Polished to a 20 Ra finish, these fittings have an extra-smooth interior that prevents product buildup and inhibits bacteria growth. Use them in pharmaceutical and bioprocessing applications. Also known as tri-clamp fittings, they connect with a clamp, a gasket, and another quick-clamp fitting for a fast and easy way to access your line. Fittings are 316 stainless steel for excellent corrosion resistance.
Fittings with barbed hose end connect flexible hose or tubing to your system. Secure with a hose clamp (sold separately).
The pressure rating of the fitting will depend on the clamp you choose.
The temperature rating of the fitting will vary depending on the gasket material you choose.
Note: To complete a connection, you’ll need two quick-clamp fittings, a clamp, and a gasket (all sold separately).

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.
Choose threaded fittings to attach directly to other fittings. Or, choose one of the following types of fittings to attach directly to tubing:
Butt-weld fittings allow for a smooth, flush connection that provides maximum flow.

Adapters with an unthreaded gasket fitting connection are also known as glands.

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.

Screw-On Hose Fittings for Air and Water
The female connector screws directly onto rubber hose without the need for a separate adapter. You’ll need a female connector (ferrule) and a male adapter (stem) with the same hose ID to make a connection. Screw the female connector onto hose, then thread the male adapter into the female connector. When assembled, the fitting compresses against the hose, forming a strong seal. Also known as reusable fittings, they can be unscrewed from the hose end and used on a new hose.
Brass fittings are softer than 303 stainless steel fittings, so they’re easier to thread together. They have good corrosion resistance.
