Ham-let 3001606 Compression Tube Union 1/4 in 316 Ss

Product Description

The HAM-LET 3001606 is a compression tube union designed to join two lengths of tubing with matching compression-style end connections on both sides. Constructed from 316 stainless steel to ASTM A182, ASTM A213, ASTM A269, ASTM A276, and ASTM A479 standards, this union delivers corrosion resistance suitable for demanding fluid and gas systems. The fitting accepts 1/4 inch outside diameter tubing and measures 1.61 inches in overall length. It is a single-piece union fitting intended for installations where a reliable, leak-tight mechanical connection is required without welding or soldering.

This fitting is used in instrumentation, pneumatic, hydraulic, and process piping systems across industrial, commercial, and mechanical trade applications. Its stainless steel construction makes it well suited for corrosive environments, including chemical handling lines, refrigeration instrumentation, compressed gas circuits, and any tubing system where material compatibility with aggressive media is a concern. Licensed plumbers, pipefitters, and instrumentation technicians are the primary installers of this component.

Key Features

• 316 stainless steel body with ASTM A182, A213, A269, A276, and A479 compliance
• Compression x compression end connections for tool-accessible, weld-free assembly
• Accepts 1/4 inch outside diameter tubing on both ends
• Overall length of 1.61 inches for compact inline installation
• Rated for service down to -20 degrees F
• DIN EN10122-5 and DIN EN10272 standard compliance for international application

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style compression union for 1/4 inch OD tubing systems. Cross-references to Swagelok part number SS-400-6 where that substitution is appropriate for the application.

Installation Notes

This fitting is typically installed by licensed pipefitters, plumbers, or instrumentation technicians working on pressurized tubing systems. Depressurize and isolate the tubing circuit fully before disassembly or installation. Follow the compression fitting manufacturer torque procedure using the appropriate tube nut and ferrule - do not over-torque, as stainless compression fittings can be sensitive to galling. Verify tubing OD tolerance and end squareness before assembly to ensure a leak-tight connection.
