Its me again....
I am looking at how to insert accesories at/into Bauer 200E 8 milimeter OD pipe, such as Moisture Plug which is using 1/4" NPT female thread.
First I must explain that I am a pure dummy when it comes to fitting and threads. With metric and imperial fittings here and there, I am lost..
I am studying Swagelok fittings because as Craig explained that Bauer uses Voss fittings, which there is no Asian dealer listed in their website, let alone for my country.
So I must use Swagelok, there is a distributor in my country and so easy to find in the USA.
My question is about a fitting from Swagelok called Tube Adaptor. I can use this family of fitting to convert 8mm pipe to 1/4" pipe. Now comes the stupid questions :
01. Do I still need to use Swagelok twin ferrule on a Tube Adaptor ?
Attached is what Tube Adaptor looks like.
02. Swagelok has single ferrule and twin ferrule for anti-leak compression on their tubes fitting. I want to know if their tube fittings like Tee or elbow, are they specific to single ferrule/twin ferrule ...or...they will accept both ?
03. Is the female cavity ( its tapered right ? ) where a ferrule is compressed, are they the same shape or angle for different brand compression fittings ?
04. Assuming the threads are the same, can I use say Swagelok nut on a Voss compression fitting ?
I am asking Item 3 & 4 because if my Voss ferrule need to be replaced I want to use other brand of ferrule in emergency.
Thanks very very much guys...
