1/2" 316 Stainless Steel Compression Union (Dual Ferrule)
SKU: P-HYD-2081
The P-HYD-2081 (Titan Fittings Model: U-8) is a high-integrity, instrumentation-grade tube fitting. It is designed to connect two lengths of 1/2-inch outer diameter (OD) fractional tubing end-to-end, creating a permanent, leak-tight seal capable of handling high pressure and temperature variations.
Construction and Connection
- Fitting Type: Union (straight connector).
- Tube Size: Designed for 1/2-inch Outer Diameter (OD) tubing.
- Material: 316L Stainless Steel (Forged or Bar Stock). This premium grade offers exceptional resistance to highly corrosive elements, including chlorides, making it ideal for chemical, petrochemical, and marine environments like a car wash.
- Connection Type: A-LOK® x A-LOK® (Dual Ferrule Compression). The dual ferrule design—which utilizes two ferrules to grip the tubing—is known for providing superior stability and helping to minimize potential leaks under vibration, temperature, and pressure fluctuations.
- Shaping: Manufactured using the Forged or Bar Stock method for high strength.
Performance and Application
- Temperature Range: Extreme range of -321°F to 1,200°F, indicating suitability for systems with wide operating conditions.
- Applications: Widely used in highly demanding industries where safety, efficiency, and leak-free performance are paramount, including:
- Car Washes (for chemical and water lines)
- Chemical and Petro-Chemical Processing
- Power Generation
- Shipbuilding (Marine)
