[0030] Compression Fitting Tee 5: Enables switching between two gases; made of PTFE, PTFE is virtually unaffected by chemicals and can withstand the effects of all strong acids (including aqua regia), strong oxidizing agents, reducing agents, and various organic solvents, except for molten alkali metals, Iberstein bases, fluorinated media, and sodium hydroxide above 300°C. This protects parts from any type of chemical corrosion. Using the PTFE compression fitting tee 5 effectively prevents damage to the tee from corrosive gases.
