Ham-let 3500132 Compression Tube Front Ferrule 316 Ss

Product Description

The HAM-LET 3500132 is a compression tube front ferrule designed for use in compression tube fittings where a leak-tight, mechanically secure connection is required. Manufactured from 316 stainless steel per material grades ASTM A182, ASTM A213, ASTM A269, ASTM A276, and ASTM A479, as well as DIN EN10122-5 and DIN EN10272, this ferrule provides corrosion resistance suitable for demanding fluid and gas system applications. The front ferrule seats against the fitting body and bites into the tube outer diameter during assembly, creating the primary seal in a two-ferrule compression system. It is installed by plumbers, pipefitters, and instrumentation technicians working on tubing assemblies.

This front ferrule is suited for use in industrial, commercial, and instrumentation tubing systems where compression-style tube fittings are specified. Typical applications include process piping, instrument sensing lines, hydraulic tubing runs, and pneumatic control circuits. The part is rated for a minimum temperature of -20 degrees F and a maximum temperature of 37 degrees C, making it appropriate for ambient and moderate-temperature service in both above-ground and panel-mounted configurations. It is sold individually and is intended as a replacement or spare component for compression fitting assemblies.

Key Features

• 316 stainless steel construction for corrosion resistance in process and instrumentation environments
• Meets ASTM A182, A213, A269, A276, and A479 material standards
• Compliant with DIN EN10122-5 and DIN EN10272 international standards
• Front ferrule geometry designed to bite into tube OD for a leak-tight compression seal
• Rated from -20 degrees F minimum to 37 degrees C maximum operating temperature
• Sold as a single unit, suitable for replacement or spare-parts stocking

Compatibility

This front ferrule is listed with Swagelok part number SS-503-1 as a reference equivalent, indicating fitment in standard two-ferrule compression tube fitting assemblies using that specification. Confirm tube OD size and fitting body manufacturer requirements before installation.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by licensed pipefitters or instrumentation technicians following applicable piping codes such as ASME B31.3 for process piping. Depressurize and isolate the tubing system completely before disassembling any fitting. Follow the fitting body manufacturer's assembly procedure for ferrule seating, as over-tightening can deform the ferrule and compromise the seal. Do not reuse a ferrule that has already been fully swaged onto tubing.
