Tank Tap 3⁄8 (Jaco) Female Thread valve

Description

Jacque (Compression Nut) Tank Taps

The Traditional Choice: Mechanical Security for High-Pressure Environments

• DRO-TNKTAP-J (Jacque): Standard 1/4″ Nut & Sleeve.

• DRO-TNKTAP-BJ (Jacque Big): High-Flow 3/8″ Nut & Sleeve.

Description: Often referred to as “Jacque” or “Nut-style” fittings, these valves use a threaded plastic nut and a small internal sleeve (ferrule) to crush the tubing against the valve stem, creating a permanent mechanical bond. Uses & Applications:

• High-Vibration Areas: Preferred for mobile installations (Caravans, Boats) where constant movement might cause a push-fitting to wiggle.

• Industrial/Heavy Use: Used in environments where the system is frequently moved or bumped, ensuring the tube can never be accidentally “pushed out.” Benefits:

• Permanent Locking: Once the nut is tightened with a spanner, the tube is physically locked onto the valve body.

• Zero “Blow-Out” Risk: Highly resistant to extreme pressure spikes that might occasionally bypass a push-fitting.

• Material: Reinforced nylon or polypropylene for maximum thread strength.
