These fittings have two sleeves for extra gripping power. They bite into steel tubing as you tighten the nut to form a strong seal.

Thicker walls make these fittings—sometimes called flareless or bite fittings—withstand about twice as much pressure as standard compression fittings, so they’re good for hydraulic power applications.

Use these fittings in an air vacuum system to avoid the hassle of brazing and welding. Insert two fittings into a clamp and tighten to form a secure seal in steel tubing.
