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
Transfer liquids and gasses into high-vacuum chambers with these assembled fittings, also known as feedthroughs. Because they form a tight seal on chamber walls, they are often used in coating, cooling, and leak-testing applications where negative pressure (vacuum) must be maintained. These fittings are ready to install and include high-vacuum fittings, metal tubing, and Yor-lok tube fittings. On each end, the Yor-lok fittings include a nut and two sleeves that grip your system’s stainless steel tubing. The entire assembly is stainless steel, so it resists rusting. These fittings are not for use in pressure applications.
Quick-clamp fittings meet ISO 2861, which specifies the dimensions of quick-clamp high-vacuum fittings, clamps, and rings to ensure vacuum tightness. These fittings require a clamp and ring (each sold separately) to complete the connection.
Flanged fittings require a gasket and bolt kit (each sold separately) to complete the connection.

Threaded Gradual On/Off Valves for Cryogenic Liquid
- Valve Type: Gate
- For Use With: Liquid Argon, Liquid Carbon Dioxide, Liquid Natural Gas, Liquid Methane, Liquid Nitrogen, Liquid Oxygen
- Packing Material: PTFE Plastic
- Specifications Met: ASME B31.3, CGA G-4.1, MSS-SP-80
Built to handle the extreme cold of liquid gases, these bronze valves are ideal for liquid carbon dioxide carbonation systems, liquid nitrogen coolant systems, and other cryogenic applications. They’ll also work with liquified natural gas and liquid oxygen. They’re cleaned and bagged to meet CGA G-4.1 for oxygen service. Also known as gate valves, they open and close gradually with multiple turns of the wheel handle to prevent sudden starts and stops.
The handle raises as these valves open and lowers as they close. At a glance, you can see if flow is on or off. The stem is isolated from what’s flowing through your line, giving these valves a longer lifespan than valves with a nonrising stem. They have a threaded union stem housing, so you can separate the stem from the housing while the valve is inline. That means you can complete maintenance tasks, such as packing the stem, without taking apart your whole setup.
