Its non-reactive PTFE construction, smooth surface finish, and zero metallic contamination make it ideal for sterile and contamination-sensitive applications such as cleanrooms and pharmaceutical labs.
PTFE Flared Nozzle
The PTFE Flared Nozzle is a high-performance fluid handling component engineered to provide efficient, reliable, and clean dispensing of liquids and gases in demanding industrial environments. Designed with a flared-end connection, this nozzle ensures secure, leak-free integration with PTFE tubing systems, making it an ideal choice for precision flow control in high-purity and chemically aggressive applications.
Crafted from 100% virgin PTFE (Polytetrafluoroethylene), the nozzle exhibits exceptional resistance to chemicals, extreme temperatures, and mechanical stress. Its inherent non-stick surface ensures minimal fluid retention and easy cleaning, contributing to reduced cross-contamination risks and enhanced system hygiene. Whether dealing with corrosive acids, caustics, or ultra-pure water, the PTFE Flared Nozzle stands out as a durable and safe solution.
Key Advantages of PTFE Flared Nozzle:
One of the primary benefits of using PTFE in nozzle design lies in its broad chemical resistance—making it virtually inert to nearly all industrial chemicals. It remains stable across a wide temperature range (-50°C to +260°C), ensuring consistent performance in extreme thermal environments. Its smooth, hydrophobic surface significantly reduces product build-up, while its mechanical toughness ensures long-term durability, even under repeated operational cycles.
The flared-end connection design allows easy assembly and disassembly, facilitating quick maintenance while ensuring a secure fit with PTFE tubing systems. This makes it particularly effective in industries where minimizing leaks, contamination, and maintenance downtime is critical.
Manufactured to the highest quality standards, including ASTM D4895 and FDA compliance, each PTFE Flared Nozzle is precision-machined to deliver consistent flow, dimensional accuracy, and operational reliability. These nozzles are an essential component in systems requiring rigorous safety, cleanliness, and resistance to aggressive fluids.

FAQ’s
Have a question before you buy our products? Take a look at the FAQs below.
If you don’t find the answer you’re looking for, get in touch with us here.
- What makes this nozzle suitable for use in cleanroom environments?
- How does the flared connection help in system performance?
The flared design ensures a tight seal without the need for threaded fittings or gaskets, reducing the risk of leaks and making it easier to maintain system integrity in high-purity or corrosive environments.
- Can it handle frequent sterilization cycles?
Yes, PTFE’s thermal and chemical resistance allows it to withstand CIP (Clean-in-Place), SIP (Steam-in-Place), and other sterilization methods commonly used in pharmaceutical and food-grade processes.
- Is it safe to use for high-purity water dispensing?
Absolutely. Its inert surface prevents leaching, absorption, or contamination, making it a preferred choice for ultrapure water systems, especially in laboratories and microelectronics.
- How does it compare with metal or plastic nozzles in corrosive media?
Unlike metal nozzles that may corrode or leach ions and plastics that may degrade, PTFE offers universal chemical resistance and long-term stability in highly corrosive media.
- What maintenance is required over time?
Minimal. Due to its non-stick surface and corrosion resistance, buildup is rare. A simple rinse or wipe is usually sufficient for cleaning, reducing system downtime.
- Can this component be integrated into automated fluid systems?
Yes, it's highly compatible with automated dosing, sampling, and fluid handling setups in process plants and analytical instruments.
- Are custom manufacturing tolerances or OEM branding available?
Yes, custom dimensions, branding, and packaging options can be offered for OEMs and bulk procurement projects, ensuring compatibility with unique systems.
- Does it support compliance with regulatory frameworks like GMP or USP Class VI?
When requested, materials and certifications can be aligned with pharmaceutical compliance needs including GMP, USP Class VI, and FDA 21 CFR 177.1550.
- What industries benefit most from using this nozzle?
It's widely used in chemical processing, biotechnology, pharmaceuticals, food & beverage, and semiconductor manufacturing—industries where cleanliness, chemical resistance, and reliability are essential.
