Tube Fittings Key benefits Provides secure, leaktight connections for tubes in fluid and gas systems. Broad compatibility with a range of standard tube sizes and thread types. Durable options in brass, stainless steel, and plastic to suit different environments. Easy installation and maintenance with reliable sealing and compact design. Flexible configurations to fit tight spaces and varying system layouts. Why customers need this product To connect tubing quickly and reliably in hydraulic, pneumatic, or fluid transfer applications. To prevent leaks and maintain system pressure with dependable sealing across temperatures and chemicals (as offered by model material options). To simplify assembly and reduce downtime with straightforward fittings that suit common tube materials and sizes. How it solves problems Eliminates leaks and corrosion through appropriate material choice and robust thread/ seal designs. Reduces assembly time with userfriendly connection types and straightforward installation. Adapts to different systems by offering multiple configurations, sizes, and thread standards. Key attributes to consider Function: Tubetotube, tubetocomponent, compression, pushtoconnect, or threaded connections, depending on model. Compatibility: Supports common tube diameters and thread standards (such as NPT, BSP, or metric) as offered by each configuration. Size: Available in a range of outer diameters and thread sizes; consult the specific product line for exact options. Material: Common options include brass, stainless steel, and plastic; material choice depends on corrosion resistance, temperature, and chemical compatibility. Performance: Designed for reliable operation within the modelspecific working pressure and temperature range; sealing method varies by type (Oring, ferrule, gasket, or compression). 23 practical use scenarios Pneumatic control lines in an automation cabinet: connect air tubes to valves or actuators using pushtoconnect or compression fittings for quick, tool assembly. Hydraulic test bench: join pressure hydraulic tubes with stainless steel fittings to ensure leak connections and durable performance under stress. DIY or light industrial irrigation: adapt tubing to emitters or valves with compatible compression or barb fittings for secure, leak water flow. How to choose the right fitting Measure tube outer diameter and determine the required connection type (pushtoconnect, compression, threaded, or barb). Identify the thread standard and size needed for system compatibility (NPT, BSP, metric, etc.). Select material based on fluid, environment, and required corrosion resistance. Review the model's working pressure and temperature ratings to ensure suitability for the application. Consult the product data sheet for exact sizing, thread types, and material options available in your chosen configuration. Installation and maintenance tips Ensure tube ends are cut square and deburred for the seal. Tighten to the torque specified for the chosen model; avoid overtightening to prevent damage. Use appropriate sealants or gaskets recommended for the material and fluid, if applicable. Inspect connections periodically for leaks and seals or fittings as needed.
