Tube Fittings Why choose tube fittings Create reliable, leakresistant connections between sections of tubing fast and consistently. Simplify installation and maintenance with designs that allow secure sealing without special tools or excessive torque. Reduce downtime and rework by providing repeatable, durable joints that remain stable under pressure and vibration. Key benefits Secure sealing: Designed to maintain tight connections under typical fluid, gas, and pneumatic pressures to prevent leaks and contamination. Ease of installation: Pushtoconnect, compression, or threaded styles make assembly straightforward for technicians and installers. Versatility: Works with a wide range of tubing systems and layouts, allowing use in builds, retrofits, and repairs. Durable performance: Engineered for repeated connection cycles and stable performance in demanding environments. Important attributes Function: Joins, redirects, or terminates tubing runs while maintaining flow integrity and pressure containment. Compatibility: Available to fit common tubing standards and diameters; suitable for use with metal and polymer tubing depending on the fitting style chosen. Size: Offered in multiple tube diameters and thread sizes to match system requirements; select the fitting size that matches your tubing for proper sealing. Material: Manufactured in materials appropriate for application needs (stainless steel, brass, polymer options are commonly used) to balance corrosion resistance and cost. Performance: Selected to meet pressure, temperature, and chemical compatibility demands of the application—choose the appropriate material and style for system conditions. Typical applications Instrumentation and process control: Connect sensor lines and sample tubing where leak, lowdeadvolume joints are essential. Pneumatic and hydraulic systems: Route compressed air or hydraulic fluid reliably in industrial machinery and automation equipment. Laboratory and medical gas lines: Provide clean, secure connections for gas supply and vacuum lines that require consistent sealing and easy maintenance. Selecting the right tube fitting Match the fitting type to your tubing material and diameter. Verify pressure, temperature, and chemical compatibility for the selected material. Choose the appropriate connection style (compression, pushin, or threaded) based on installation access and maintenance needs. For reliable tubing connections, select a tube fitting that matches your system's size, material compatibility, and performance requirements.
