3/8 to 10mm compression fitting

The 10mm compression end you fit on to a 10mm pipe, and the ¼" BSP thread is attached to to a female connection.

What size is 3/8 compression thread?

Tube Size	Nominal Size	Male Thread O.D.
3/16"	3/8"	3/8"
1/4"	7/16"	7/16"
5/16"	1/2"	1/2"
3/8"	9/16"	9/16"

Are there metric compression fittings?

Metric compression fittings are available in steel, stainless steel, and brass, depending upon the tubing material that is being used.

Can you reuse 3/8 compression fittings?

It can never be reused once they have been compressed. This connector is directly placed over the pipe and the nut is tightened compressing the ferrule between the pipe and the body of the fitting.

What type of thread are on a 3/8 compression fitting?

Compression 3/8 Tubing OD to UNEF Thread 9/16-24 Male Fitting Straight.

How do you size a compression fitting?

I said compression fittings are pretty easy to determine. You simply measure the outside diameter of

Is NPT the same as compression?

NPT or IPT pipe threads are tapered, Compression Fitting Threads are Parallel. Our illustration, adapted from Industrial Specialties Mfg., shows the key difference between tapered threads cut onto standard pipe fittings (NPT or IPT) and parallel-threads cut onto flare or compression fittings (IPT).

Are there metric hydraulic fittings?

We offer a full selection of Metric Hydraulic Adapters and Fittings, including BSPP, BSPT, Metric, and 30° Seat. Tompkins metric compression fittings are highly resistant to vibration and create strong, reliable, leak-free connections. They meet or exceed all SAE, ISO and DIN standards.

What is metric hydraulic fitting?

Home /Metric DIN Hydraulic Fittings. A metric DIN fitting is a compression-style fitting with a flareless bite type construction used to connect Metric tubing to fitting thread connections. They're composed of a body, ferrule, and nut.

Should you use Teflon tape on a compression fitting?

Also, do not use too much Teflon tape as this could be counterproductive and prevent the joint from sealing properly and/or causing the tape to gum up. DO NOT use Teflon tape under the compression nut or on flare threads of brass compression fittings (or a compression fitting of any other material)!

Can you overtighten a compression fitting?

Hold the compression fitting body tightly with a pair of grips and tighten the nut with a spanner. Its often said in the trade to not over tighten a compression fitting, leaving you more thread in the case of a leak and not distorting the olive or fitting. Generally a nut will need one whole turn after hand tightening.

Should you use PTFE tape on compression fittings?

Can I Use PTFE Tape on Compression Fittings? No. PTFE tape is not designed to seal compression fittings and is ineffective at doing so.

Do they make metric pipe threads?

Pipe Threads. These metric pipe thread sizes have been adopted by the ISO (International Standards Organization), and are primarily intended for pipes or tubes for screwing together or into ISO pipe ports on valves, cylinders, pumps, and other components.

What is the difference between MPT and NPT?

Definition of Pipe Thread Acronyms
NPT	National Pipe Thread (tapered)
FPT	Female Pipe Thread (interchangeable with NPT)
FIP	Female Iron Pipe (interchangeable with NPT)
MPT	Male Pipe Thread (interchangeable with NPT)

What size compression fitting do I need for 1/2 inch pipe?

Compression fittings are sized according to that outside diameter: a 1/2" OD pipe would require a 1/2" compression fitting.

How do you determine your fitting size?

Measure the Outside Diameter (OD) of your pipe or pipe fitting:

Wrap a string around the pipe.
Mark the point where the string touches together.
Use a ruler or measuring tape to find the length between the tip of the string and the mark you made (circumference)
Divide the circumference by 3.14159.

What size is a 3/8 flare fitting?

Inch size	Dash size	Female thread O.D (in)
⁵⁄₁₆	-5	¹⁵⁄₃₂
³⁄₈	-6	⁹⁄₁₆
¹⁄₂	-8	¹¹⁄₁₆
⁵⁄₈	-10	¹³⁄₁₆

How many PSI can a compression fitting hold?

Compression fittings are the perfect choice for high pressure applications. In combination with a high pressure tubing material like steel, large compression fittings can often be used at pressures in excess of 10,000 psig.

What threads are on compression fittings?

Compression fittings have straight threads and are made of brass or plastic and are often used on soft copper pipe and small-diameter tubing. The angle stop under your sink is one example of compression threads.
