Ham-let 3001552 Compression Tube Insert 3/8 in 316 Ss

Product Description

The HAM-LET 3001552 is a compression tube insert designed to reinforce tubing at compression fitting connections. It fits inside the tube end to prevent collapse under compression load, maintaining a leak-tight seal in instrumentation and fluid-handling systems. Constructed from 316 stainless steel and manufactured to ASTM A182, ASTM A213, ASTM A269, ASTM A276, and ASTM A479 standards, this insert is built for reliable service in corrosive and high-purity environments. It is sized for 3/8-inch tube OD and is installed by instrument fitters, pipefitters, and instrumentation technicians working on tubing assemblies.

This tube insert is used in applications where soft or thin-wall tubing requires internal support at the compression fitting interface. Common install scenarios include process instrumentation lines, control system tubing runs, and analytical sampling systems in industrial, commercial, and light process environments. The rated temperature range runs from -20 degrees F to 37 degrees F, making it suitable for near-ambient service conditions. It is typically used alongside Swagelok-style compression fittings and is cross-referenced to Swagelok part number SS-605-4.

Compatibility

Designed for use with 3/8-inch tube OD compression fittings in instrumentation and fluid-handling tubing assemblies. Cross-referenced to Swagelok part number SS-605-4 as stated in product data.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by qualified instrument fitters or pipefitters working on compression tubing systems. Before servicing any tubing connection, isolate and depressurize the line completely. Insert the tube insert fully into the tube end before seating the tube into the compression fitting body. Follow the fitting manufacturer's instructions for make-up turns and do not over-torque the fitting nut.
