RL Fittings

RL fittings are available in a choice of brass or stainless steel. (Please specify your choice when ordering.) They are machined from solid bar stock. They may also be specially ordered in Teflon, nylon or any machinable plastic. Brass fittings have been most popular, and a large inventory is maintained at the factory to ensure prompt shipment. All RL fittings are bakeable to 200°C (392°F). Bakeout is usually required to achieve pressures of 1 x 10-7 Torr. Assembly of RL fittings is quick and easy.

RL fittings

RL fittings are available in a choice of brass or stainless steel. (Please specify your choice when ordering.) They are machined from solid bar stock. They may also be specially ordered in Teflon, nylon or any machinable plastic. Brass fittings have been most popular, and a large inventory is maintained at the factory to ensure prompt shipment. All RL fittings are bakeable to 200°C (392°F). Bakeout is usually required to achieve pressures of 1 x 10-7 Torr. Assembly of RL fittings is quick and easy.

Assembly is accomplished by simply handtightening each fitting as it is added to the system. Some fittings may need to be brazed or soldered onto pipes or tubing to fit the demands of your system; however, no special tools are required with normal installation.

RL fittings are supplied in a large selection of sizes. The normal sizes used are: 1/8”, 3/16”, 1/4”, 3/8”, 1/2”, 5/8”, 3/4,7/8”, 1”, 1 1/8”; special sizes may be requested.

We are evaluating the types of RL fittings we manufacture. Some RL models and sizes may be discontinued, and may be available only as a special order

Guarantee

All vacuum components manufactured by Thermionics come with a guarantee of excellence, reliability and longevity. RL fittings are manufactured from the highest quality materials available and meet the highest standards of workmanship. All fittings are individually inspected and packaged clean and ready for immediate use.

There are several combinations in which RL fittings can be used—a few are described below. RL fittings have an added advantage over most other quick couplings. The nut is an integral part of the fitting and is therefore much less subject to failure under stress.
