Danfoss Specialty Connectors
WALForm
Danfoss’s WALFormplus® connection system is the most popular and leading cold forming metric tube fitting system in the world. Danfoss’s WALFormplus® metric tube fitting connection system offers the advantages of both an elastomeric and metal-on-metal seal. Ease of assembly and re-assembly is guaranteed with the assistance of a final assembly stop. The WALFormplus tube system provides lasting functional reliability even under high, dynamic pressure impulse and vibration loads.reliably avoids both insufficient and excessive tightening – the most frequent causes of faults. The fixing of the support ring (patent pending) permits simple and unequivocal assembly control.
Features
- Offers the advantage of both an elastomeric and metal-on-metal seal
- Forming of tube end is provided by a proprietary Danfoss forming machine
- Ease of assembly up to the point of resistance
- Over 25% reduction in torque needed to assemble system compared to cutting ring solutions
- Available with tube diameters ranging from 6 up to 42mm in both carbon and stainless steel
- Metal-on-metal version with support ring solution for use with thin walled tubing
