What pressure are Swagelok fittings rated for?

Can you use compression fitting on brake line?
Do not use a compression fitting on your brake system. When you are on the road not only your safety but the safety of others is at risk if you have a compromised brake system. When you press your brake pedal the PSI (pounds per square inch) exerted on your brake system is great often over 1,000 PSI in normal braking.

What happens if you overtighten plumbing?
Over-tightening will also warp the rubber fittings inside the pipes over time, which can increase the risk of leaks. Turn a plumbing fitting only until you feel it tighten, then stop. Continuing to turn past that point can lead to trouble. No Stripping.
Is Swagelok stainless steel?
Swagelok offers a selection of stainless steel tubing in fractional, metric, and imperial sizes and in accordance with global specifications.
What determines the pressure rating of a compression Swagelok connection?
The pressure rating of a Swagelok tube fitting depends on the lowest rated component in the system in which it is installed. Sometimes the lowest pressure rated component is a pipe thread, a pressure gauge, or a valve.
How do you join threaded pipes together?
Before you thread a pipe and fitting together, seal the pipe threads using pipe joint compound or Teflon tape. Assemble the pipes and fittings one at a time. Make sure to tighten each as you go. If your assembly requires a union (see part one of this series), work from each end toward the union.
How do you connect two steel pipes together?
Socket Weld Instead of butting the two pieces together, one portion is inserted into the other and then welded together. This weld works best with pipes of two different diameters. Pipelines with the same diameter can also use a socket weld with fittings employed.
Can you use Swagelok fittings on plastic tubing?
When assembled correctly, Swagelok™ fittings form a leak tight seal and can be re- tightened many times. The use of plastic ferrules allows for a “non-permeant” seal which means the ferrule sets can be easily removed and reused on new tubing.
