Tube Fittings What it is Precision fittings designed to join, adapt, seal, or terminate tubing in fluid and gas systems. Available in a range of connection styles to suit compression, flare, pushtoconnect, and threaded installations. Key benefits — why you need it Secure connections that prevent leaks and reduce downtime. Fast, repeatable installation that saves labor on assembly and maintenance. Versatile compatibility with common tubing materials and system pressures when matched to the correct fitting style and material. Durable construction for long service life in routine and demanding applications. Core attributes Function: Joins, adapts, or terminates tubing while maintaining flow integrity and system pressure. Compatibility: Works with a variety of tubing types and sizes; select the appropriate fitting style for your tube material (metal, plastic, or composite). Size options: Offered in common tube diameters and thread sizes; choose the correct size to ensure a proper seal and rated performance. Materials: Manufactured from corrosionresistant metals or engineered polymers depending on application needs; material selection affects chemical compatibility and temperature range. Performance: Engineered to provide reliable sealing under normal operating pressures and temperatures for the chosen fitting type and material. How it solves problems Eliminates common leak points by using designed sealing methods (compression ferrule, Oring, flare seating, or tapered thread). Simplifies system modifications with readily available adapters and union styles. Reduces inventory complexity by offering interchangeable styles for the same nominal tube size. Practical use scenarios Laboratory fluid lines: Create leak connections for reagent or gas delivery where clean, compact fittings are required. Industrial pneumatic systems: Connect air lines quickly and securely, minimizing downtime during assembly or service. HVAC and refrigeration or automotive assemblies: Adapt tubing runs and join sections where reliable pressure containment and resistance to vibration are . Buying guidance Match fitting style to tube material and application (pressure, temperature, fluid compatibility). Confirm tube outer diameter and thread specifications before selecting a fitting. Choose material based on corrosion resistance and chemical exposure. Notes Select fittings and installation practices recommended for your specific system requirements to ensure performance and safety.
