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 flanged end connect to pumps, valves or gauges that have flanged connections. Also known as conflat, CF, or UHV fittings, they have a higher vacuum rating than quick-clamp fittings, so these adapters allow you to connect between different levels of vacuum within a system. A copper gasket (sold separately) creates a tight seal between the two flanges.

Ultra-High-Vacuum Flanges and Fittings for Stainless Steel Tubing
- For Use With: Air
- Temperature Range:
Flanges: -300° to 800° F
Gaskets: Not Rated - Tubing: Use with 304/304L and 316/316L stainless steel
- Specifications Met:
Flanges: ASTM A240, ASTM E45, ASTM E12
Gaskets: ASTM B152-179, ASTM F68
Create access points in ultra-high-vacuum lines or chambers by bolting two same-size flanges together with a copper gasket (sold separately) between them. The flanges’ sharp edges dig into the copper gasket and form an extremely tight seal, which means they handle higher vacuum pressures than other high-vacuum fittings with rubber gaskets. Also known as CF, Conflat, and UHV fittings, use them in vacuum coating, heat treating, and drying applications, as well as for leak testing and analyzing gases. They’re stainless steel so they resist rusting.
Fittings with a rotating flange turn so you can easily match up the bolt holes with another flange that may be misaligned.
Butt-weld flanges provide a flush connection for smooth flow through your line.
Socket-connect flanges are easier to weld than butt-weld flanges because they don’t need to align perfectly to tubing; insert the tubing into the socket end and weld together.
Caps are also known as blind flanges.
Bolt kits are required to make a complete connection.

Through-Wall Fittings for High-Vacuum Chambers
- For Use With: See table
- Environment Temperature Range: 32° to 300° F
- Process Temperature Range: -325° to 995° F
- Tubing: Use with 304/304L or 316/316L stainless steel
- Specifications Met: See table
Also known as feedthroughs, these fittings transfer liquids, cryogenic liquids, or gasses into high-vacuum chambers for coating, cooling, and leak-testing applications without losing vacuum pressure. Consisting of high-vacuum fittings, metal tubing, and Yor-lok tube fittings, these complete assemblies come ready to install. The quick-clamp (KF) or flanged (CF) high-vacuum fittings form a tight seal on chamber walls. On each end, the Yor-lok fittings include a nut and two sleeves that grip your system’s stainless steel tubing for a leak- and gas-tight connection. The entire assembly is stainless steel so it resists rusting. Not for use in pressure applications.
Flanged fittings require a gasket and bolt kit (each sold separately) to complete the connection.

Flow Sights for High Vacuum
Peer through the glass on these flow sights to see what’s happening in your high-vacuum line. These flow sights are often used to check the progress of fluids, gases, or probes entering the vacuum system, or to confirm that contaminants have been pumped out. They can also be used as an insulator or low-voltage electrical break on high-vacuum tube lines. The body is 304 stainless steel, which emits less gas into a vacuum than other types of metal and does not corrode in water. The glass tube and stainless steel body are fused together to eliminate leaks. These flow sights are also known as glass tube adapters. Not for use in pressure applications.
Bolt flow sights with a flanged connection to another flange with a copper gasket (sold separately) in between. These flanges are also known as CF, Conflat, and UHV connections.
