Guardian Seal™ Plating Technology for Tube Fittings

Eaton Guardian Seal™ Plating Technology

For many years, both equipment manufacturers and users have requested improved corrosion resistance on carbon steel fluid conveyance connections in order to support improved equipment performance, reduce replacement costs, and maintain the original equipment appearance. With Guardian Seal plating technology, Walterscheid tube fittings meet the need for higher corrosion protection that is required in the most challenging environments. Guardian Seal, when used on carbon steel Walterscheid metric tube fittings, is proven to protect against red corrosion up to a minimum of 1000 hours. The advanced protection provided by Guardian Seal on Walterscheid products has been proven to provide seven (7) times greater protection than the minimum industry requirements.
