Description

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.

Key Benefits

  • Seal: Dual-ferrule compression technology delivers consistent, leak-free sealing
  • Fit: Compact union body maintains precise tube alignment in tight layouts
  • Durability: Built to handle vibration, pressure cycling, and CIP cleaning
  • Compatibility: Works with 1/2" stainless tubing and Swagelok® style fittings
  • Material: 316 stainless steel supports hygienic, chemical, and industrial systems

Typical Applications

  • Sanitary stainless steel tubing systems
  • Clean-in-Place (CIP) and hygienic process lines
  • OEM instrumentation and panel builds
  • Gas handling, fuel delivery, and lab setups
  • Water purification and high-purity sampling systems
