Stainless Steel SU-8 – 1/2 in. Tube OD Union (SU-8)
The SU-8 is a 1/2" compression union built for clean, inline connections between stainless steel tubing in pressure-rated and sanitary environments. Precision-machined from 316 stainless steel, this fitting uses a dual-ferrule compression design to provide leak-tight performance with excellent tube alignment—even under vibration or thermal cycling.
Ideal for Clean-in-Place (CIP) systems, hygienic loops, lab setups, and OEM fluid control panels, the SU-8 delivers high-integrity sealing without the need for welding or thread sealants. It’s a drop-in fit for Swagelok® style systems and built to hold up in demanding gas, liquid, or sampling lines.
Whether you’re routing purified water, compressed gas, or chemical media, the SU-8 offers a compact, secure solution for repeatable, maintenance-friendly connections.
