Frequently Asked Questions
What ferrule configuration is included?
This fitting includes the compression nut and one front ferrule. Standard Swagelok tubing assemblies use a two-ferrule system; any back ferrule or additional tubing hardware is not included.
What thread standard is used on the female port?
The female port utilizes National Pipe Taper (NPT) tapered threads designed to seal on the thread flank with appropriate thread sealant or PTFE tape.
How do I determine if this fitting matches my tube and port size?
The fitting body is stamped with Swagelok material and origin marks rather than a dimensional catalog number. Check your line requirements against the tube compression OD and female NPT thread diameter before ordering.
Solid stainless hardware that threads down tight and stays put. When your line cannot afford a single weeping joint, standard Swagelok metal-to-metal sealing gets the job done.
