Quick-Clamp High-Vacuum Fittings for Stainless Steel Tubing
- For Use With:
Fittings with Gasket End: Air, Argon, Helium, Nitrogen
All Other Fittings: Air - Specifications Met: ISO 2861
Instead of a gasket, these fittings have a metal-reinforced O-ring that is designed for high-vacuum applications, such as vacuum coating and heat treating, leak testing, and analyzing gases. Also known as KF, QF, and NW fittings, they are the most common type of connection in high-vacuum systems. Connect with a clamp and another quick-clamp fitting for fast, easy access to your line. To use fittings in pressure applications, use a pressure-rated ring (sold separately). Made of 304 stainless steel, these fittings have very good corrosion resistance.
Note: To complete a connection, you’ll need two quick-clamp fittings, a ring, and a clamp (all sold separately).

Fittings with flanged end connect to pumps, valves or gauges that have flanged connections. Also known as conflat, CF, or UHV fittings, they have a higher vacuum rating than quick-clamp fittings, so these adapters allow you to connect between different levels of vacuum within a system. A copper gasket (sold separately) creates a tight seal between the two flanges.

Fittings with claw-clamp end are often used to connect high-vacuum components with large-diameter connections, such as coating or heat-treating equipment, to components with smaller connections such as gauges, filters, or pumps. Also known as ISO-K fittings, they connect with four claw clamps and a ring (sold separately).

Quick-Connect High-Vacuum Fittings for Stainless Steel Tubing
Twist these fittings onto high-vacuum tubing to quickly make sealed, high-vacuum connections without the need for clamping, welding, or tools. To connect, insert your tubing into the fitting and twist the collar on the end of the fitting; an O-ring on the inside of the fitting compresses to form the seal. Also known as quick-disconnects, they're as easy to twist off as they are to twist on. Not for use in pressure applications.
Adapters have a quick-connect fitting on one side and a quick-clamp fitting on the other. Use them to attach and remove components for one-off uses or to adapt your quick-clamp system to connect to glass tubing. Quick-clamp fittings are also known as KF, QF, and NW fittings; they require a clamp and ring (sold separately) to complete the connection.

Quick-Clamp High-Vacuum Fittings for Aluminum Tubing
- For Use With: Air
- Specifications Met: ISO 2861
For use in high-vacuum systems, these fittings use a metal reinforced O-ring to create an airtight seal. To form a complete connection, pair two adapters with a clamp and a ring (all sold separately). Made of aluminum, these fittings are lightweight and resist corrosion. This and the airtight seal make them a good choice for vacuum coating, heat treating, or leak testing. Also known as KF, QF, and NW fittings.

Connect quick-clamp fittings in high-vacuum applications. Clamps tighten by hand. They are aluminum, which is lightweight with good corrosion resistance.
Lever clamps are also known as toggle clamps.
Clamps with lanyard let you secure the clamp to equipment.

Valves are also known as vacuum isolation valves. They connect to a vacuum system so you can install gauges, release gases, and remove air. They operate manually and have a compact body that fits easily into tight spaces.
