Stainless Steel Tubing for Corrosive Gases
- Temperature Range: -340° to 800° F
- Bending Method: Tube Bender
- Compatible Tube Fittings: Compression
A thin layer of silicon on the interior provides a smooth surface and offers protection against corrosive gases.
Seamless tubing is smoother and stronger than welded tubing and can be flared without splitting. Welded tubing is more economical than seamless tubing; it has a smoothed weld bead on the inside to reduce particle buildup.
304 stainless steel has very good corrosion resistance.
316 stainless steel offers excellent corrosion resistance.

Miniature Stainless Steel Tubing for Corrosive Gases
- Temperature Range: -340° to 800° F
- Bending Method: Tube Bender
- Compatible Tube Fittings: Compression
A thin layer of silicon on the interior provides a smooth surface and offers protection against corrosive gases. Tubing has thin walls and is made to tight tolerances for use in precision applications. It is welded with a smoothed weld bead on the inside to reduce particle buildup. It also has very good corrosion resistance. To cut this tubing, you can use abrasive cutoff wheels and deburring tools (not included).

Compression Fittings for Plastic Tubing—Chemicals
- For Use With: PFA Plastic: Hydrochloric Acid, Sulfuric Acid
PTFE Plastic: Alcohol, Ammonia, Benzoic Acid, Bleach, Bromine, Coolant, Fluoboric Acid, Hydrochloric Acid, Hydrofluoric Acid, Nitric Acid, Organic Solvents, Sodium Carbonate, Sulfuric Acid - Temperature Range: PFA Plastic: 0° to 350° F
PTFE Plastic: -40° to 185° F - Tubing: PFA Plastic: Use with hard (Durometer 50D-65D) PFA or PTFE plastic
PTFE Plastic: Use with hard (Durometer 60D) PFA or PTFE plastic
A sleeve (ferrule) compresses the tubing as you tighten the nut, creating a strong seal. The nut and sleeve are included. Fittings are also known as flareless fittings. Fittings that include a gripper sleeve on the tubing create an even tighter seal.
PTFE fittings are highly resistant to most acids, alcohols, detergents, and solvents. They’re made by machining. Their nut is made of PVDF, which is resistant to halogens such as chlorine and bromine, strong acids such as hydrofluoric and nitric acids, and organic solvents.

Through-wall fittings are also known as bulkhead couplings and panel-mount couplings; they mount through your wall or panel to create an inlet or outlet.
Quick-Disconnect Couplings for Plastic and Rubber Tubing—Chemicals
- For Use With: Ammonia, Ethanol, Phosphoric Acid (70%), Sodium Carbonate
- Temperature Range: 32° to 160° F
Couplings consist of a plug and a socket (sold separately) that join with a latch, so you can frequently connect and disconnect your line. To connect, insert the plug into the socket; to disconnect, press the latch on the socket and remove the plug. Plugs and sockets are polypropylene, which has excellent chemical, impact, and abrasion resistance.
Plugs and sockets with shut-off have a valve to stop the flow when the coupling is separated so fluid won’t spill from your line.
Note: For a complete coupling, order a plug and a socket with the same coupling size.

Barbed plugs insert into tubing and secure with a clamp.

High-Pressure Nipples for Compressed Gas
Commonly used in high-pressure welding applications, these nipples connect your tank to the inlet of a pressure regulator. One side has a threaded pipe end and the other side has a rounded end that sits inside a threaded nut (sold separately) so you can make a threaded connection.
316 stainless steel nipples have excellent corrosion resistance.
