Frequently Asked Questions
What are flareless reducing unions used for?
They are used to connect two different pipe sizes in a hydraulic or pneumatic system without the need for flaring the tube ends. This provides a secure, pressure-tight connection while simplifying piping assembly.
Can these fittings be used in seawater applications?
Yes, the 316L stainless steel construction offers excellent resistance to chloride-induced corrosion, making them ideal for seawater cooling and marine plumbing systems.
How do you install a flareless reducing union?
Simply insert the tube into the fitting, tighten the nut per torque specifications, and the compression sleeve seals onto the tube. No flaring or special tools are required.
What tube sizes are available?
We stock a wide range of reducing combinations, from 1/4" to 1" and metric equivalents, to suit most marine pipework requirements. Contact us for specific size availability.
