Ham-let 3001554 Compression Tube Insert 1/2 in 316 Ss

Product Description

The HAM-LET 3001554 is a compression tube insert for use with compression-style tube fittings in instrumentation and fluid system applications. The insert fits inside the tube end to reinforce the wall during ferrule compression, preventing collapse and ensuring a reliable seal. Manufactured from 316 stainless steel to ASTM A182, ASTM A213, ASTM A269, ASTM A276, ASTM A479, DIN EN10122-5, and DIN EN10272 material standards, this insert is suited for demanding service environments where corrosion resistance and material traceability are required. It is sized for 1/2 inch tube outside diameter and is compatible with the corresponding tube inside diameter. Installation is performed by instrumentation fitters, process piping technicians, and industrial plumbers working on tubing runs.

This tube insert is used in process instrumentation, pneumatic control lines, hydraulic tubing systems, and chemical distribution applications where thin-wall stainless tubing requires internal support at compression fitting connections. It is appropriate for both shop fabrication and field assembly of tubing systems in commercial and industrial settings. The operating temperature range runs from -20 degrees F to 37 degrees F as specified. The Swagelok equivalent reference part number is SS-815-6.

Compatibility

Designed for use with compression tube fittings accepting 1/2 inch tube outside diameter. The Swagelok equivalent reference for this insert is part number SS-815-6. Confirm tube wall thickness and inside diameter before installation to ensure proper fit.

Installation Notes

This insert is installed by instrumentation technicians or process piping professionals working on compression tube fitting assemblies. Before servicing any tubing connection, isolate and depressurize the line fully and verify there is no residual fluid or pressure. Insert the tube insert into the tube end fully before seating the tube into the fitting body. Follow the fitting manufacturer's assembly instructions for proper ferrule engagement and do not over-torque the fitting nut.
