Miniature Medium-Pressure Stainless Steel Threaded Pipe Fittings
When space is at a premium choose these compact fittings. Though small in size, they have the strength to handle medium-pressure applications. Fittings are stainless steel for very good corrosion resistance.
Metric, BSPP, and UN/UNF (SAE Straight) male threads have a gasket to protect against leaks. Made from fluoroelastomer, these gaskets resist chemicals, including benzene, butyl alcohol, and ethylene glycol. UN/UNF (SAE Straight) threads are also known as O-ring boss threads.

Miniature Low-Pressure Brass Threaded Pipe Fittings
Less than an inch in length, these miniature fittings work well in low-pressure pipe lines that are tight on space. They are brass, which has good corrosion resistance. Nickel-plated brass fittings offer better corrosion resistance than unplated brass.
UN/UNF (SAE Straight) threads are also known as O-ring boss threads; the male threads have a gasket to protect against leaks.

Plastic Pipe Fittings for Oil
Made of corrosion-resistant plastic, these fittings won’t deteriorate when used in oil applications. They also have high strength and impact resistance. Apply a non-hardening, plastic-compatible sealant to the male threads to prevent leaks. Tape or sealants with PTFE are not recommended for plastic-to-plastic threaded connections. When making a threaded connection be careful not to overtighten the threads. To prevent cracks and leaks, finger tighten the fitting, then wrench-tighten one to two turns.
Warning: Never use plastic pipe fittings and pipe with compressed air or gas.
Sealants cannot be sold to Colorado, Connecticut, District of Columbia, Delaware, Illinois, Indiana, Massachusetts, Maryland, Maine, Michigan, New Hampshire, New Jersey, Northern Virginia, New York, Ohio, Pennsylvania, Rhode Island, or Utah due to local VOC (Volatile Organic Compounds) regulations.

Brass Quick-Turn Tube Couplings for Air
An all-brass body gives these couplings better strength and durability than plastic quick-turn couplings. They have a nickel plating for extra protection against corrosive environments. Also known as luer lock couplings, they consist of a plug and socket (sold separately) that connect with a half turn. They have a compact body, so they’re easy to fit in tight spaces. Plugs and sockets are open-flow style, so there is no shut-off valve to stop the flow when the coupling is separated. They have a universal connection, so the plugs will connect to any of the sockets, regardless of the pipe or tube size.
Note: For a complete coupling, order a plug and a socket.

Grease Fittings
Thread these fittings into motors, bearings, engine blocks, and other machinery to create a lubrication point. They’re also known as hydraulic grease fittings.
Zinc-plated steel fittings have mild corrosion resistance. UNF threads are similar to threads on a machine screw or bolt. They require a sealant, such as an O-ring, to minimize leakage.
For technical drawings and 3-D models, click on a part number.
Flush-Style Grease Fittings
The nipple doesn't stick out, so these fittings fit in tight spaces and won't be damaged if something knocks into them. An integral check valve prevents grease from leaking when pressure causes backward flow. The valve stays closed when not in use to keep out dirt and other contaminants.
Zinc-plated steel fittings have mild corrosion resistance.
Install Styles A, B, and D with a slotted screwdriver. UNF threads are similar to threads on a machine screw or bolt. They require a sealant, such as an O-ring, to minimize leakage.
