Stainless Steel Bulkhead Union – 3/8" Tube OD x Tube OD (SBHU-6)
The SBHU-6 is a stainless steel bulkhead union built to connect two 3/8" stainless steel tubes through a fixed wall or panel. Designed for reliable service in high-integrity fluid systems, this straight bulkhead fitting uses a dual-ferrule compression seal and includes panel-mount body threads for secure installation through enclosures, equipment housings, or skid walls.
Made from 316 stainless steel, the SBHU-6 offers outstanding resistance to corrosion, temperature shifts, and vibration-related fatigue—making it a go-to solution for process engineers working on instrumentation builds, pressure system assemblies, and Original Equipment Manufacturer (OEM) installations.
With no sealants required, the SBHU-6 supports clean-in-place (CIP) service and can be installed, removed, and reused without degrading sealing performance.
Key Benefits
- Bulkhead design supports secure wall or panel-mounted tube connections
- Dual compression ferrules deliver leak-tight, metal-to-metal sealing
- Made from 316 stainless steel for sanitary and industrial durability
- Easy to mount through skids, cabinets, or panel holes using included locknut
- Reusable design suitable for service or component swaps
- No sealants or adhesives required on compression side
Typical Applications
- Instrumentation walls and control enclosures
- Skid-mounted gas or fluid systems
- Original Equipment Manufacturer (OEM) panel fabrication
- Clean-in-Place (CIP) routed tubing systems
- Sanitary and industrial automation layouts
The SBHU-6 delivers the same wall-mount tube-to-tube integrity in full 316 stainless steel—at a great value.
