Vibration-Resistant Compression Fittings for Stainless Steel Tubing
- For Use With: Acetylene, Air, Butane, Compressed Air, Cutting Oil, Diesel Fuel, Fuel Oil, Gasoline, Helium, Hydraulic Fluid (Petroleum Base), Kerosene, Mineral Oil, Natural Gas, Nitrogen, Propane, Soap Solutions
- Temperature Range: -10° to 400° F
- Tubing: Use with seamless 316Ti or 321 stainless steel
- Specifications Met: DIN 3861
Instead of a metal sleeve (ferrule), these fittings have a rubber sleeve that cushions tubing and absorbs vibration to maintain a tight seal, even when connected to large pumps. However, rubber sleeves can’t withstand temperatures as high as metal ones. To create the strong seal, tighten the included nut. These fittings are made of 316 stainless steel, so they have excellent corrosion resistance. They’re also known as flareless fittings. All meet DIN 3861, which is an international standard for compression tube fitting specifications.
BSPP and metric male threads have a gasket to prevent leaks.

Check Valves with Barbed Fittings for Harsh Chemicals
Prevent backflow in chemical tubing lines. These valves have barbed fittings that grip onto tubing, providing a secure hold. The plastic body and fluoroelastomer seal provide excellent chemical resistance. Valves open to allow flow in one direction and close when flow stops or reverses.
Polypropylene valves are more corrosion resistant than nylon valves.
Nylon valves are more impact resistant than polypropylene valves.
Flow coefficient (Cv) is the amount of water (in gallons per minute) at 60° F that will flow through a fully open valve with a difference of 1 psi between the inlet and the outlet.
