Construction and specification of AA connectors
Construction: AA fittings have two internal threads, two swivel nuts which allows them to be used for connecting components with external threads. They are available in metric, inch, UNF, ORFS versions, as well as with various reduction configurations. Materials: Most commonly produced from carbon steel with a protective zinc coating, which ensures corrosion resistance. Available are also stainless steel versions Range of sizes: Available from M12x1,5 to M52x2 in the case of metric threads and from 1/4” to 2” in inch threads. Working pressures: Maximum working pressure ranges from 90 bar for larger diameters to 400 bar for smaller sizes, which allows for their use in high-pressure systems.
