Smooth-Bore Seamless Stainless Steel Tubing

Seamless construction with no weld bead gives this tubing an interior with unrestricted flow. It is stronger than welded tubing and can be flared without splitting.
304 stainless steel has very good corrosion resistance.
Tubing that meets ASTM specifications adheres to international standards for dimensions and materials.

Miniature Stainless Steel Tubing

Also known as hypodermic or needle tubing, this tubing has thin walls and is made to tight tolerances for use in precision applications. It is welded with a smoothed weld bead on the inside to reduce particle buildup. Tubing connects by welding.
304 stainless steel has very good corrosion resistance.

Quick-Clamp High-Vacuum Fittings for Stainless Steel Tubing

- For Use With:
Fittings with Gasket End: Air, Argon, Helium, Nitrogen
All Other Fittings: Air - Temperature Range: 0° to 300° F
- Tubing: Use with 304/304L or 316/316L stainless steel
- Specifications Met: ISO 2861
Instead of a gasket, these fittings have a special 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).
304 stainless steel 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).

Fittings with threaded pipe end require PTFE tape for sealing the threads.


Clamps tighten by hand. Spring-loaded clamps are also known as toggle clamps.

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.
