T-SEP™ (Tube Separation Assembly) is an assembly to separate pneumatic tubes. An anti- corrosion device, T-SEP™ is designed to allow corrosive elements to escape tubing before corrosion would develop. T-SEP Assembly™ consists of four main parts: Flat Bar, I-Rod, Tube Spacer and Hardware.
Flat Bar - manufactured from SS316 or 6061 series aluminum. Dimensions: 1/4 x 1" wide x L. Flat Bar will be prefabricated to fit tray size, hardware access will be installed.
I-Rod® - a durable thermo-plastic, extruded and cut into 1/2 round. I-Rod has excellent compressive strength, UV stability and a very low friction coefficient. The I-Rod will be prefabricated to accept matching flat bar and hardware. Two identical pieces will be supplied with assembly.
Tube Spacer - are manufactured from stainless steel grade 316. Spacers are available 1/4", 3/8", 1/2", 3/4" and 1" diameter tubing. Spacers may be adapted to accept number of tubes required. Spacers are designed for minimal contact with tubing yet durable to maintain separation. Spacers are also available with epoxy powder coated finished to Mil Spec # Mil-C-24712.
Hardware - 1/4 - 20 SS316 Hex Head Bolts, 1/4 - 20 SS316 Flat Washers and 1/4" SS316 Lock Nut are provided with the T-SEP Assembly. In order to maintain a 6" or less separation for hardware, access holes will be installed as follows:
- Where multiple holes are installed, matching hardware will be supplied unless specified otherwise.
