Value Collection SS-WDC-FT6-BW6 Compression Tube Connector

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION SS-WDC-FT6-BW6 is a stainless steel compression tube male pipe weld connector designed for use in fluid and gas line assemblies requiring a reliable, leak-resistant connection. It accepts a 3/8-inch outside diameter tube on the compression end and terminates with a male pipe weld end using a 9/16-20 UNF thread. The fitting is machined from 316-grade stainless steel, meeting multiple ASTM and DIN material and dimensional standards. Plumbers, pipefitters, and instrumentation technicians install this type of fitting in process, pneumatic, and hydraulic systems where a permanent, weld-end transition to a compression tube connection is required.

This connector is suited for both industrial and commercial applications where corrosion resistance and pressure integrity are priorities. The compression end provides a mechanical grip on the tube without welding or brazing at that joint, while the male pipe weld end is designed to be welded directly into a pipe or manifold assembly. It is a common choice in instrumentation tubing runs, chemical process lines, and fluid handling systems that specify 316 stainless steel for media compatibility.

Key Features

• 316-grade stainless steel construction for corrosion resistance in aggressive media environments
• Compression x male pipe weld end configuration allows transition from tubing to a welded pipe assembly
• 9/16-20 UNF thread standard on the male pipe weld end
• Complies with ASTM A182, ASTM A213, ASTM A269, ASTM A276, ASTM A479, DIN EN10122-5, and DIN EN10272
• Compact overall length of 1.57 inches fits tight installation spaces
• Single-piece package quantity simplifies procurement for low-volume or service needs

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or drop-in equivalent for compression tube male pipe weld connectors with a 3/8-inch tube OD and 9/16-20 UNF thread. Cross-references to Swagelok part number SS-600-1-6W.

Installation Notes

This fitting should be installed by a qualified pipefitter or instrumentation technician familiar with compression tube fittings and welding procedures. De-pressurize and isolate the line completely before removing or installing any fitting. The weld end requires proper fit-up and welding technique per applicable codes; consult ASME B31.1 or B31.3 as appropriate for the system. Do not over-tighten the compression end, as excess torque can deform the tube and compromise the seal.
