Ham-let 3600069 Compression Tube Front Ferrule

Product Description

The HAM-LET 3600069 is a brass front ferrule designed for use in compression tube fittings. The front ferrule is the primary sealing component in a two-ferrule compression assembly, biting into the outer diameter of the tubing when the fitting nut is tightened to create a leak-tight mechanical connection. Manufactured from brass and compliant with ASTM B68 and ASTM B75 standards, this ferrule is suited for instrumentation, fluid, and gas line applications where a reliable tube-to-fitting seal is required. Licensed plumbers, pipefitters, and instrumentation technicians install this type of component in both industrial and commercial settings.

This front ferrule is used in two-ferrule compression fitting assemblies on tube OD connections. It is appropriate for systems operating within a temperature range of -20 degrees C to 37 degrees C. Typical applications include instrument tubing runs, process fluid lines, and compressed gas distribution where a vibration-resistant, remakeable compression connection is needed. The Swagelok-compatible part reference is B-1013-1, indicating cross-compatibility with that fitting standard.

Key Features

• Brass construction compliant with ASTM B68 and ASTM B75 standards
• Functions as the primary sealing ferrule in two-ferrule compression assemblies
• Tube OD end connection for direct tube engagement without flaring or welding
• Rated for service from -20 degrees C to 37 degrees C
• Cross-references to Swagelok part number B-1013-1

Compatibility

Compatible with two-ferrule compression tube fitting bodies using tube OD connections. Cross-references to Swagelok part number B-1013-1 for fitting system compatibility.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by licensed pipefitters or instrumentation technicians following applicable piping and instrument codes. Always depressurize and isolate the line before disassembling or assembling compression fittings. The front ferrule must be seated correctly in the fitting body before the back ferrule and nut are installed. Do not reuse ferrules that have been fully swaged, as the deformation is permanent and a proper reseal cannot be guaranteed.
