## Overview

The Horiznext Stainless Steel Male Thread Compression Fitting (NPT1/2-1/2" O.D.) is a robust, high-performance coupling made from chemically hardened 304 stainless steel. Designed for high-pressure (up to 20,000 psi) and extreme temperature applications (-212°F to 1472°F), it features a twin ferrule compression seal for leak-proof connections without tools or sealants. Perfect for demanding industrial environments including chemical, petroleum, and medical sectors.

## Description

The Horiznext compression tube fitting is made of type 304 stainless steel, and connects tubing to threaded pipe conforming to the National Pipe Thread (NPT) standard in a straight run. This coupling is for a fixed connection between tubing and pipe made of stainless steel. A twin ferrule compression fitting connects to tubing on one end for a leak-resistant seal in high-pressure, high-vacuum, and high-vibration applications, and a male NPT connector on the other end connects to threaded pipe. This fitting is made of chemically hardened type 304 stainless steel that provides higher strength and greater corrosion resistance than untreated stainless steel. It is commonly used in chemical, petroleum, power generation, laboratory, and medical device plants. Pipe and tube fittings are components used for connecting, terminating, controlling flow, and changing the direction of piping in many different industries. Compression fittings do not require tools or sealants, and are useful in installations where a heat source, such as a soldering torch, is prohibited. When purchasing fittings, consider the application, as this will affect material type, shape, size, and required durability. Fittings are available threaded or unthreaded, in many shapes, styles, sizes, and schedules (pipe wall thickness).

Review: I had a dishwasher connection that used 1/2" copper tubing with flare fitting attaching to valve. Replace the valve with 1/2" compression and needed this fitting to cut off flare and use this fitting to make transition to use stainless steel braided hose. The 1/2" NPT threads on the fitting seemed a little tight in connecting the stainless steel braided hose. I added some food grade anti-seize thread compound to make disassembly easy later.

## Questions & Answers

**Q: My ss tubing measures 0.59" od, will this fit?**
A: No, the O.D. is too big.

**Q: Will this work with 1/2" galvanized pipe?**
A: Nope! A "1/2 inch galvanized pipe" is measured by the inside diameter. The OD (Outside Diameter) of a galvanized "1/2" inch pipe is about 0.840 inches, so NOPE! "1/2 inch" CPVC and 1/2 inch copper is about 0.625 (5/8). This is for a 0.500 (1/2) OD tube which has usually got a 7/16 ID. Like a tub chrome plated brass supply tube.

**Q: Can you use with PEX?**
A: I don't think so.
It's for copper or steel tube.

**Q: Can you use this on steel braided hose?**
A: only for metal pipe
