Flangeless Tube End Fittings – Low Pressure

Cheminert flangeless tube end fittings

Flangeless 1/4-28 tube end fittings eliminate the flanging tool required with standard tube end fittings. The nut turns on the tubing as freely as with our flanged fitting, eliminating the possibility of cracking or unscrewing that can occur when plastic tubing is subjected to twisting as fittings are connected.

Cheminert flangeless fittings include our patented* collapsible ferrule design. This innovative design utilizes a one-piece ferrule engineered to collapse as it is tightened. The collapse takes place in a very narrow area, and results in a very effective seal with virtually no distortion of the tubing ID and no dead volume.

Cheminert flangeless tube end fittings

Cheminert tube end fittings work with any 1/16" or 1/8" OD polymeric tubing. CTFE nuts come in twelve different colors for system color coding. PEEK nuts are natural tan.

MORE INFORMATION

SPECS

The assembly is rated at 500 psi liquid when tightened by hand.

MATERIALS

Since only the tubing and the ferrule come into contact with the solution, the result is an inert system.

Use CTFE (Kel-F) ferrules for soft tubing (PTFE, FEP, etc.), but use PEEK ferrules for harder tubing (Tefzel, polyurethane, etc.)
