Quick-Clamp High-Vacuum Fittings for Stainless Steel Tubing
- For Use With:
Fittings with Gasket End: Air, Argon, Helium, Nitrogen
All Other Fittings: Air - Specifications Met: ISO 2861
Instead of a gasket, these fittings have a metal-reinforced O-ring that is designed for high-vacuum applications, such as vacuum coating and heat treating, leak testing, and analyzing gases. Also known as KF, QF, and NW fittings, they are the most common type of connection in high-vacuum systems. Connect with a clamp and another quick-clamp fitting for fast, easy access to your line. To use fittings in pressure applications, use a pressure-rated ring (sold separately). Made of 304 stainless steel, these fittings have very good corrosion resistance.
Note: To complete a connection, you’ll need two quick-clamp fittings, a ring, and a clamp (all sold separately).

- Temperature Range: 0° to 300° F
- Tubing: Use with 304/304L or 316/316L stainless steel
Fittings with flanged end connect to pumps, valves or gauges that have flanged connections. Also known as conflat, CF, or UHV fittings, they have a higher vacuum rating than quick-clamp fittings, so these adapters allow you to connect between different levels of vacuum within a system. A copper gasket (sold separately) creates a tight seal between the two flanges.

Valves are also known as vacuum isolation valves. They connect to a vacuum system so you can install gauges, release gases, and remove air. They operate manually and have a compact body that fits easily into tight spaces.

Ultra-High-Vacuum Flanges and Fittings for Stainless Steel Tubing
- For Use With: Air
- Temperature Range:
Flanges: -300° to 800° F
Gaskets: Not Rated - Tubing: Use with 304/304L and 316/316L stainless steel
- Specifications Met:
Flanges: ASTM A240, ASTM E45, ASTM E12
Gaskets: ASTM B152-179, ASTM F68
Create access points in ultra-high-vacuum lines or chambers by bolting two same-size flanges together with a copper gasket (sold separately) between them. The flanges’ sharp edges dig into the copper gasket and form an extremely tight seal, which means they handle higher vacuum pressures than other high-vacuum fittings with rubber gaskets. Also known as CF, Conflat, and UHV fittings, use them in vacuum coating, heat treating, and drying applications, as well as for leak testing and analyzing gases. They’re stainless steel so they resist rusting.
Fittings with a rotating flange turn so you can easily match up the bolt holes with another flange that may be misaligned.
Butt-weld flanges provide a flush connection for smooth flow through your line.
Socket-connect flanges are easier to weld than butt-weld flanges because they don’t need to align perfectly to tubing; insert the tubing into the socket end and weld together.
Caps are also known as blind flanges.
Bolt kits are required to make a complete connection.
