Turn to Swagelok® Tube Fittings for Connections You Can Trust
Your fluid systems can't fail - and they can't leak. A leaky fitting can be expensive and dangerous. System leakage most often occurs at the point of connection in a system. These connection points are where fittings under stress can fail. Reliable fittings, then, are crucial. With Swagelok tube fittings, however, you'll have peace of mind for numerous reasons:
Leak-tight and gas-tight
Resistant to vibration fatigue
Withstand high pressures and extreme temperatures
Easy to install, disassemble, and reassemble
Quick, expert support for design, installation, and maintenance
Types of Swagelok Fittings
When you need fittings for your fluid system that can withstand corrosive environments, extreme temperatures, or high pressure turn to Swagelok. Customers from a variety of industries trust our fittings for their leak-tight integrity, ease of installation, and availability.
Discover the Swagelok tube fitting advantage and the reasons why so many customers turn to Swagelok when quality, reliability, safety, and ease of installation matter most:
Better by design. We outperform other fittings in three key areas - tube grip, gas seal, and vibration resistance.
A material difference. Our raw material includes more chromium and nickel than industry standards require.
Low cost of ownership. Fewer replacements are needed, so you'll pay less over the life of the fitting.
Services tailored to you. We offer a wide range of services from engineering to inventory management.
Tube Fitting Installation Process
Quick assembly and reassembly using only standard wrenches make our fittings easy to install. Our expert training equips your workforce with essential skills for installing fittings across all your applications.
Swagelok tube fittings 1 in./25 mm and smaller can be installed quickly, easily, and reliably with simple hand tools. Over 1 in./25 mm sizes require use of a hydraulic swaging unit to swage the ferrules onto the tubing. The tube fitting instructions below are for illustrative purposes only. For complete installation instructions, including instructions when using a hydraulic swaging unit, please reference the Gaugeable Tube Fittings and Adapter Fitters catalog on swagelok.com.
Step 1
Fully insert the tube into the fitting and against the shoulder; rotate the nut finger-tight.
Step 2
Mark the nut at the 6 o’clock position.
Step 3
While holding the fitting body steady, tighten the nut one and one-quarter turns to the 9 o’clock position.
