Brass Compression Fittings for Specified Tube Connections

Compression Fittings

Brass compression fittings connect compatible tubing using a nut and compression ring or ferrule. Select the complete fitting for the tube outside diameter, wall thickness, hardness, fluid and operating conditions. Compression joints and flare joints use different sealing arrangements. Matching nominal sizes or a similar appearance does not establish compatibility between fitting brands.

Key Specifications

Materials:

BS 2874/2872 Brass

Size Range:

2mm to 2" (25 sizes)

Finishes:

Natural, Chrome, Nickel

Select the complete fitting system

Use the body, nut and ferrules specified for the same fitting design. Do not mix Parker, Legris, Swagelok or other manufacturers’ components on the assumption that they are interchangeable. Confirm any proposed connection with the relevant manufacturer’s written instructions.

Tube size and connection threads

Specify the actual tube outside diameter, wall thickness and material. Metric tube sizes and inch tube sizes are separate series. For a threaded adapter, state the full thread designation and sealing arrangement: NPT, BSP taper and BSP parallel are distinct connections. Parallel threads generally need a separate seal; matching thread diameter alone is insufficient.

Pressure, temperature and fluid suitability

The allowable duty depends on the complete assembly, tubing, seals, installation and service conditions. Request the model-specific pressure-temperature rating and any required test documentation. Confirm the brass grade and applicable product approvals for potable water, gas or other regulated service.

Installation and inspection

Prepare the tube and assemble the fitting according to the selected design’s instructions. Use the prescribed insertion depth and tightening method; do not apply a generic torque or number of turns across all fitting types. Test the completed installation using the applicable procedure.

Information for a quotation

Provide a drawing or fitting configuration, tube details, thread designation, quantity, service fluid, pressure, temperature and finish. Material certification and inspection requirements should be agreed with the order.

Frequently Asked Questions – Brass Compression Fittings

What is Brass Compression Fittings?

Brass Compression Fittings is a pipe or tube fitting used in plumbing, process and instrumentation systems. Final suitability depends on the approved specification and application conditions.

Where is Brass Compression Fittings commonly used?

Typical applications include plumbing, process and instrumentation systems. Confirm load, environment, mating parts and applicable standards before selection.

Which materials are available for Brass Compression Fittings?

Specify brass, stainless steel or another compatible alloy. State the exact grade because similar commercial alloys can differ in composition and performance.

Which sizes can be supplied for Brass Compression Fittings?

Standard and custom sizes can be reviewed from pipe or tube size, thread, seal type and pressure class. Nominal size alone may not define compatibility.

What dimensions are required to order Brass Compression Fittings?

Provide pipe or tube size, thread, seal type and pressure class, with units, tolerances and drawing revision.

Can Brass Compression Fittings be made to a custom drawing?

Yes. Custom geometry, threads, tolerances and features can be assessed from a dimensioned drawing or approved sample.

Which thread standards are available for Brass Compression Fittings?

Relevant Metric, BSP, BSPT, NPT, NPTF, PG, BA or BSW threads may be considered. Specify form, size, pitch, class and engagement length.

Which finishes are offered for Brass Compression Fittings?

Options may include natural, plated, polished or passivated. Specify coating type, thickness, appearance and corrosion or conductivity needs.

What tolerances can be maintained on Brass Compression Fittings?

Tolerance depends on material, size, geometry and process. Mark critical dimensions and fits clearly on the drawing.

How should Brass Compression Fittings be installed?

Check mating dimensions, orientation, sealing or retention method and specified tightening torque before use.

How is Brass Compression Fittings inspected?

Inspection can cover material identity, critical dimensions, threads, finish and drawing-specific functional checks.

Which quality documents are available for Brass Compression Fittings?

Material certificates, dimensional reports and coating or test records can be agreed at quotation stage.

Are samples available for Brass Compression Fittings?

Prototype or pre-production samples can be reviewed for new custom parts, subject to tooling and material requirements.

What are the MOQ and lead time for Brass Compression Fittings?

Minimum quantity and lead time vary with material, size, tooling, finish, inspection and order volume.

What is needed for a Brass Compression Fittings quotation?

Provide the drawing or specification, material, dimensions, tolerances, finish, quantity, inspection, packing and destination.
