Value Collection SS-TN-FT16 Compression Tube Nut 1 in

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION SS-TN-FT16 is a stainless steel compression tube nut designed for use in high-integrity tubing assemblies. Rated for 1 inch tube outside diameter and a 1 FPT female NPT end connection, this nut forms the threaded compression component that draws the ferrule against the tube to create a leak-tight seal. Manufactured from 316 stainless steel to ASTM A276 and ASTM A182 material standards, it is built for corrosion resistance in demanding fluid and gas handling environments. Overall length is 1.5 inches. Licensed plumbers, pipefitters, and instrumentation technicians are the typical installers.

This tube nut is suited for instrumentation tubing, process piping, and fluid distribution systems where corrosion resistance and pressure-tight connections are required. The FNPT end connection accepts standard NPT-threaded fittings or bodies. Applications commonly include chemical process lines, hydraulic instrument tubing, and industrial gas distribution where stainless steel hardware is specified. The part meets multiple ASTM and DIN material standards, making it appropriate for both domestic and international specification projects.

Key Features

• 316 stainless steel construction meets ASTM A182, ASTM A213, ASTM A269, ASTM A276, and ASTM A479 standards
• 1 inch tube outside diameter compatibility for standard instrumentation and process tubing
• Female NPT (FNPT) end connection with NPT and UNF thread standard compliance
• Overall length of 1.5 inches for compact installation in tight spaces
• DIN EN10122-5 and DIN EN10272 compliance for international specification projects
• Swagelok-equivalent geometry referenced under Swagelok Part Number SS-1612-1

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement compression tube nut for 1 inch OD tubing systems using FNPT-threaded compression fitting bodies. Referenced as equivalent to Swagelok Part Number SS-1612-1 per supplier data.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by licensed plumbers, pipefitters, or instrumentation technicians following applicable codes including ASME B31.1 or B31.3 for pressure piping. Depressurize and isolate the tubing line completely before disassembling any compression fitting. Hand-tighten the nut onto the fitting body before applying wrench turns per the compression fitting manufacturer's assembly instructions. Do not over-torque, as over-compression of the ferrule can deform the tube and compromise the seal.
