Stainless Steel Tube Nut – 1/4" Tube OD | Compression Nut for Instrumentation Fittings (SN-4)
The SN-4 is a precision-machined 1/4" tube nut engineered for use in compression fittings and sanitary-grade instrumentation systems. Made from 316 stainless steel, it offers exceptional corrosion resistance and mechanical strength, making it suitable for hygienic fluid processors, Clean-in-Place (CIP) setups, and high-pressure industrial environments.
This nut is a critical component in achieving leak-tight sealing when paired with ferrules and tube bodies, supporting precise fluid control in process skids, gas lines, and OEM panel assemblies. Its consistent performance and hygienic compatibility make it a go-to choice in regulated industries, including biotech, food and beverage, and pharmaceutical production.
Fully compatible with Swagelok® style instrumentation fittings, the SN-4 supports seamless integration in cleanroom layouts and pressure-sensitive environments where precision and durability are essential.
Key Benefits
- Seal: Provides strong mechanical grip and leak-tight compression when assembled
- Durability: Withstands high pressure, vibration, and CIP cleaning cycles
- Compatibility: Works with standard 1/4" stainless tubing and ferrule sets
- Material: 316 stainless steel supports sanitary and industrial fluid systems
- Reliability: Trusted for long-term performance in regulated environments
Typical Applications
- Instrumentation fittings and tubing assemblies
- Clean-in-Place (CIP) piping systems
- Original Equipment Manufacturer (OEM) process skids
- Hygienic fluid processors and valve manifolds
- Gas and liquid sampling systems
Looking for a Swagelok-style 1/4" tube nut? The SN-4 offers precise, hygienic-grade performance for fluid systems that demand secure sealing and long-lasting reliability.
