Frequently asked questions
Is this durable enough for dental equipment?
Yes, this component is constructed from high-quality black nylon, specifically engineered to withstand the rigorous demands of dental equipment applications, ensuring reliable performance.
How many units come in a single package?
Each order includes a package of two (2) units, providing you with immediate spares or the ability to complete a dual-port installation at once.
Is this compatible with my Dentsply Cavitron system?
Yes, the RPI RPF978 is specifically designed for use with the Dentsply Cavitron JET Plus™ (G132) ultrasonic scaler system, ensuring an exact fit for your maintenance needs.
What tubing size fits this barb connector?
The barb interface is precision-engineered to provide a secure connection for 1/8-inch Inner Diameter (ID) tubing.
Can this be used in rotating or moving parts?
No, this swivel elbow is intended for stationary fluid pathway connections. It is not suitable for applications involving continuous rotation or gyrating movement.
Does this require any special washers for installation?
While the elbow fits standard #10-32 female ports, for optimal sealing and maintenance, we recommend pairing it with the RPI Flat Washer (Part #ADW038), which is available separately.
Are there specific tubing recommendations to pair with this?
For a complete and reliable fluid line assembly, this connector is designed to integrate perfectly with RPI Part #RPT941 Blue Tubing (0.107” ID x 3/16” OD).
What is the threading specification for the male end?
The male end features a standard #10-32 thread, making it highly versatile for connections to compatible female ports and solenoid valves within your system.
Is this a factory-new replacement part?
Yes, this is a factory-new RPI component. Because it is sourced directly from the manufacturer, you are guaranteed fresh stock and high-quality specialized handling.
How compact is this fitting for tight spaces?
The design is specifically intended for compact installation. Its small form factor and 90-degree elbow shape allow for efficient fluid routing even in the confined internal spaces of ultrasonic scalers.
