Frequently Asked Questions
What is a flareless elbow union?
A flareless elbow union is a type of pipe fitting that connects two tubes at a 90° angle using a compression ferrule system, eliminating the need to flare the tube ends. It is commonly used in high-pressure hydraulic and marine piping systems.
Are these fittings suitable for seawater applications?
Yes, our stainless steel flareless elbow unions are made from 316L stainless steel, which offers excellent resistance to chloride-induced corrosion, making them well-suited for seawater exposure in marine environments.
What tube sizes and thread types are available?
These fittings are available for tube sizes from 6 mm to 38 mm (1/4" to 1-1/2") and can be supplied with NPT, BSPT, or metric threads to meet a variety of marine piping requirements.
Do I need special tools to install flareless fittings?
Installation is simple and typically requires only standard wrenches. The bite-type ferrule grips the tube securely without flaring, reducing labor time and minimizing the risk of leakage.
