The NB-KSL® tube fitting is a mechanism used both to seal and to grip tubing. The mechanical advantage and geometry of this type of fitting produce a leak-tight assembly.
To assemble, simply insert the tube into the complete assembly until the tube bottoms out against the shoulder of the fitting body (1). The two ferrules are driven forward between the nut (4) and the fitting body by the mechanical force created when rotating the nut clockwise. The back ferrule (3) is driven against the tapered rear of the front ferrule (2), and the front ferrule is forced into the tapered mouth of the body.
The rear ferrule is swaged radially inward onto the tube while the front ferrule is lifted outward to form a full-faced seal on the tapered surface of the body.
A 1-1/4 turn of the nut from the hand-tight position ensures consistent drive of the sealing members. This provides an effective seal against both high pressure and ultra-high vacuum conditions.
NB-KSL® has produced high quality tube and pipe fittings in various materials for high-pressure applications since its establishment in 2007. As a result of tremendous efforts in research and development during the last three years, NB-KSL®...
NB-KSL® fittings are supplied assembled and finger tight. Disassembly before use can allow the entry of dirt or other particles.
If you need tube fittings that resist corrosion, handle high pressure, and last decades with minimal maintenance, stainless steel tube fittings are the right choice for the vast majority of industrial, chemical, and food-grade applications....
What Stainless Steel Needle Valves Are and How They Work A needle valve controls flow through a small-bore orifice by advancing or retracting a tapered needle-shaped stem into and out of a precision-machined seat. As the handwheel or actua...
