Is the Hose plug for inch hoses, type PPFC compatible with all flexible pneumatic hose materials and sizes within the inch series?

Hose plug for inch hoses, type PPFC is intended for flexible pneumatic hoses in inch dimensions, series S, and is made of plastic with operating temperature 0Â°C to +60Â°C, working pressure up to 10 bar and vacuum resistance to 0.99 bar. However, the description does not state universal compatibility with all flexible pneumatic hose materials and every size within the inch series. Compatibility depends on the exact inner diameter, wall stiffness and material (e.g. rubber, PVC, silicone) of the hose: the plug must match the hoseâs internal diameter and form a reliable seal without chemical incompatibility or deformation under pressure/temperature. Therefore, you should verify the specific inch-series size and hose material before use; consult manufacturer specifications or test fit for a secure seal rather than assuming universal compatibility.

Can Hose plug for inch hoses, type PPFC withstand continuous use at 10 bar and 0â60Â°C without performance loss?

Yes. Hose plug for inch hoses, type PPFC is specified for a working pressure of 10 bar and an operating temperature range of 0â+60Â°C. Being made of plastic and rated with those limits indicates it can withstand continuous use at 10 bar within 0â60Â°C without loss of performance, provided application conditions match the specification (no chemical exposure, excessive mechanical wear, or temperature/pressure spikes beyond the stated limits).

Can Hose plug for inch hoses, type PPFC be used for temporary vacuum applications down to 0.01 bar?

Hose plug for inch hoses, type PPFC cannot be recommended for temporary vacuum applications down to 0.01 bar. Specified vacuum performance is 0.99 bar, which means it can withstand only a shallow vacuum (approximately 1% of atmospheric pressure below ambient). A target of 0.01 bar corresponds to a deep vacuum (~99% below atmospheric pressure) and is far beyond the stated capability. Additionally, the product is made of plastic and rated for operating temperatures 0Â°C to +60Â°C; under deep vacuum conditions material deformation, leak paths at hose interfaces, or outgassing could further compromise performance. For safe and reliable use at 0.01 bar you should select a component explicitly rated for that vacuum level or consult the manufacturer for validated vacuum ratings and suitability testing.
