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.
