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.
