Ham-let 3600051 Compression Tube Back Ferrule Brass

Product Description

The HAM-LET 3600051 is a brass compression tube back ferrule designed for use in compression-style tube fittings. The back ferrule is the rear component in a two-ferrule compression fitting assembly, working in conjunction with the front ferrule to create a leak-tight mechanical seal on tubing outside diameter (OD) connections. Manufactured from brass and meeting ASTM B68 and ASTM B75 standards, this ferrule is suited for fluid and gas handling systems where reliable tube grip and seal integrity are required. Installation is performed by licensed plumbers, pipefitters, and instrumentation technicians.

This back ferrule is intended for compression fitting assemblies in residential, commercial, and light industrial plumbing, instrumentation, and fluid distribution systems. It is used wherever tube OD connections must maintain a pressure-rated, vibration-resistant seal. The part is sold individually but carries a minimum order quantity of 5 units, making it appropriate for stocking in service vans or shop inventory. It is compatible with standard two-ferrule compression fitting bodies designed for tube OD connections.

Key Features

• Brass construction meeting ASTM B68 and ASTM B75 material standards
• Tube OD end connection for use in standard two-ferrule compression fitting assemblies
• Rated for a temperature range of -4 degrees F to 98.6 degrees F (-20 degrees C to 37 degrees C)
• Cross-reference: Swagelok part number B-204-1
• Lightweight at 0.01 pounds per unit

Compatibility

This back ferrule cross-references to Swagelok part number B-204-1 and is designed for use in standard two-ferrule compression fitting assemblies with tube OD connections. Verify tube OD size and fitting body thread before installation.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by qualified plumbers, pipefitters, or instrumentation technicians. Depressurize and drain the line before disassembling any compression fitting. Follow the fitting manufacturer's recommended assembly procedure for ferrule seating, as overtightening can deform the ferrule and compromise the seal. Applicable work should conform to IPC and relevant local plumbing codes.
