Stainless Steel Bulkhead Union – 3/8" Tube OD x Tube OD (SBHU-6)
This 3/8″ straight bulkhead union is engineered to provide reliable tube-to-tube connections through fixed panels, walls, or equipment enclosures. Constructed from 316 stainless steel, it offers strength and corrosion resistance for use in both sanitary and industrial fluid systems. The dual-ferrule compression design ensures a vibration-resistant, leak-tight seal that eliminates the need for sealants, maintaining process cleanliness and long-term integrity.
Rated for use in high-pressure and process-critical environments, this bulkhead fitting is frequently installed in OEM skids, instrumentation cabinets, chemical processing lines, and Clean-in-Place (CIP) systems. Its precision-machined body threads allow for secure panel mounting with the included locknut, keeping tubing connections stable under demanding service conditions. By maintaining a clean, metal-to-metal seal, it supports hygienic applications where contamination must be avoided while still delivering the ruggedness needed for industrial service.
Compact yet durable, this fitting is designed for repeatable performance and easy serviceability. Can be disconnected and reassembled without compromising the ferrule seal, making it ideal for system maintenance, retrofits, or component replacement. Whether used in high-purity fluid networks or chemical distribution assemblies, it provides engineers with a versatile and dependable solution for wall-mounted routing.
