High-Polish Metal Quick-Clamp Sanitary Tube Fittings
- Temperature Range: See Gaskets
The smooth finish inside these fittings makes it easy to remove product residue. Also known as aseptic and tri-clamp fittings, they connect with a gasket, a clamp, and another quick-clamp fitting for a fast and easy way to access your line. The pressure rating of the fitting will vary depending on the clamp you choose, and the temperature rating will vary based on the gasket material you choose.
Inch fittings connect to another same-size fitting and squeeze the gasket in between for a tight seal.
304 stainless steel fittings have very good corrosion resistance. 316 stainless steel fittings have excellent corrosion resistance.
3-A certified fittings comply with sanitary standards.
Note: To complete a connection, you’ll need two quick-clamp fittings, a clamp, and a gasket (all sold separately).

Yor-Lok Fittings for Stainless Steel Tubing
A nut with two sleeves (ferrules) gives these fittings extra gripping power. The sleeves bite into tubing as you tighten the nut, creating a strong seal. 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 A-Lok fittings.
316 stainless steel fittings have excellent corrosion resistance.
- For Use With: Air, Cutting Oil, Fuel Oil, Gasoline, Hydraulic Fluid, Mineral Oil, Natural Gas, Steam, Water
- Tubing: Use with welded or seamless 304/304L or 316/316L stainless steel that meets ASTM A213, ASTM A249, or ASTM A269

Use these fittings in applications ranging from semiconductor manufacturing to satellites and rockets. They resist high vibration and ultra-high vacuum while maintaining high purity. Two anti-torque rings stop the fittings from twisting your tubing or component during installation. This also prevents the fittings from loosening or leaking from high vibration, so they’re safe to use with hazardous gases. All are compatible with Swagelok® VCR fittings.
Also known as ultra-high-purity fittings, these fittings were packed in a Class 100 clean room, so they arrive without contaminants. They're also designed from inside and out to prevent the creation of contaminants. Made of stainless steel, they won’t rust. Their anti-torque rings prevent galling, which extends the life of the seal while limiting particles. A metal gasket, instead of a rubber one, also reduces the potential for particles. And their interior is polished to a 7 Ra finish—the same as a high-quality stainless steel sink—to prevent particles from clinging to the inside.
Choose from fully assembled fittings or build a custom fitting. For a complete fitting, you'll need two anti-torque rings, two adapters, a male and female nut, and a gasket.

Nickel gaskets are softer than stainless steel gaskets, so they won’t wear down sealing surfaces as much, and they’re easier to tighten. However, they don’t withstand temperatures as high. They’re reactive to carbon monoxide and ozone, so they shouldn’t be used with those chemicals.
Stainless steel gaskets are a more universal gasket material than nickel gaskets. They’re also stronger and better at handling high temperatures. You can use them with carbon monoxide and ozone. However, they’re harder to tighten than nickel gaskets, and they’ll wear down sealing surfaces more quickly.
