Ham-let 3001878 Compression Tube Reducer 316 Ss

Product Description

The HAM-LET 3001878 is a compression tube reducer fitting designed to transition between a compression end connection and a tube stub. Machined from 316 stainless steel and meeting multiple ASTM and DIN standards, this reducer is built for systems where corrosion resistance and dimensional precision are required. At 1.91 inches in overall length and weighing 0.25 pounds, it is a compact, single-piece fitting suited for fluid and gas distribution lines. Licensed trades and instrumentation technicians install this type of fitting in process, industrial, and mechanical systems where reliable tube connections are critical.

This reducer is used in applications that require a step-down or adapter connection between tubing sizes or tube stub terminations. The compression-by-tube-stub end configuration makes it appropriate for instrumentation lines, process piping, and mechanical systems operating within a temperature range of -20 degrees F to 37 degrees F. It is sold in single-piece quantities and is suited for both new installations and replacement work in residential, commercial, and light industrial settings.

Key Features

• 316 stainless steel construction for corrosion resistance in demanding environments
• Compression x tube stub end connections for secure, leak-resistant assembly
• Overall length of 1.91 inches for compact inline installation
• Rated for service down to -20 degrees F minimum temperature
• Meets ASTM A182, ASTM A213, ASTM A269, ASTM A276, ASTM A479, DIN EN10122-5, and DIN EN10272 standards
• Compatible reference: Swagelok part number SS-600-R-8

Compatibility

This fitting corresponds to Swagelok part number SS-600-R-8 and is designed as an OEM-style replacement or direct alternative for compression tube reducer applications requiring 316 stainless steel construction and the listed ASTM and DIN certifications.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a qualified pipefitter or instrumentation technician familiar with compression fitting assembly. Shut off and depressurize the system fully before disassembling or installing any tube fittings. Follow applicable codes such as ASME B31.3 for process piping. Do not overtighten compression fittings, as excess force can deform the ferrule and compromise the seal.
