Ultra-High-Polish Gasket Fittings for Stainless Steel Tubing
- For Use With: Ammonia, Argon, Butane, Carbon Dioxide, Chloride, Fluoride, Fluorocarbon, Germane, Halide, Helium, Hydrogen, Krypton, Laser Gas, Natural Gas, Neon, Nitrogen, Oxygen, Silane, Sulfur Hexafluoride, Tungsten Hexafluoride, Xenon
- Temperature Range: -420° to 1000° F
- Tubing: Use with 316/316L stainless steel
- Compatible With: Swagelok® VCR
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.

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.

Threaded Hose Fittings for Compressed Gas
Use these fittings to connect welding hose to pressure regulators and torches. They are also known as CGA (Compressed Gas Association) fittings. Fittings are brass for good corrosion resistance.
Note: Fittings have a CGA number that corresponds to a specific type of gas. Choose a fitting with the same CGA number as your tank and other system components.

Quick-Disconnect Hose Couplings for Compressed Gas
Use these couplings to quickly link and unlink welding hoses, torches, and pressure regulators. They consist of a plug and socket that are sold together as a set of two—you’ll get one right-hand connection for oxygen and one left-hand connection for fuel gas. The connections are noninterchangeable and color coded so you can’t mix lines. The male threaded ends attach to threaded welding hose, and the female threaded ends attach to a torch or pressure regulator. To connect couplings, push the plug into the socket; the sleeve on the socket has a spring-loaded lock for gas-tight connections. To disconnect, pull back on the socket sleeve and twist to release the plug. The sockets have a shut-off valve that stops the flow when the coupling is separated so gas won’t leak from the line. The sockets also have a built-in check valve to prevent gas backflow. Couplings are also known as CGA (Compressed Gas Association) couplings. They are brass for good corrosion resistance.
Couplings with left-hand threads are identified with a notch in the nut.
Note: Couplings have a CGA number that corresponds to a specific type of gas. Make sure the CGA number of the coupling matches the CGA number of your tank and other system components.

Thread these fittings onto your testing equipment by hand for a secure connection in testing applications—no tools, tape, or sealant required. Use them with gauges and other equipment as a temporary connection. When pressure is applied, the O-ring on the outlet presses against the testing equipment, creating a tight seal.
Adapters with intermittent swivel rotate 360° until tightened for easy installation.
