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 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.

Use these fittings in applications ranging from semiconductor manufacturing to satellites and rockets. They resist high vibration and vacuum while maintaining high purity. Two anti-torque rings stop the fittings from twisting your tubing or component during installation. This also prevents the fittings from loosening or leaking from high vibration, so they’re safe to use with hazardous gases. All are compatible with Swagelok® VCR fittings.
Also known as ultra-high-purity fittings, these fittings were packed in a Class 100 clean room, so they arrive without contaminants. They're also designed from inside and out to prevent the creation of contaminants. Made of stainless steel, they won’t rust. Their anti-torque rings prevent galling, which extends the life of the seal while limiting particles. A metal gasket, instead of a rubber one, also reduces the potential for particles. And their interior is polished to a 7 Ra finish—the same as a high-quality stainless steel sink—to prevent particles from clinging to the inside.
Choose from fully assembled fittings or build a custom fitting. For a complete fitting, you'll need two anti-torque rings, two adapters, a male and female nut, and a gasket.

Nickel gaskets are softer than stainless steel gaskets, so they won’t wear down sealing surfaces as much, and they’re easier to tighten. However, they don’t withstand temperatures as high. They’re reactive to carbon monoxide and ozone, so they shouldn’t be used with those chemicals.
Stainless steel gaskets are a more universal gasket material than nickel gaskets. They’re also stronger and better at handling high temperatures. You can use them with carbon monoxide and ozone. However, they’re harder to tighten than nickel gaskets, and they’ll wear down sealing surfaces more quickly.
Nuts for High-Pressure Nipples for Compressed Gas
Slide a high-pressure hose nipple for compressed gas into one of these nuts to connect a pipe to the inlet of a pressure regulator. They are also known as CGA (Compressed Gas Association) nuts and inlet nuts.
316 stainless steel nuts have excellent corrosion resistance.
Nuts with left-hand threads are identified with a notch.
Note: Nuts have a CGA, BS, or DIN number that corresponds to a specific type of gas. Choose a nut with the same number as your tank and other system components.
