VacuTight Fittings are designed to provide airtight, dependable connections under vacuum and low pressure conditions. Many of the VacuTight Nuts have streamlined profiles for use in systems requiring a large number of connections in a small area. Furthermore, the VacuTight Ferrule’s small size ensures sufficient nut/thread engagement, even in shallow ports. These features make VacuTight Fittings ideal for “combichem” high throughput screening, clinical diagnostic, and other automated liquid handling applications.
VacuTight Ferrules specifically designed size ensures sufficient nut/thread engagement even in shallow ports. Their unique M6 or 1/4-28 flat-bottom configuration can prevent over compression and tubing ID reduction that can occur with many fittings.
