different types of tubing from soft plastic, hard plastic, metal,
glass, ceramic, and exotic alloys. Our fittings are designed and
sized to fit the outside diameter of the tubing. It is the cus-
tomer’s responsibility to select the appropriate JACO material
and nut style to work with their particular application and
environment. A key factor in selecting Jaco fitting nut types is
the durometer of the tubing. The gripper component material
in the JACO Nut should be slightly harder, if possible, than the
connecting tubing, to ensure optimum grip in the connection.

“We build thousands of Reverse Osmosis Systems annually and

we are a large distribution house of water treatment equipment.

We are starting to do a catalog page and a web video of the

reasons to use USA-made Jaco fittings whenever possible over
“push-to-connect” fittings.

My 25 years of experience has shown me that “push-to-

connect” fittings will leak over time due to worn o-rings. Jaco
fittings may take a few seconds longer to assemble, but
basically do not leak if they are assembled correctly.”
