PRODUCT FOCUS - GENLOK Compression Fittings
Compression fittings are used extensively for chemical, oil and
gas, research and development, bio-tech and semiconductor
applications. They are used where two tubes or thin walled pipes
need to be connected, giving a gas or liquid tight seal. These
fittings are usually used in high purity environments or where
soldering or braising of the pipes would create a hazard.
GENLOK tube fittings consist of 4 main components: front
ferrule, back ferrule, nut and body. With superior mechanical
design, these fittings provide excellent sealing and tube-gripping
ability, that result in leak-tight tube connections and torque free
assembly. Only 1-1/4 turn (3/4 turn for tubing less than 3/16" or
4mm) is needed for installation to guarantee consistent drive of
the seal against high pressure and high vacuum conditions. GENLOK
tube fittings may also be disconnected and retightened many times
without losing their ability to form a leak tight seal.
GENLOK tube fittings are crafted with computerised automation
and strict quality control from 316 stainless steel, to withstand
high pressure, vibration, vacuum and temperature change.
Furthermore, they have been through critical environmental tests
for performance tolerances, to ensure they are of the best quailty,
provide high quality performance and meet conformance
standards.
GENLOK tube fittings are available in a range of both Imperial
and metric sizing. Tesuco maintains stock of all the commonly used
sizes and styles, as per local customer requirements.
