Bulkhead Union with Locknut

Compression Fittings are widely used in the industry to produce tube connections quickly and easily. Constructed 
of 316/316L stainless steel and utilizing double ferrules, our fittings provide reliable and leak-free performance. 
Components easily interchange with those from other manufacturers without affecting performance.

 • Double ferrule swaging system provides maximum reliability and leak-free performance
 • Extreme vibration and chemical resistance
 • Corrosion-resistant 316 stainless steel
 • Operates from vacuum to 12,000 PSI, depending on tube size
 • Temperature range: -325°F to 1200°F
 • Parts and bodies may be intermixed with those from other manufacturers without affecting performance
 • Install nut 1-1/4 turns past snug for optimal sealing pressure

Securing a fluid line through a panel or structural barrier requires a specialized solution that maintains system integrity without sacrificing stability. As a trusted industrial hose supplier, Hose and Fitting Supply provides the professional-grade hardware you need to transition lines through walls, tanks, or enclosures. The Bulkhead Union with Locknut is specifically engineered for these applications, allowing you to create a permanent, leak-proof passage that remains fixed even when subjected to intense mechanical vibration or external movement.

You can rely on this fitting to act as a bridge, connecting two pieces of tubing on opposite sides of a bulkhead while the included locknut ensures the assembly remains anchored to the mounting surface. Whether you are routing industrial hose fittings through heavy-duty equipment chassis or installing delicate stainless instrumentation fittings in a control cabinet, this component provides the mechanical strength necessary for a clean, professional installation. Its design simplifies the complexity of plumbing in tight spaces, ensuring that your hose fittings are organized and protected from abrasive contact with panel edges.

Distinctive Product Characteristics

• Enhanced Structural Anchor: The primary feature of this union is the high-strength locknut and extended threaded body, which allow you to clamp the fitting securely onto panels of varying thicknesses, preventing any axial or radial movement of the line.
• Dual-Sided Precision: These compression fittings feature identical connection points on both ends, allowing for a uniform transition that maintains the same flow rate and pressure rating across the bulkhead without the need for adapters.
• High-Pressure Capability: Engineered to match the performance of heavy-duty hydraulic hose fittings, the internal geometry is optimized to handle high-velocity fluid transfer and extreme pressure spikes common in hydraulic fittings.

Technical Profile

The characteristics of these fittings include a high tolerance for thermal expansion and a robust thread profile that resists stripping during high-torque installations. They are typically defined by their heavy-wall construction and the use of corrosion-resistant alloys, ensuring that the "pass-through" point does not become a weak link in your system. By integrating our products, you ensure your fluid systems are both functional and structurally sound. Order today.
