The Tube Fitting Stainless SUS316 Compression Fitting Series is a precision-engineered connection designed for secure, leak-free joining of tubes in demanding environments. It provides reliable fluid transfer through a compression mechanism that ensures a tight seal without the need for additional tools or lubricants during installation.
The fitting is constructed entirely from SUS316 stainless steel, which offers excellent corrosion resistance and long-term durability in aggressive chemical exposures. No copper-based metallic materials are used in the flow path, ensuring compatibility with environments where copper contamination must be avoided.
This compression fitting features a sleeveless design that simplifies installation by eliminating the need for a separate sleeve. The connection interface is compatible with standard taper pipe threads, including male tapers such as R1/8, R1/4, R3/8, and R1/2, as well as female tapers like Rc1/8, Rc1/4, Rc3/8, and Rc1/2.
The fitting is suitable for use with air, water, and various chemicals under controlled conditions. The maximum operating pressure is limited by the tube's own pressure rating, while the maximum vacuum capability reaches -100 kPa. Operating temperature range is subject to the tube’s limits, provided that freezing conditions are avoided.
Available in a range of sizes including φ4xφ2, φ4xφ2.5, φ6xφ4, φ8xφ5, φ8xφ6, φ10xφ6.5, φ10xφ7.5, φ10xφ8, φ12xφ8, φ12xφ9, φ12xφ10, φ16xφ11, φ16xφ13 in millimeters, and corresponding inch sizes such as φ6.35xφ4.57 (1/4"), φ9.53xφ6.99 (3/8"), and φ12.7xφ9.56 (1/2").
Installation is straightforward due to the sleeveless design, allowing for quick assembly without tools or lubrication. The fitting is packaged in a clean room environment with fluorine grease applied after cleaning with clean air, ensuring a contamination-free and oil-free assembly process.
