The All Brass Compression Fitting is a robust mechanical connection designed to securely join tubing or piping systems in industrial and commercial applications. It provides a reliable, leak-free seal using compression force applied by the fitting’s body and internal structure, making it ideal for use in environments where fluid integrity and durability are critical.
The main metal components of this fitting are constructed from brass, specifically a special alloy with significantly improved corrosion resistance to water. This material selection ensures long-term performance in wet or humid conditions while maintaining structural strength under operational stress.
This fitting features a compression design that connects directly to tapered pipe threads. It is available in both male and female taper configurations: R1/8, R1/4, R3/8, and R1/2 for the male thread; Rc1/8, Rc1/4, Rc3/8, and Rc1/2 for the female thread. No connecting sleeve is required during installation, eliminating risks associated with missing or lost sleeves.
The fitting is suitable for use with air, water, and other chemicals under conditional circumstances. It can operate under a maximum vacuum of -101.3 kPa and is designed to function in high-temperature and spatter environments. The operating temperature range is subject to the tube’s limits (no freezing allowed). Maximum operating pressure is limited by the tube's rated pressure, not the fitting itself.
Available in a range of sizes including φ4xφ2.5, φ6xφ4, φ8xφ5, φ8xφ6, φ10xφ6.5, φ10xφ7.5, φ12xφ8, φ12xφ9, φ16xφ11, and φ16xφ13 (all in mm), the fitting offers precise dimensional matching for various tubing systems. All variants are available in a standard brass finish with no color options specified.
Installation requires only the use of hand tools to tighten the compression nut onto the threaded end. The design ensures proper alignment and seating without the need for additional components or lubrication. No lubricant is used during assembly, as the fitting meets non-grease oil-free specifications.
