These nuts are for use with all standard Valco internal fittings and most valves. They also may be used with fittings from other manufacturers. The medium and long types are ideal for metal Valco and Cheminert® valves with more than 8 ports, or where the fitting head may be otherwise inaccessible.

They are sized for use with 1/32", 1/16", and 1/8" OD tubing, and are available in different lengths.

TECH TIP

Using nuts with different lengths will create more space for easier wrench access.

  • Ultra-high pressure
  • For 1 mm, 2 mm, and 3 mm OD tubing
  • Type 303 stainless steel

Use a plug to close off an unused port in a valve, manifold, or HPLC column. The standard stainless plug consists of a zero-volume nut with a ferrule made from a piece of solid rod.


Use a cap to close off a tube that already has a ferrule and internal nut. A cap is essentially a piece of hex stock with a zero-volume fitting detail machined into it, minus the through-hole.
