Newage Industries 5320644 Compression Tube Connector

Product Description

The NEWAGE INDUSTRIES 5320644 is a compression tube connector rated for 1/8 inch thread and 1/8 inch tube outside diameter. Built from Perfluoroalkoxy (PFA) and Polytetrafluoroethylene (PTFE), this fitting provides a chemically resistant, leak-tight connection in fluid and gas handling systems where corrosive media or high-purity requirements are present. The all-plastic fluoropolymer construction eliminates metal contamination risk, making it a practical choice for analytical, laboratory, chemical processing, and light industrial plumbing applications. Licensed plumbers, process technicians, and instrumentation specialists typically source this fitting for small-bore tubing runs.

This connector suits applications where 1/8 inch OD tubing must be joined with a reliable compression-style fitting. PFA and PTFE materials are well suited for systems handling aggressive chemicals, ultrapure water, or fluids requiring low extractables. Typical install scenarios include instrument tubing, chemical dosing lines, laboratory fluid circuits, and specialty HVAC or refrigeration sensing lines using small-diameter tubing. The compression design allows assembly without adhesives or solvents.

Key Features

• PFA and PTFE fluoropolymer construction for broad chemical resistance
• 1/8 inch thread size and 1/8 inch tube outside diameter for small-bore tubing
• Compression-style connection requires no adhesives or solvents
• Low extractables and non-contaminating materials for high-purity service
• Sold individually (package quantity of 1)

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style compression fitting for 1/8 inch OD tubing systems in chemical, laboratory, instrumentation, and light industrial fluid handling applications.

Installation Notes

Installation is typically performed by licensed plumbers or instrumentation technicians familiar with fluoropolymer compression fittings. Shut off all fluid or gas supply and depressurize the line before disassembly or installation. Hand-tighten the compression nut first, then apply minimal additional torque to seat the ferrule without cracking the fitting body. Avoid over-tightening fluoropolymer fittings, as PFA and PTFE are softer than metal and susceptible to thread or ferrule damage under excess force.
