Specifications of 3/8 OD X 1/2 NPT Brass Compression Union Tube Fitting

This brass compression union fitting signs up with 2 3/8 inch outside diameter tubes. It connects them utilizing conventional 1/2 inch National Pipeline Thread Taper (NPT) ends. This suitable gives a safe and secure, watertight seal between tubing and threaded ports. It works without needing unique tools for the tube links.

The suitable body is strong brass. Brass uses good strength and resists corrosion well. It deals with usual fluids like water, air, oil, and fuel. The material executes reliably in numerous commercial and plumbing scenarios. Brass is resilient for lasting use.

The 3/8 inch OD compression side approves conventional tubing. The compression nut and ferrule produce the seal on the tube. Tightening the nut squeezes the ferrule onto the tube. This activity creates a solid, tight link. It stops leaks successfully. The ferrule holds the tube firmly.

The 1/2 inch NPT ends feature standard tapered pipeline strings. These strings screw into matching women NPT ports. Teflon tape or pipe sealer is utilized on the strings. This guarantees a limited seal versus leaks at the threaded joint. The strings satisfy market requirements.

Installation is straightforward. Cut the tubing cleanly and squarely. Move the compression nut onto television first. Then move the brass ferrule onto television. Put the tube end fully right into the fitting body. Hand-tighten the compression nut. Finally, tighten the nut additionally with a wrench. Do this till it feels snug. Stay clear of over-tightening. Over-tightening can damage the ferrule or tube. Link the NPT ends to the threaded ports securely. Usage sealant on the strings.

This fitting creates an irreversible connection point. It allows very easy disconnection of tubes later if needed. The union design allows you separate the tubing without turning it. This is useful for upkeep or modifications. The brass building takes care of modest stress and temperature level. It provides dependable service.

Applications of 3/8 OD X 1/2 NPT Brass Compression Union Tube Fitting

This brass compression union attaches 3/8 inch outside diameter tubing to a 1/2 inch women NPT pipeline string. It joins various pipe kinds. Utilize it in several pipes and mechanical systems. It makes dependable links without needing pipe threads cut or flared. The suitable works utilizing compression seals. Slide the compression nut onto the tubing. Insert the tubes right into the fitting body. Tighten up the nut. This squeezes the brass ferrule versus the tube. It creates a strong, leak-proof seal. The other end screws straight into a 1/2 inch NPT female port. This prevails on valves, pumps, or equipment ports.

Brass material handles water, air, oils, and fuels well. It stands up to deterioration. This suitable matches reduced to medium pressure applications. It mounts rapidly. No unique tools are required past wrenches. Technicians locate it very easy to utilize. It saves time compared to soldering or threading pipe. Maintenance is easy. Loosen up the compression nut to disconnect the tube. Re-tighten to reconnect. Change the ferrule if needed after disassembly.

Discover this fitting in water lines for home appliances. It links ice manufacturers or fridges. It operates in hydronic heater signing up with copper tubing to central heating boiler valves. Use it in compressed air lines linking tubing to regulators or devices. It connects gas lines in oil burners or small engines. It fixes instrumentation lines carrying gases or liquids to gauges. It connects coolant lines in commercial equipment. Anywhere you require to transition from little tubing to a standard pipe thread, this installation is a functional option. Its integrity originates from the simple compression style. Brass construction makes certain resilience. It offers a functional link point.

5 FAQs of 3/8 OD X 1/2 NPT Brass Compression Union Tube Fitting

Product: 3/8″ OD x 1/2″ NPT Brass Compression Union Tube Fitting

FAQs:

What tubes work with this fitting?
This fitting connects standard 3/8 inch outside diameter (OD) tubing. The tubing material must be compatible. Common choices are copper, aluminum, nylon, polyethylene, or polybutylene tubing. Avoid using hard stainless steel tubing. The compression design grips the tube’s outer surface.

What pressure can it handle?
This brass fitting handles significant pressure. Its maximum working pressure rating is typically 1,000 PSI with water at room temperature. Actual pressure limits depend on the specific tubing used. Always check your tubing’s pressure rating. The rating also depends on temperature and the fluid being carried. Higher temperatures usually mean lower pressure limits.

How do I install it?
First, slide the compression nut onto the tube. Then slide the compression ferrule (brass ring) onto the tube. Insert the tube end fully into the fitting body. Make sure the tube is straight. Hand-tighten the compression nut onto the fitting body. Finally, tighten the nut about one to one-and-a-half turns more using a wrench. Do not over-tighten. Over-tightening can crush the ferrule or tube, causing leaks.

Can I reuse this fitting?
Reusing this fitting is possible but not recommended. The ferrule compresses tightly onto the tube during initial installation. This creates a permanent seal. Removing the tube often distorts the ferrule. Using the same ferrule again usually results in leaks. For best results, always use new ferrules. Reuse the nut and fitting body only with a new ferrule.

How does it seal?
The seal happens through compression. Tightening the nut squeezes the ferrule against the tube. The ferrule also presses against the fitting body. This creates a tight mechanical grip. It also forms a leak-proof seal between the ferrule, the tube, and the fitting body. No thread sealant is needed on the compression side. Apply thread sealant only to the male NPT threads.
