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.

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.
Threaded connections can be taken apart for maintenance and repair.Metric and BSPP fittings have a Buna-N O-ring to ensure a strong seal. Buna-N is made of FDA listed material for use with food and beverages. These O-rings are resilient and resist tearing, animal and vegetable oil, citric acid, sodium bicarbonate, grease, and motor oil.

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. Brass fittings resist corrosion better than zinc-plated steel fittings. 303 stainless steel fittings are more corrosion resistant than brass fittings and have good chemical resistance.
Fittings with a check valve prevent grease from leaking when pressure causes backward flow. The valve stays closed when not in use to keep out dirt and other contaminants.
