How to use Swagelok Adapters and Reducers

(1 1/4, 1 1/2, and 2 in; and 28, 30, 32 mm, and 38 mm) These adapters and reducers are furnished with preswaged nuts and ferrules. This feature adds the benefits of increased reliability and safety to the already versatile adapter line.

For male and female elbows, or connections to SAE/MS straight thread ports, use union elbow with male, female or straight thread adapter as shown.

Adapters can also be used to make male run, male branch, female run and female branch tees when used in conjunction with union tees.
Benefits are: smaller and more flexible inventories, plus improved ability to orient elbows and tees to the proper direction without thread leakage.

Port Connector Easy Installation Instructions

1. Remove nut and ferrules from the first of two Swagelok ports to be connected.

2. Slip nut (no ferrules) over machined ferrule end of port connector.

3. Insert port connector into Swagelok Port 1 and snug by hand. Tighten with wrench 1/4 turn only. For 1/16, 1/8, and 3/16 in.; and 2, 3, and 4 mm tube fittings, tighten only 1/8 turn. Subsequent connections are made by tightening slightly with a wrench after snugging the nut by hand.

4. Insert other end of port connector into Swagelok Port 2 and tighten nut 1 1/4 turns from finger-tight. For 1/16, 1/8, and 3/16 in.; and 2, 3, and 4 mm tube fittings, only 3/4 turn from finger-tight is necessary.

SAE/MS Straight Thread Positionable Elbows and Tees

1. Lubricate O-ring with a lubricant compatible with the system fluid, environment and O-ring material. (Standard O-ring material is Fluorocarbon FKM. Other O-ring materials are also available on request.)

2. Turn the fitting into the straight thread boss until the metal back-up washer contacts the face of the boss.

3. Position the fitting by backing it out (not more than one turn counter clockwise) until the Swagelok end is oriented in the proper direction.

4. Hold the wrench pad with a backup wrench and tighten the locknut until the washer is against the face of the boss.


NOTE: Positionable elbows and tees are compatible with SAE J1926, MS16142 or JIC female straight thread O-ring bosses.

Installation Instructions Swagelok tube fittings 1 in. or 25 mm and under

Swagelok tube fittings come to you completely assembled, finger-tight and are ready for immediate use. Disassembly before use is unnecessary and can result in dirt or foreign material getting into fitting and causing leaks.

Swagelok tube fittings are installed in three (3) easy steps:

Step 1
Simply insert the tubing into the Swagelok tube fitting. Make sure that the tubing rests firmly on the shoulder of the fitting and that the nut is finger-tight.

Step 2
Before tightening the Swagelok nut, scribe the nut at the 6 o’clock position.

Step 3
Hold the fitting body steady with a backup wrench and tighten the nut 1 1/4 turns. À Watch the scribe mark, make one complete revolution and continue to the 9 o’clock position.

By scribing the nut at the 6 o’clock position as it appears to you, there will be no doubt as to the starting position. When the nut is tightened 1 1/4 turns to the 9 o’clock position, you can easily see that the fitting has been properly tightened. Use of the gap inspection gage (1 1/4 turns from finger-tight) ensures sufficient pull-up.


*For 1/16, 1/8, and 3/16 in.; and 2, 3, and 4 mm size tube fittings, only 3/4 turn from finger-tight is necessary.
