Frequently Asked Questions
What are brass flareless bulkhead unions used for?
These unions are used to connect tubes or pipes through bulkheads, decks, or panels in marine piping systems, providing a secure, leak-proof joint. They are commonly found in fuel, water, and oil lines on ships and boats.
Do these unions require special installation tools?
No, the flareless design uses a compression ring that bites into the tube when the nut is tightened. Standard wrenches are sufficient, and no flaring or soldering is required.
Can these bulkhead unions handle high-pressure applications?
Yes, brass flareless unions are manufactured to withstand high working pressures, making them suitable for hydraulic systems and high-pressure fuel lines in marine environments.
What sizes are available?
We offer these unions in a range of sizes to fit standard marine tubing, typically from 1/4 inch to 1 inch outer diameter, as well as metric sizes. Please specify your tubing size when ordering.
