How to Identify and Measure Fittings
Pipe size is an industry designation, not the actual size. View information about how to measure threaded and unthreaded pipe and pipe fittings.

Brass and Bronze Unthreaded Pipe Flanges
Bolt these flanges to equipment or to another same-size, flat-surface flange with a gasket (sold separately). They have good corrosion resistance.
Cap flanges are also known as blind flanges.

- For Use With: Air, Argon, Natural Gas, Nitrogen Gas, Oil, Oxygen, Water
- Pressure Class : 150
- Specifications Met: ASME B16.24
- Pipe Nipples and Pipe: Use Schedule 40 brass
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).

- Temperature Range: 0° to 300° F
- Tubing: Use with 304/304L or 316/316L stainless steel
Fittings with gasket end connect with a stainless steel gasket (sold separately) instead of a rubber one, generating fewer particles to create a stronger high-vacuum seal. Their interior is ultra-smooth to attract fewer contaminants. These adapters are commonly used to add gases such as helium, argon, or nitrogen into high-vacuum systems. Also known as VCR fittings.

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.
