Tubing Connectors

(49 products)

A tube connector (also known as a tube fitting) is a mechanical component used to securely join sections of tubing together or connect tubing to other system parts—like valves, instruments, or pumps—in fluid or gas systems.

In Simple Terms:

Think of it like plumbing but for industrial systems that carry gases, liquids, or chemicals. Tube connectors ensure that everything stays sealed, safe, and leak-free—especially in high-pressure or high-purity environments.

Key Features of Tube Connectors:

Leak-Tight Seal: Prevents fluids or gases from escaping.
Compression-Based: Most use a ferrule system (small metal rings) that grip the tubing tightly when the fitting is tightened.
Reusable: Quality tube connectors can be disassembled and reassembled without damaging the tubing.
Material Options: Typically made from stainless steel (for strength and corrosion resistance), brass, or plastic depending on the application.

Common Applications:

Instrumentation and control systems
Chemical and petrochemical processing
Semiconductor manufacturing
Power plants
Labs and R&D facilities

Types of Connections:

Straight connectors (tube-to-tube, same size)
Elbows and tees (for directional changes)
Adapters (tube-to-threaded or different sizes)

Tube connectors are critical in industries where even a small leak can lead to equipment failure, contamination, or safety hazards. That's why brands like Superlok are trusted—they're designed for reliability in demanding conditions.
