Swagelok Port Connectors

Swagelok Port Connectors: Reliable Tube-to-Port Connections for High-Integrity Systems

Swagelok Port Connectors from TFM are designed to connect tubing directly to instrumentation ports, valve blocks, or manifold interfaces in gas and fluid systems. Engineered with Swagelok’s industry-leading dual-ferrule compression technology, these fittings offer leak-proof, torque-free seals, ideal for maintaining pressure integrity in compact or sensitive environments.

Whether used in vacuum lines, pressure instruments, or process control panels, Swagelok Port Connectors ensure smooth, secure integration between tubing and female threaded or welded ports.

Key Features of Swagelok Port Connectors:

  • Leak-Proof, Torque-Free Seals
    The Swagelok compression end delivers consistent sealing without overtightening, ensuring optimal tube grip and longevity—even in high-vibration systems.

  • Direct Tube-to-Port Connectivity
    Designed to mate Swagelok tube ends directly to tapped ports or component inlets, minimizing the need for additional adapters or fittings.

  • Hazard and Cost Reduction
    Swagelok Port Connectors are built to eliminate leaks at transition points, reducing risk in high-pressure and hazardous media applications while lowering maintenance costs.

  • Material Options for Application-Specific Use

    • Stainless Steel Port Connectors: Ideal for gas systems, including UHV environments, cleanrooms, and chemically reactive setups.

    • Brass Port Connectors: Suitable for water systems and non-corrosive fluid applications where cost and corrosion resistance must be balanced.

  • Supports Standard Tubing Sizes
    Available for both fractional and metric tubing, with port-end configurations tailored to match popular industry manifolds, gauges, or panel systems.

Applications:

  • Connecting tubing to pressure transducers or regulators

  • Instrument panels and analytical gas delivery systems

  • Vacuum manifold access points and gas inlets

  • Coolant or utility water distribution panels

  • OEM instruments or control enclosures with integrated port threads

TFM also supplies a full suite of Swagelok-compatible fittings, including bulkhead unions, elbows, male/female NPT adapters, and valves, giving engineers and system designers the flexibility to construct high-performance, leak-free fluid and gas pathways.

FAQ

Tube fittings are designed for tubes (measured by outside diameter and wall thickness) used in high-pressure and instrumentation applications, whereas pipe fittings are for pipes (identified by nominal pipe size) primarily used in fluid transport.

 

Common valve types include ball valves, gate valves, check valves, butterfly valves, and globe valves. Each serves a specific function—from quick shutoff (ball/gate valves) to flow regulation (globe valves).

 

  • For tubing, measure the outside diameter; for pipes, refer to the nominal pipe size (using conversion charts if needed). Always match the valve or fitting size to your pipe’s dimensions and flow requirements.

  • Frequently used thread types include NPT (National Pipe Tapered), BSP (British Standard Pipe), and UNC, along with slip-fit options that rely on compression or fusion rather than threads.

Interchangeability depends on manufacturer specifications and certification. Always verify compatibility via manufacturer guides or certified interchangeability charts.

 

  • A coupling is a short, straight fitting used to join two pipes or tubes. It provides a secure, leak-tight connection and can sometimes serve to extend or repair piping runs.

Consider valve type, pressure and temperature ratings, material compatibility with your fluid, actuation method (manual or automatic), and maintenance requirements.

 

  • Valves regulate flow by opening, closing, or partially obstructing the pathway. Their mechanisms (such as the rotation of a ball or the linear movement of a gate) determine the speed and precision of flow control.

  • A flange is a flat, circular component used to connect pipes, valves, or other equipment. Bolted together with gaskets, flanges provide a secure, leak-proof joint that facilitates both assembly and maintenance.

  • Manual valves require physical operation via handles or levers, whereas actuated valves use mechanisms—pneumatic, electric, or hydraulic—to open and close automatically or remotely.

  • Issues include leaks caused by improper installation, over-tightening, degraded seals, material incompatibility, and fatigue from repeated cycling. Regular inspection and proper installation practices help mitigate these problems.

Regular maintenance involves periodic inspections, cleaning or replacing worn seals, ensuring proper torque during installation, and adhering to manufacturer guidelines and local plumbing codes to preserve system integrity.
