Converting NB to OD
Converting NB to OD
(OP)
Hi there... I have a small query... if I have a 1/2" OD A-LOK Needle valve with 1/2" OD tube either side and want to adapt this up to 3/4" NB pipe what is the best method? I have 3/4" X 1/2" NB reducing inserts elsewhere in the system but you can't get NB to OD reducing inserts.
Cheers

RE: Converting NB to OD
Unless I'm missing something, A-Lok is just the Parker tradename for their dual ferrule compression tube fittings and per their website, they do have a wide variety of dual ferrule compression fittings that transition from NPT pipe to Tubing but strangely enough, they didn't have a 1/2" Tube to 3/4" NPT pipe straight adapter listed?
anyway Parker did have a bulkhead adapter fitting listed (I'm also sure Swagelok would have this adapter as well) that would do what you want although you don't need the bulkhead functionality:

The Swagelok fitting for this is their "Straight Male Connector" part number: SS-810-1-12
RE: Converting NB to OD
Thanks for your help anyway... much appreciated.
I like the website, first time I've used it - I don't know how I posted this thread in this section though, my mistake.
