Swagelok developed the original two-ferrule tube fitting in 1947, and with over 200 active patents worldwide, we continue to improve our proprietary design for use in thousands of applications.
Our hinging and colleting design provides optimal performance for tube grip, gas seal, and vibration resistance.

| The unique hinging-colleting action provides more direct tube contact and gripping support. | The burnishing/polishing action creates concentrated contact for a gas-tight seal. |
In addition, a unique low-temperature carburization process produces tool steel like hardness and strength in the ferrule without sacrificing corrosion resistance or material ductility.
Swagelok tube fittings are installed using only standard tools and utilizes reasonably less torque than other competitive brands. They come fully assembled and connections can be reassembled many times.
Swagelok performs continuous, rigorous testing on thousands of samples of production tube fittings to ensure only highly reliable components. We publish the most comprehensive book of tube fitting Product Test Reports (PTRs) in the industry.
