It accepts 1\/4-inch OD tubing and relies on a plastic compression grip rather than ferrules or solder, making it suitable for clean, leak-resistant connections in fluid handling and instrumentation lines. The fitting body is constructed from PFA (Perfluoroalkoxy) with PTFE (Polytetrafluoroethylene) components, giving it strong resistance to aggressive chemicals, high-purity process fluids, and wide temperature swings. Plumbers, instrumentation technicians, and specialty fluid system installers typically handle this fitting in process piping, laboratory, or industrial service applications.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe FTC-4 is suited for applications where chemical compatibility, cleanliness, or corrosion resistance rules out metal fittings. Typical install scenarios include high-purity fluid lines, chemical dosing systems, laboratory tubing runs, and similar process environments where PFA or PTFE wetted surfaces are specified. The plastic compression grip design allows connection without special tooling, supporting efficient field assembly or bench fabrication of tubing assemblies.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eAccepts 1\/4-inch OD tubing on both ends for a straight inline union connection\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003ePFA and PTFE construction provides broad chemical resistance and high-purity compatibility\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003ePlastic compression grip style — no ferrule crimping or soldering required\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eLightweight at 0.1 pounds, suitable for space-constrained instrument panels or enclosures\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eSingle-piece union configuration simplifies tubing layout with no additional adapters\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eCompatibility\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDesigned as an OEM-style compression union for 1\/4-inch OD tubing runs in chemical, laboratory, and high-purity fluid handling systems where PFA or PTFE wetted materials are required.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eInstallation Notes\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eInstallation is typically performed by plumbers or instrumentation technicians familiar with plastic compression fittings. Shut off all fluid supply and depressurize the line fully before disassembly or fitting installation. Ensure tubing ends are cut cleanly and squarely to achieve a proper compression seal — do not use damaged or out-of-round tubing. Follow applicable plumbing or process piping codes and the fitting manufacturer guidelines for makeup torque and pressure testing after installation.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eTechnical Specifications\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eType\u003c\/strong\u003e: Union\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eTube Outside Diameter\u003c\/strong\u003e: 1\/4 inch\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMaterial\u003c\/strong\u003e: Perfluoroalkoxy (PFA) and Polytetrafluoroethylene (PTFE)\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eGrip Type\u003c\/strong\u003e: Plastic Compression\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWeight\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0.1 pounds\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePSC Code\u003c\/strong\u003e: 4720\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eStandard Information\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBrand\u003c\/strong\u003e: PARKER\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eManufacturer Part Number\u003c\/strong\u003e: FTC-4\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"PARKER","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51542755574066,"sku":"FTC-4","price":140.65,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0270\/4519\/9983\/files\/7535feb9eb881c810f642b1211cbcab2.jpg?v=1785906380","url":"https:\/\/voomisupply.com\/products\/parker-ftc-4-compression-tube-union-1-4-in-pfa-ptfe","provider":"Voomi Supply","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
