Value Collection SS-FF-FT2 Compression Front Ferrule 1/8 in

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION SS-FF-FT2 is a stainless steel compression tube front ferrule designed for use in compression fitting assemblies. This front ferrule seats against the fitting body and creates a gas-tight, leak-resistant seal when the compression nut is tightened, cold-working the ferrule into the tube wall. Manufactured from 316 stainless steel to material grade specifications, it meets multiple ASTM and DIN standards for corrosion resistance and material integrity. The overall length is 0.1201 inches (3.05 mm), and the compatible tube outside diameter is 1/8 inch. Plumbers, pipefitters, and instrumentation technicians install this component in compressed gas, hydraulic, and fluid instrumentation lines.

This front ferrule is used in compression tube fitting assemblies across industrial instrumentation, process piping, pneumatic control systems, and analytical equipment applications. It is sized for 1/8 inch tube OD connections and uses a 5/16-20 UNF thread standard, making it appropriate for high-purity and corrosion-resistant service where 316 stainless steel is specified. Typical installation environments include chemical processing, oil and gas instrumentation, laboratory gas lines, and HVAC control tubing systems requiring reliable, vibration-resistant tube connections.

Key Features

• 316 stainless steel construction meets ASTM A182, A213, A269, A276, A479, DIN EN10122-5, and DIN EN10272 standards
• 1/8 inch tube OD sizing for small-bore compression fitting assemblies
• 5/16-20 UNF thread standard for precise mating with compatible compression fitting bodies
• Overall length of 0.1201 inches (3.05 mm) for compact, low-profile installations
• Cold-work sealing mechanism provides a leak-resistant, vibration-resistant tube joint without solder or thread sealant

Compatibility

Referenced Swagelok equivalent part number SS-203-1. Designed as an OEM-style replacement front ferrule for 1/8 inch tube OD compression fitting systems using 5/16-20 UNF thread bodies.

Installation Notes

Compression ferrules are installed by licensed pipefitters or instrumentation technicians. Before servicing any compression fitting, isolate and depressurize the line and verify the system is de-energized per applicable lockout/tagout procedures. Do not reuse a compression ferrule that has already been fully swaged onto tubing, as re-swaging a used ferrule will not produce a reliable seal. Installations in gas service should be leak-tested per applicable code requirements, including ASTM or applicable process piping standards.
