Ham-let 3001545 Compression Tube Insert 316 Ss

Product Description

The HAM-LET 3001545 is a compression tube insert designed to reinforce soft or thin-walled tubing in compression fitting assemblies. The insert fits inside the tube end, supporting the tube wall against compression forces when the fitting nut is tightened, and preventing deformation that can cause leaks. Manufactured from 316 stainless steel with an inside diameter of 0.125 inches, it is compliant with ASTM A182, ASTM A213, ASTM A269, ASTM A276, ASTM A479, DIN EN10122-5, and DIN EN10272. Plumbers, instrumentation technicians, and mechanical contractors install this type of insert wherever tubing integrity at the fitting connection must be maintained.

This insert is suited for use in instrumentation lines, process piping, and hydraulic or pneumatic tubing systems where compression fittings connect to soft or semi-rigid tubing. End connections are Tube O.D. x Tube I.D., meaning the insert is sized to the outer and inner diameter of the tube being joined. The rated temperature range runs from -20 degrees F to 37 degrees F, making it appropriate for low-temperature service applications. It is commonly specified in industrial, commercial, and process environments where stainless steel wetted components and documented material certifications are required.

Key Features

• 316 stainless steel construction for corrosion resistance in demanding service environments
• Inside diameter of 0.125 inches for precise tube support at the fitting connection
• Tube O.D. x Tube I.D. end connection design for direct insert into tube ends
• Rated for service from -20 degrees F to 37 degrees F
• Compliant with ASTM A182, ASTM A213, ASTM A269, ASTM A276, ASTM A479, DIN EN10122-5, and DIN EN10272
• Material grade 316 with traceable certifications per listed ASTM and DIN standards

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style compression tube insert compatible with Tube O.D. x Tube I.D. compression fitting assemblies. Cross-references to Swagelok part number SS-405-2 as noted in supplier data.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by instrumentation technicians or licensed plumbers working on compression fitting systems. Before servicing any fitting, depressurize and isolate the line completely. Slide the insert fully into the tube end before seating the tube into the compression fitting body. Do not reuse compression ferrules that have already been fully swaged, as proper tube support depends on undamaged components.
