Valco stainless-steel ferrules for 1/32”, 1/16”, and ⅛” OD tubing are an excellent fit for all standard Valco internal fittings and most valves, or with those of most other manufacturers. These metal ferrules cut a ring near the end of the tube, preventing tube release at high pressures without significantly deforming and restricting the tube interior. (However, if the hardness of the tubing is equal to or greater than that of the ferrule, the result is more likely deformation of the tube rather than a cut ring.)

VICI Jour stainless-steel unions are for joining two pieces of 1/16" OD tubing, with a choice of four bores for easy connection of solvent lines. Unions are precision machined with a focus on the concentricity of the bore and on surface finish to ensure a completely leak-free connection.

The unions have internal threads, which we recommend for most applications. For high-performance instrumentation applications, internal threads make stronger connections and internal fitting details provide the lowest dead volume.

Two nuts and ferrules ship with each union.

VICI Jour reducing unions join 1/16" OD tubing to ⅛” OD tubing. They are precision machined with a focus on the concentricity of the bore (0.75 mm) and on surface finish to ensure a completely leak-free connection.

The unions have internal threads, which we recommend for most applications. For high-performance instrumentation use, internal threads make stronger connections and internal fitting details provide the lowest dead volume.

Two nuts and ferrules ship with each reducing union.

Specifications

For joining 1/16" and ⅛” OD tubing

Bore: 0.75 mm

Material:

Easily connect four solvent lines of 1/16” OD metal tubing with VICI Jour stainless steel crosses. They are precision machined with a focus on the concentricity of the bore and the surface finish to ensure a completely leak-free connection.

The tees and crosses have internal threads, which we recommend for most applications. For high-performance instrumentation use, internal threads make stronger connections, and internal fitting details provide the lowest dead volume.

Crosses are offered with three different bore sizes: 0.25 mm, 0.50 mm, and 0.75 mm.

Four nuts and ferrules ship with each cross
