Also known as KF, QF, and NW fittings, these fittings are for high-vacuum applications, such as vacuum coating and heat treating, leak testing, and analyzing gases.

Create access points in ultra-high-vacuum lines or chambers by bolting two same-size flanges together with a copper gasket 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.

Use these fittings at pressures up to 9,700 psi. Also known as instrumentation fittings, they are made to tight tolerances for use in high-precision applications. They are compatible with Swagelok®, Let-Lok, and Parker A-Lok fittings.

Polished to at least a 15 Ra finish on the inside, these fittings have an ultra-smooth interior surface that helps prevent contamination. They are also known as ultra-high-purity fittings.
