Ham-let 3501439 Compression Front Ferrule 316 Ss

Product Description

The HAM-LET 3501439 is a compression tube front ferrule manufactured from 316 stainless steel. Front ferrules are a critical sealing component in two-piece compression fittings, creating a pressure-tight connection by biting into the outer wall of the tube as the fitting nut is tightened. This ferrule is sized for tube OD connections and is designed for use in fluid and gas handling systems where corrosion resistance and leak-free performance are required. Installation is typically performed by licensed plumbers, pipefitters, or instrumentation technicians working on process, instrumentation, or utility lines.

This front ferrule is suited for residential, commercial, and light industrial applications where 316 stainless steel compression fittings are specified. It is used in conjunction with a matching back ferrule and compression fitting body to complete a tube connection. Typical applications include instrument tubing runs, chemical lines, and pneumatic or hydraulic control systems requiring a robust, reusable compression joint.

Key Features

• 316 stainless steel construction provides resistance to corrosion and elevated temperatures
• Front ferrule design for use in standard two-piece compression fitting assemblies
• Tube OD end connection for direct compression onto tubing outside diameter
• Compact, lightweight component at 0.01 pounds

Compatibility

Designed as a front ferrule replacement or spare component for standard two-piece compression tube fitting systems using tube OD connections. Confirm tube OD size and fitting series compatibility before installation.

Installation Notes

Depressurize and isolate the line completely before disassembling any compression fitting. Front ferrules are typically installed by hand-tightening the fitting nut before applying the specified number of additional turns per the fitting manufacturer's assembly instructions. Avoid over-tightening, which can distort the ferrule and compromise the seal. Follow applicable plumbing and instrumentation codes, including IPC and ASME B31.3 where required.
