Stainless Steel Compression Fittings

Legris has used its long experience of brass compression fittings to develop a range of stainless steel compression fittings.

These stainless steel compression fittings are resistant to aggressive of corrosive environments and fluid and withstand high temperatures and pressures.  They are designed to be used at low and medium pressure and to withstand water hammer and vibration.

Assembly

The stainless steel compression fitting comprises a body, an olive and a nut.

  • Cut the tube exactly square and deburr its outer and inner edges
  • Slide the nut onto the tube, without lubricating it (the inside of the nut is silverplated)
  • Fit the olive onto the end of the tube
  • Push the tube fully home against the shoulder of the body of the fitting
  • Tighten unitl the nut is hand-tight
  • Final tightrning with a spanner causes the olive to bite into the tube

The Legris stainless steel compression assembly is now ready for use.

Technical Specification

These depend on the type and wall thickness of the tube, the type of fluid, fluid temperature and fluid conveyed together with the component materials of the fitting.

Maximum Working Pressure

80 bar. Can also be used for industrial vacuum applications.

Maximum Working Temperature

+250°C

Product Compatibility

Very extensive

Constituent Materials

Stainless Steel 316L.  It is preferable to use tubes of authentic grades which are cold drawn, seamless, hyperquenched, descaled and passivated.

Meeting the needs of Industry

  • all components are stainless steel 316L
  • resistant to aggressive and corrossive environments
  • resistant to corrosive fluids
  • withstands high temperatures and pressures

Wide Range of Working Pressures

  • low pressure
  • medium pressure
  • 80 bar maximum

Easy to Usel

  • can be assembled quickly and easily because (a) the double-taper olive bites into the tube and centres automatically; (b) low tightening torques.

Extensive and Versatile Types of Connection

  • The Legris original reduction assembly makes it possible to fit tubes ot different diameters with the same fitting body
  • Can be assembled and disassembled several times
  • Double-taper olive makes it possible to use various thickness of tube of a similar diameter and to use with different materials (stainless steel tubing, Teflon FEP 140 tubing, semi-rigid nylon tubing and polyurethane tubing)
