SUPERWHOLE 12mm Equal Straight Compression Coupler Pipe Fitting Double Ferrule NEW

Product Information

Slide the compression fitting olive (brass ring) over the first length of pipe, and then lay the nut over that Compression Fittings are an easy to use heat-free system, and excellent for repairs, and in applications where ongoing maintenance is envisaged More than 75 years later, the Swagelok tube fitting, with its unique “hinging-colleting” action, remains trusted to provide lasting, leak-tight service. The grip-type design uses the “hinging and colleting” action to achieve optimal performance in three key areas: Tube Grip Some manufacturers use more than one o-ring in the base of the fitting or use a single special-shaped o-ring to grip the tubing, but in the end, they all serve the same purpose. To compress an o-ring which prevents the tube from popping out of the base of the fitting. Hard Tubing Push-In Fittings Fittings are also compatible with connecting low carbon steel, stainless steel and many types of plastic pipe including crossed linked polyethylene (PE-X) and polybutylene (PB) with size compatible outside diameters.

The traditional ways to connect copper pipes are with capillary joints that you need to solder, and brass compression joints that you tighten with an adjustable spanner. However, plastic push-fit joints are just as effective - and much simpler to use. They come with rubber O-rings for sealing, and work well with both plastic and copper pipes. Safety first Swagelok-certified trainers are available to teach courses on topics such as Tube Fitting Installation and Tube Fitting Inspection at locations and times convenient to you. Regarding the fittings, there is one more detail you need to know. Almost all of the fittings nowadays use the G1/4“ thread (12.9mm wide) and this is the industry standard for all mainstream custom loop liquid cooling manufacturers. In case you are tumbling through server solutions or some older water cooling gear, you might stumble upon G1/8“ (9mm wide) or G3/8“ (16.5mm wide) threads. But like we said, the G1/4“ is the norm and the other sizes have become very rare. So the G1/4″ label is just the thread size label, which makes sure that your liquid cooling products are compatible with each other. Place a pipe insert into the end of the pipe to be joined. Pipe inserts, typically made from plastic or steel, reinforce pipes and keep them in a fully circular shape, making connection easier. It should be noted that this only applies to plastic pipes and not copper or steel pipes as they are much stronger One of the advantages of the Swagelok tube fitting is the ease of installation which requires an effort significantly lower than most other tube, pipe, or weld fitting alternatives, reducing installer fatigue. It can be installed using standard tools and has multiple preswaging options for assembly flexibility, such as the gaugeable preswaging tool. How to Use a Gaugeable Preswaging ToolUsing a spanner, tighten the nut over the threaded head of the fitting, while holding the fitting with a pair of plumber’s grips. This pressure created by the tightening motion will press down on the olive, causing it to grip the pipe tightly. However, be careful not to exert too much pressure as this could damage the fitting or thread, making the device harder to remove or reposition

Compression fittings designed for liquid will work fine with gas but if you use optional PTFE tape, make sure it is gas grade. In addition, ensure the fittings are accessible and not hidden behind walls or under floors. Are Compression Fittings Reliable? These tried and tested compression fittings remain the preferred jointed technique for many domestic installers due to their exceptionally high quality.

The right stainless steel compression fitting for the job

All-In-One Affordable, easy to install, maintenance-free liquid cooler with class-leading performance The other, less common hard tubes can be made out of copper, brass, borosilicate glass and nowadays even carbon tubes are coming into fashion. The potential problem with these materials is that bending them is not possible or bending requires special tools. We say the „potential problem“ because skilled and more advanced users actually prefer these luxurious materials because the loop can still be connected just by using more adapter fittings and more joints. These fittings are advantageous if you’re familiar with using compression fittings. Because they’re typically used in low-pressure systems and tend not to require a user to do any soldering/welding, they’re suitable for domestic use.

The liquid cooling market provides three diameters of soft tubing that are the most common. Tubes are marked with ID and OD which stand for „Inner Diameter“ and „Outer Diameter“. There are two ways to mark the fittings, one is using metric millimeters (mm) and the other is using imperial inches (“). These three most common tubes are marked with numbers such as:The colleting region better isolates stress risers at the tube grip to resist bending, deflection, and vibration. If you are welding or adapting a system, you may want to opt for brass fittings instead. Are stainless steel compression fittings ok for domestic use? Since 1947, Swagelok has been the leader in advancing tube fitting technology used in industrial fluid system application across nearly every industry. Swagelok Founder Explains His Revolutionary Tube Fitting These compression fittings are marked with two numbers that state the inner diameter (ID) and outer diameter (OD) of the tubing that is compatible with the fitting. Both these number markings of the tubing must match with the fitting. As for the old-school barb fittings, there is only one number present, the OD of the barb, which has to match with the ID of the tubing that will be used. Thankfully, both the tubing and fitting types are standardized, so you are able to choose from 10/13, 10/16, and 12/16 sizes of soft tubing compression fittings. Choosing the right fittings and tubing is almost equally important as choosing any other component in a liquid cooling loop and usually quite confusing to beginners. First, you must decide what do you prefer because there are several sizes and types of fittings and tubing which make this subject quite broad. It’s important that you know all the possible choices of fittings because they can have a big visual impact on the finished build. 1. How to read tube and fitting measurements?
