Value Collection SS-TU-FT8 Compression Tube Union 1/2 in

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION SS-TU-FT8 is a stainless steel compression tube union designed to join two lengths of tubing in a straight-line configuration without welding or threading. Manufactured from 316 stainless steel, it accepts 1/2 inch outside diameter tubing on both ends via compression-style connections. The overall assembled length is 2.02 inches. This fitting is used in instrumentation, pneumatic, and fluid transfer lines where a leak-tight, corrosion-resistant union is required. It is typically installed by pipefitters, instrumentation technicians, and plumbers working on high-purity, industrial, or process piping systems.

This compression tube union is suited for applications requiring reliable tube-to-tube connections in corrosive or high-cleanliness environments. Common uses include process instrumentation lines, hydraulic and pneumatic tubing runs, chemical handling systems, and OEM equipment assemblies. The compression x compression end configuration allows field installation without specialized tooling. The 316 stainless steel construction makes it appropriate for both indoor and outdoor service where resistance to chlorides or harsh media is a priority.

Key Features

• 316 stainless steel construction provides corrosion resistance in demanding service environments
• Compression x compression ends accept 1/2 inch OD tubing on both sides without welding
• Overall length of 2.02 inches suits compact tubing layouts
• Thread size of 3/4-20 UNF for consistent, secure fitting engagement
• Meets multiple ASTM and DIN material and dimensional standards
• Swagelok-compatible geometry — cross-references to Swagelok part number SS-810-6

Compatibility

Compatible with 1/2 inch outside diameter tubing using standard compression-style fittings. Cross-references to Swagelok part number SS-810-6. Designed as an OEM-style replacement or direct-use fitting in instrumentation and fluid transfer systems requiring 1/2 inch OD compression tube unions.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by qualified pipefitters or instrumentation technicians. Depressurize and drain the tubing system fully before disconnecting or installing any compression fitting. Ensure tubing ends are cut square and deburred before insertion to achieve a proper ferrule seal. Follow applicable codes such as ASME B31.3 for process piping or the applicable system design specification for torque and pull-up procedures.
