Legris 0104 16 00 Compression Tube Union Brass

Product Description

The LEGRIS 0104 16 00 is a brass compression tube union designed to join two tube runs in fluid or pneumatic systems. It connects using a tube OD fitting on one end and a tube ID fitting on the other, creating a secure, leak-resistant joint without the need for soldering or flaring. Rated for a maximum working pressure of 580 psi and a temperature range of -40 degrees F to 250 degrees F, this union suits demanding service conditions. The brass construction resists corrosion and holds up in both wet and dry environments. Plumbers, pipefitters, and industrial maintenance technicians install this fitting in compressed air, hydraulic, and fluid distribution lines.

This compression union is suited for residential and light commercial plumbing systems, pneumatic lines, and process fluid applications where a reliable inline tube connection is required. The 16mm outside diameter sizing makes it appropriate for metric tube installations common in European-origin equipment and machinery as well as import HVAC and refrigeration systems that specify metric tubing. It is intended for use where a permanent, soldered, or welded connection is not practical or desired.

Key Features

• Operating temperature range: -40 degrees F to 250 degrees F
• 16mm tube OD connection with tube ID opposite end
• Compact profile: 3.07 inches length, 0.75 inches width
• No soldering or flaring required for installation

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement compression union for metric tube systems using 16mm outside diameter tubing in fluid, pneumatic, and light process piping applications.

Installation Notes

Installation is typically performed by a licensed plumber or pipefitter. Depressurize and isolate the system completely before removing any existing fittings or cutting into a tube run. Ensure tube ends are cut cleanly and deburred before seating into the compression fitting to prevent leaks. Follow applicable plumbing codes such as the IPC for fluid systems or applicable pneumatic safety standards for compressed air lines.
