FAQ

Can this fitting be used with plastic tubing?

Yes, the fitting can connect to compatible plastic tubing as long as the tube outer diameter matches the 3/8″ specification and the connection is properly tightened.

Is the fitting reusable after disassembly?

Absolutely. The double ferrule system is designed for repeatable installation, allowing you to remove and reinstall the fitting without damaging the components, provided the ferrules are kept clean.

What pressure rating does this fitting support?

The stainless steel construction and double ferrule seal enable the fitting to handle typical industrial hydraulic pressures up to 300 psi, though exact limits depend on the overall system design.

Do I need any special tools to install this fitting?

No special tools are required. A standard wrench or socket that fits the 1/2 NPT male thread is sufficient to tighten the fitting securely.

How does the double ferrule reduce the risk of leakage?

The dual ferrule arrangement distributes pressure evenly across the tube wall, creating a tighter seal and minimizing gaps that could lead to leaks, especially under fluctuating pressure conditions.
