Types of stainless steel tube fittings in process piping

Buyers searching tube fitting types usually need a map of stainless options before they open a size chart. Here is the FerruleX factory view.

Main families

  1. Compression / double ferrule — instrumentation tube, remakeable.
  2. Quick-screw / push-in — faster air and light-fluid installs.
  3. Push-to-connect — collet-style tube entry for OEM air lines.
  4. Threaded adapters & plugs — NPT / G / metric pipe ports.
  5. Weld connectors — permanent joins on process tube or pipe.
