Ferrule fittings and connectors
  • Function
    Ferrules are used to make secure connections and seals, preventing leaks or fraying. 
     
  • Components
    A ferrule fitting is made up of a nut, one or two ferrules (or compression rings), and a body. The ferrule is compressed against the tubing as the nut is tightened. 
     
  • Types:
    • Single ferrule fittingsSimpler and often used for lower-pressure applications. 
       
    • Double ferrule fittingsUse two ferrules for a more secure seal, often in high-pressure, high-vibration, and high-temperature applications. 
       
  • Applications:
    • Fluid systemsConnecting and sealing tubes in hydraulic and pneumatic systems, from low-pressure plumbing to high-pressure industrial lines. 
       
    • Electrical systemsCrimp onto the ends of wires to keep strands together, prevent fraying, and ensure a solid electrical connection. 
       
    • Other usesAs protective sleeves, or as caps on furniture legs and walking sticks.
