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 claw-clamp end are often used to connect high-vacuum components with large-diameter connections, such as coating or heat-treating equipment, to components with smaller connections such as gauges, filters, or pumps. Also known as ISO-K fittings, they connect with four claw clamps and a ring (sold separately).

Clamps for Claw-Clamp High-Vacuum Fittings for Stainless Steel Tubing
Connect claw-clamp high-vacuum fittings for an airtight seal. For a complete connection, you'll need four clamps and a ring (sold separately).
Double-claw clamps attach to the grooves on the fittings.
Single-claw clamps have a clamp on one end and an exposed bolt on the other. Thread the bolt-end directly into the body of pumps, valves, or other high-vacuum components.

Claw-Clamp High-Vacuum Fittings for Stainless Steel Tubing
An alternative to bolt-together fittings, these handle larger tube OD sizes and have higher vacuum ratings than quick-clamp fittings. Also known as ISO-K high-vacuum fittings, the clamps have claws that grab hold of fittings with flanged ends. To complete a connection, use a ring and four clamps (sold separately). Not for use in pressure applications.
Double-claw clamps attach to the grooves on the fittings.
Single-claw clamps have a clamp on one end and an exposed bolt on the other. Thread the bolt-end directly into the body of pumps, valves, or other high-vacuum components.

High-Vacuum Fittings for Stainless Steel Tubing
- For Use With: Air
- Max. Temperature: 400° F
- Tubing: Use with 304/304L Stainless Steel or 316/316L Stainless Steel
Create airtight seals in high-vacuum systems by placing these rings between two claw-clamp (ISO-K) or bolt-together (ISO-F) fittings. They contain a Viton® fluoroelastomer O-ring—when you clamp or bolt your fittings together, the O-ring compresses to establish the seal.
