Ham-let 3000432 Compression Tube Connector 1/4 in Ss

Product Description

The HAM-LET 3000432 is a compression tube connector that joins 1/4 inch outside diameter tubing to a male NPT threaded port. Constructed from 316 stainless steel and meeting ASTM A269 standards, this fitting is built for applications where corrosion resistance and material integrity are critical. It provides a leak-tight mechanical connection without soldering or welding, making it suitable for instrumentation, pneumatic, and fluid system work. The connector measures 1.29 inches in overall length and weighs 0.06 pounds. Licensed plumbers and instrumentation technicians are the primary installers of this type of fitting.

This compression connector is suited for use in residential and commercial installations where 1/4 inch OD tubing must terminate at a male NPT port. Typical applications include instrument tubing runs, compressed air lines, gas sampling systems, and light hydraulic or process lines operating within the rated temperature range. The 316 stainless steel construction makes it appropriate for environments with exposure to moisture, mild chemicals, or corrosive media where carbon steel fittings would be inadequate.

Key Features

• 316 stainless steel construction meets ASTM A269 standard for corrosion resistance and material traceability
• Compression x MNPT end connections allow tool-assisted, no-solder termination to male NPT ports
• 1/4 inch outside diameter tube compatibility covers common instrumentation and pneumatic tubing sizes
• Rated from -20 degrees C to 100 degrees C for use across a broad range of operating conditions
• Compact 1.29 inch overall length suits tight installation spaces in panel or equipment enclosures

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or new-installation compression fitting for systems using 1/4 inch OD tubing with male NPT threaded ports, conforming to ASTM A269 requirements.

Installation Notes

This fitting is typically installed by licensed plumbers or instrumentation technicians. Depressurize and isolate the system completely before disassembling or connecting any fittings. Hand-tighten the compression nut onto the tube end, then use a wrench to advance the nut the additional turns specified by the fitting manufacturer for the tube material being used. Verify the connection is leak-free under system pressure before returning the line to service.
