Superlok i-Fittings: Tube Fittings With Built-In Gap Gauge Technology
A Simpler, More Consistent Way to Install Tube Fittings
Proper tube fitting installation is critical for creating a secure, reliable connection in fluid and instrumentation systems. Over- or under-tightening a compression tube fitting can contribute to leaks, connection failures, and unnecessary rework. Superlok® i-Fitting technology is designed to take the guesswork out of tube fitting installation. Each i-Fitting incorporates a patented, built-in gap gauge that provides a clear indication when the fitting has reached the proper compression point.
Instead of relying solely on installer feel or using a separate gap inspection gauge, installers simply tighten the fitting until the check ring separates from the fitting body. This provides a clear indication that installation is complete.
