Flareless Compression

Flareless Compression Hydraulic Tube Fittings

Typical applications: hydraulicservice, instrumentation and chemical processing. Highly recommended for high pressure and high vibration applications.

• Connect many varieties of tubing without flaring.
• Fittings come assembled with tube nuts and ferrules.
• Fitting bodies, nuts, and sleeves are carbon steel with anti-corrosive plating.
• Use with aluminum, hard or half-hard copper, steel, stainless steel, monel, titanium and heavy wall tubing that cannot be flared.

Flareless Compression fittings connect most types of metal hydraulic tubing without needing to flare the tube ends. Ideal for heavy wall tubing and for repair situations when flaring tools are not available.

Frequently Asked Questions

What Should I do if my Compression Tube fitting is leaking?

If your Compression Tube Fitting is leaking, it could be because of dirt or grime in your threads. To fix that, try and clean the threads with an abrasive cloth and a little bit of lubricant. If that doesn’t solve your problem, then you should either replace the fitting or replace any parts that may be causing problems with other fittings. Compression Tube Fittings tend to leak more than Hydraulic Fittings and need to be replaced more often.

What is the Difference between Hydraulic and Compression Tube Fittings?

Hydraulic fittings and Compression Tube fittings are used in plumbing systems to connect pipes of different diameters together. The most common type is the Compression Union Fitting, which has a threaded connection on each side. Compression fittings require no tools for installation and can be tightened with just your hands.

Hydraulic fittings use a rubber gasket that seals around the pipe when pressure is applied by tightening one end of the pipe while pushing the other end into it. This style is more expensive than compression fittings but offers better leak protection and less chance for contamination. This is because there's no need for threading steel bolts through metal parts that could break off inside your system over time.

What are Compression or Flareless Tube Fittings?

Compression Tube fittings or Flareless Compression Fittings are a type of pipe fitting used in plumbing and mechanical systems. These fittings can be used to connect copper pipes, PVC or steel pipes. In addition, they can also be used for compression joints or couplings to join two lengths of pipe together.

A compression tube fitting is a pipe joint that uses a screw thread to compress the two ends together. Compression tube fittings are used in low-pressure applications. They are commonly used in refrigeration, air conditioning, and plumbing systems because they can be easily disassembled.

Unlike other types of joints, compression tube fittings do not need additional sealing materials like gaskets or O-rings because they seal from the threads alone. Compression Tube Fittings also don't require special tools or equipment for installation. These types of pipes can be installed using a crescent wrench, which is useful if you're working in a tight space where other wrenches won’t fit.

Compression tube fittings consist of two main components: the coupling nut and the compression ring. The nut is threaded onto a pipe or tube to be joined together with another pipe or tube at the desired angle, which is then tightened by hand. The compression ring is placed over the end of one pipe that has been inserted into the other end. It's tightened until it reaches its maximum capacity without being able to tighten any further.

At DHH, Flareless Compression Tube Fittings come in either Steel, Brass, or Stainless Steel depending on your use or application.
