CI Series Internal Seal Air Actuated Connectors

The CTS Connect CI series pneumatic connectors effectively seal the inside diameter (ID) on smooth, rough, or threaded circular features of a part. These pneumatic connectors consist of an air-driven internal piston that compresses the CTS-proprietary seal material against the surface of the part, creating a tight seal that meets all test pressure requirements regardless of surface shape or finish.
 
Sealing ranges of 0.270” ID to 4.125 ID and all standard NPT, SAE, Metric and BS design fittings. Rated up to 120 psig hold force on a part.
Five different models of CTS Connect CI air actuated seals clustered together.

Fast Delivery of Inside Diameter Seals

The CI Connects are in stock typically with a five-day lead time. That is not the only reason to choose CTS internal diameter connectors:

  • Superior sealing capability without the risk of scratching the surface of the part
  • Automated sealing to minimize operator fatigue and injury
  • Threaded and tapered connector nose
  • Large test/fill port holes for better conductance
  • Easy seal replacement
  • Material grade provides long seal life
  • Medical grade seals available

Patented Stroke Limiter Ensures Positive ID Seal

The built-in stroke limiter is key to providing a positive seal. When the seal is actuated outside of a port, the stroke limiter will stop before the seal is over-extended. This CTS-patented technology helps reduce wear on your seals.
