- Temperature Range: -65° to 250° F
- Tubing: Use with firm (Durometer 95A) EVA plastic or polyurethane rubber
- Specifications Met: SAE J512
A built-in tube support slips inside the tubing to prevent collapsing and provides a sturdy connection for an extra-tight seal. Fittings have a single sleeve (ferrule) that compresses the tubing as you tighten the nut. The nut and sleeve are included. Fittings are also known as flareless fittings. They are brass for good corrosion resistance.

- Specifications Met: SAE J512
- Temperature Range: -65° to 250° F
Use these sleeves with tight-seal brass compression nuts and fittings to create a seal on plastic and rubber tubing. They are acetal, so they won’t damage tubing.

Plastic Compression Tube Fittings for Water
![](/prerenderstable/mvPRE/contents/gfx/imagecache/569/5694t71--1d13d830ae91635942799-p9@halfx_637715216286814542.png?ver=imagenotfound)
- Temperature Range: -40° to 200° F
- Tubing: Use with firm or hard (Durometer 1A-90A or Durometer OD-75D) nylon plastic or polypropylene plastic
Made of acetal, these compression fittings are lighter in weight than metal compression fittings and won’t absorb moisture when used in wet environments. Fittings include a nut with a built-in sleeve (ferrule), so there’s no need to remove the nut for assembly. The sleeve compresses the tubing as you tighten the nut, creating a strong seal. Fittings are also known as flareless fittings.
Tube supports (sold separately) are recommended if you want to use the fittings with soft nylon and polypropylene tubing to prevent the tube from collapsing.
