Nickel-Plated Brass Compression Fittings for Copper Tubing
- For Use With: Air, Cutting Oil, Diesel Fuel, Ethyl Alcohol, Fuel Oil, Gasoline, Hydraulic Fluid, Isopropyl Alcohol, Lubricants, Mineral Oil, Natural Gas, Steam, Water
- Temperature Range: -75° to 550° F, except 90° elbow adapters with BSPP threads are 0° to 170° F
- Tubing: Use with copper
- Specifications Met: DIN 3861, except nuts meet DIN 3870
With a nickel-plated finish, these compression fittings resist corrosion better than plain brass fittings. They have a single sleeve (ferrule) made of plain brass that gently bites into copper tubing as you tighten the nut, creating a strong seal. The nut and sleeve are included. These fittings are also known as flareless fittings. All meet DIN standards for tube fitting dimensions.

Precision Compression Fittings for Stainless Steel Tubing
- For Use With: Air, Cutting Oil, Ethyl Alcohol, Fuel Oil, Gasoline, Hydraulic Fluid, Isopropyl Alcohol, Mineral Oil, Natural Gas, Steam, Water
- Temperature Range: -420° to 1200° F
- Tubing: Use with welded or seamless 304 or 316 stainless steel that meets ASTM A213, ASTM A249, or ASTM A269
- Compatible With: Parker CPI
Made to tighter tolerances than other compression fittings, these are designed for high-precision applications. Also known as instrumentation fittings and flareless fittings. They come with a nut and a single sleeve (ferrule). The sleeve bites into tubing as you tighten the nut to create a strong seal. Fittings are 316 stainless steel for excellent corrosion resistance. A molybdenum disulfide coating on the nut acts as a lubricant for easy installation.

Fittings with tube stem insert into the tube end of another fitting in place of a length of tubing.

Plastic Quick-Disconnect Tube Couplings for Air and Water
Lighter in weight than their metal counterparts, these quick-disconnect couplings are plastic. They consist of a plug and a socket that allow you to frequently connect and disconnect your line.
Latch-lock sockets disconnect by pressing the latch.
Acetal plugs and sockets are moisture resistant, so they won’t absorb water and lose strength, even in high-humidity environments. Plug and Sockets with shut-off have a valve to stop the flow when the coupling is separated, so air or water won’t spill from your line.
Note: For a complete coupling, order a plug and a socket with the same coupling size.

- Temperature Range: -40° to 180° F
- Tubing: Use with nylon plastic or polyethylene plastic, see table for hardness

Made of stainless steel, these fittings are more durable than plastic barbed tube fittings for food and beverage. They have single or multiple barbs that grip onto tubing.
Compression connections bite into hard metal and plastic tubing. They’re also known as flareless fittings.

Grease Fitting Junction Blocks
Choose these blocks if you need to lubricate multiple points but need to control how each is greased. Unlike grease fitting manifolds, these blocks have multiple fittings, so you control what each point receives and when. Use the compression fittings on the outlets to connect tubing (not included) between the grease fittings and lubrication points.
Magnetic-mount blocks stick to machines and other steel surfaces.
Zinc-plated steel blocks have mild corrosion resistance. 303 stainless steel blocks are more corrosion resistant than zinc-plated steel blocks and have good chemical resistance.

Grease Fitting Manifolds
Save time by sending grease from one fitting to multiple points. These manifolds come with everything you need to set up a remote lubrication system. They deliver the same amount of grease to each lubrication point, so you’ll sometimes see them used to grease an entire machine. All lubrication points connected to the manifold must use the same type of grease.
The tubing attaches to the compression fittings on the manifold’s outlets. To connect the other end of the tubing to your lubrication point, use a compression fitting, an adapter, or both. Adapters come in a variety of shapes and sizes to reach tight or hard-to-reach areas.
