Featured Product: #J03 Union
Model #J03 is a Female Connector designed to fit 3/8" tubing x 1/4" NPT. Inserted inside our entire product line of JACO Smart Fittings is our own Model #132 Side Seal Valve. The presence of an accurate, reliable check valve inside the JACO fitting ensures precise flow control at a specific opening pressure ranging between 0.07 and 20 PSI.
This valve is capable of providing flow in either direction, but customers must specify the desired flow direction when ordering. Compression nuts come with all of our JACO Smart Fittings to secure your application's tubing in place.
JACO Smart Fittings are available in union, elbow, and tee styles (pictured in the right column).
Combining a JACO fitting with our own Model #132 allows for thousands of combinations of components (plastic body material, o-ring, and opening pressure) to create the perfect version of Model #J03 Female Connector for your unique application criteria.

Check Valve Operation - Stage 3: Open
Opening Pressure is Assigned
Stage 3: Open involves a significant chain reaction of events:
-
pressure builds
-
the O-ring lifts off the cartridge seat
-
a significant amount of gas/liquid flows through the valve
After this series of events, we are now able to assign the valve’s opening pressure.
With Smart Products, you can choose an open pressure to suit your design criteria. Valves are rated at the pressure where the "open" stage occurs.
We use specialized equipment to measure the effects of pressure on a valve’s performance including the open PSI assignment. During this test, pressure builds up within the test volume until the valve opens. The valve opens far enough to allow a large amount of flow to escape, which causes a sudden drop in pressure. The test equipment records the point of this occurrence. All of our valves are rated in this manner.
Even more noteworthy, Smart Products has the ability to customize the open pressure of valves ranging from 0.07 to 20 PSI.
When ordering valves, we can discuss your pressure requirements and help you select the right valve for your application. If you’re looking for relief valves, Stage 3: Open is a critical component to understand because an accurate open pressure ensures your device will function exactly to your device requirements.
