Medium-pressure gaugeable tube and adapter fittings provide a leaktight gas seal and vibration resistance in applications to 15,000 psig. The all-316 stainlesssteel fittings come in elbows, unions, bulkhead unions, reducing unions, tees, crosses, caps, and plugs in 1 /4 , 3 /8 , and ½-in. sizes. Comprised of a male nut, female body, front ferrule, and back ferrule, the fittings apply a hinging-colleting action to grip and seal tubing securely with no special tube preparation required.

Features of the space-saving fittings include easy connection to heavy-wall annealed or cold-drawn 1/8 -hard stainlesssteel tubing; fitting assembly requires one turn, allowing manual or automated assembly; preassembled disposable cartridges for correct ferrule orientation; and low-temperature case-hardened processing of the ferrules and nut provides enhanced performance and corrosion resistance.
