductive PTFE liner. Fittings are available in both brass and stainless steel. Stainless steel full-time swivel ends are also a standard stock item for this hose. An anti-whip, anti-kink “Safety Armor” is available for additional protection. Each hose is marked with branding noting manufacturer, pressure rating, and date of manufacture. CGA fittings and adapters can be added as required.
Style TSCZ flexible pigtails have a minimum burst pressure rating of four times the maximum working pressure. The optional stainless steel armor casing allows free movement of the hose and protects the hose from damage. This casing also acts as a bend restrictor to prevent kinking near the connections and to enhance whip protection in the event of a cylinder or other similar incidents. Special heavy duty brass fittings are used on armored assemblies which work in conjunction with a matching stainless steel crimp collar over the armor for extra end pull protection. Brass Extension Adapter BE-4-3HP is recommended in oxygen applications to absorb the heat experienced in adiabatic compression and eliminate possible damage to the PTFE tube if the pigtail is quickly pressurized with oxygen against a closed valve or regulator.
