Integral Ferrule Nut/Tube Construction

Laboratory testing of PFA fittings and FEP/PFA tubing (grooved with an Entegris grooving tool) showed successful results under extreme conditions of heat and pressure. Performance reliability is dependent on the care and caution used in grooving the tube and tightening the fitting properly.

Note: The tubing used must be heavy walled (.047" to .062" wall thickness) and must meet Galtek^® tubing specifications. 1/8" uses .030" wall thickness.

"N" denotes that a ferrule nut or nuts have been assembled on the fitting body.

The size and type of fitting connections is denoted. If it is a tube to pipe connector, the number preceding the dash denotes the tube connection size and the number following the dash denotes the pipe thread size. (i.e., 4 = 4/16" or 1/4", 6m = 6 mm)

Letter or combination of letters denotes the fitting style.
