How to Identify and Measure Fittings
Pipe size is an industry designation, not the actual size. View information about how to measure threaded and unthreaded pipe and pipe fittings.

Extra-Fine-Filtration Clean Room Vacuum Cleaners for Dry Pickup
To maintain clean rooms, use these vacuum cleaners. They have a ULPA filter that is 99.99% efficient at 0.12 microns.
Vacuums with an aluminum tank have a micro filter, which protects the vacuum’s ULPA filter.

Polished to at least a 15 Ra finish on the inside, these fittings have an ultra-smooth interior surface that helps prevent contamination. Also known as ultra-high-purity fittings, they’re packed in a Class 100 clean room, cleaned, and double bagged. They are commonly used in semiconductor applications. Fittings use a metal gasket (sold separately), which generates fewer particles than a rubber gasket and creates a strong seal in high-pressure and ultra-high-vacuum applications. Fittings are 316 stainless steel for excellent corrosion resistance.
To assemble, place a gasket between the gasket ends before gently rotating the female-threaded fitting onto the male-threaded fitting. Tighten until 1/8 of a turn past finger tight.
Choose threaded fittings to attach directly to other fittings. Or, choose one of the following types of fittings to attach directly to tubing:
Butt-weld fittings allow for a smooth, flush connection that provides maximum flow.
Socket-connect fittings are easier to weld than butt-weld fittings because they don’t need to align perfectly.
Yor-Lok fittings have two sleeves that bite into tubing as you tighten the nut, creating a strong steal without the need for welding. They're also known as instrumentation fittings.
Tube stem fittings connect to Yor-Lok fittings (sold separately).

Retaining
Tabs
Nickel gaskets are softer than stainless steel gaskets, so they won’t wear down sealing surfaces as much, and they’re easier to tighten. They’re reactive to carbon monoxide and ozone, so they shouldn’t be used with those chemicals.
Hard and heat resistant, stainless steel gaskets can be used in a wider range of applications than nickel gaskets such as carbon monoxide and ozone. However, they’re harder to tighten than nickel gaskets, and they’ll wear down sealing surfaces more quickly.
Silver-plated stainless steel gaskets are softer than unfinished stainless steel gaskets, so they won’t wear down sealing surfaces as much, and they’re easier to tighten. However, they oxidize when exposed to air, and silver particles might flake off during assembly.
Gaskets with retaining tabs stay in place during installation, so you don’t have to hold the gasket while fastening fittings together. This also means they’re less likely to scratch or nick your fittings by rotating during installation.
