Ham-let 3600063 Compression Front Ferrule Brass

Product Description

The HAM-LET 3600063 is a brass front ferrule designed for use in compression tube fittings. In a compression assembly, the front ferrule seats against the fitting body and creates the primary seal on the outer diameter of the tubing when the compression nut is tightened. This component is manufactured to ASTM B68 and ASTM B75 standards for seamless copper and copper-alloy tube, ensuring material consistency and dimensional reliability. It is installed by plumbers, HVAC technicians, instrumentation fitters, and industrial piping tradespeople working with compression-style tube connections.

This front ferrule is suited for compression tube fittings used in fluid and gas line assemblies across residential, commercial, and light industrial applications. It connects to tube by outer diameter, making it compatible with standard compression fitting configurations. The rated temperature range runs from -4 degrees F to 98.6 degrees F, appropriate for many liquid and low-pressure gas service lines. Sold individually, with a minimum order quantity of 5 units.

Cross-references to Swagelok part number B-203-1. Designed as an OEM-style replacement front ferrule for standard compression tube fitting systems using tube OD connections.

Installation Notes

Front ferrules are installed by licensed plumbers or qualified instrumentation and piping technicians. Shut off and depressurize the line before disassembling any compression fitting. Do not over-tighten the compression nut - follow the fitting manufacturer's assembly instructions for proper ferrule bite depth, as excess torque can deform the ferrule or tubing. Verify tube OD dimensions and fitting body compatibility before installation.
