Which Tube Fitting & Tube should be used with?

Basically, you can use any tube fitting from any series as long as the tube diameter is right.

*For Compression Fitting series, both the tube O.D. and tube I.D. must be applicable.

Please check the specification and characteristics of each tube fitting and tube such as fluid medium, maximum operating pressure, operating temperature range, materials of parts and so forth to select the most suitable ones for your applications.

Example: For Tube Fitting PL6-01, a tube with Φ6 mm O.D. (UB0640..., NA0640..., etc.) is suitable.

Please utilize a search feature on the product list page of PISCO website to narrow down the suitable product by specifying detailed conditions such as specifications, characteristics, and materials of parts, etc.

If the tube diameter doesn’t match, we have a reducer, which we call "Unequal Plug-in Straight" (PGJ), that can change the tube diameter to fit a tube fitting of your choice. Please contact PISCO sales office in your region for details.

Also, please keep in mind the following.

Since the flame-retardant outer cover of Anti-spatter Tube must be peeled off the tip for connection, the outer diameter (O.D.) of the inner tube, not the inner diameter (I.D.), is specified in the Model Designation.

Although the tube O.D. will be larger with the flame-retardant cover included, please select the tube fitting based on the O.D. of the inner tube.

Example: For FB0640-20, choose a tube fitting with an applicable tube O.D. of Φ6 mm (such as KC6-01).

*Be sure to peel off the outer cover when inserting the tube into the tube fitting. Otherwise, the tube may burst.
