NanoTight™ FEP Tubing Sleeve for 1/16” OD Fittings, 1.07 mm (0.042”) ID, for 1 mm OD Tubing Size, Purple, 10 per pack
Part Number: F-252X
Categories: Fittings, Fluidic Connections, NanoTight Tubing Sleeves, Tubing Sleeves
This Upchurch Scientific / IDEX Health & Science / Biotech Fluidics NanoTight Tubing Sleeve is specifically cut to a precise 1.6" length. Our sleeves are carefully manufactured using FEP fluoropolymer – a highly inert, melt-processed polymer that serves as an excellent alternative to PTFE. These sleeves are available in a light tinted color that allows easy identification of the ID. They are primarily used with NanoTight Fittings and work well with Super Flangeless Fittings. It comes in purple.
Available in the Following Configurations:
- F-252 - Single Pack
- F-252X - 10 per pack
NanoTight™ Tubing Sleeves
- Manufactured from FEP fluoropolymer
- Pressure rated to 4,000 psi (276 bar)
- Outer diameter of 1/16” — the most popular size used on most instrumentation
NanoTight Tubing Sleeves are manufactured using FEP fluoropolymer and precisely cut to a 1.6” length. A wide assortment of sleeves is available, ensuring the availability of a NanoTight sleeve for most applications. Many of the sleeves feature a light color tint that can help more easily identify the inner diameter for future orders. Because FEPn is the base polymer for these sleeves, there is a maximum recommended continuous operating temperature of 50 ºC.
These NanoTight sleeves were designed primarily for use with the NanoTight fittings and also work well with the Super Flangeless™ fittings for 1/16” OD tubing. For tubing sleeves that can be used effectively with stainless steel fittings and at higher temperatures, consider using the PEEK Tubing Sleeves.
Use 1/32” OD PEEK or FEP Sleeves to connect capillary tubing with the following:
- The F-113 Ferrule and Two-Piece Fingertight Fittings for 10-32 ports.
- The F-112 and P-416BLK MicroTight® Fittings (page 34) — 1/32” OD PEEK Tubing Sleeves only.
- The 1/32” OD MicroTight Fittings.
- The RheFlex M4 Fitting (page 61) for MX Module applications; the M-645 Valco®- Compatible Fitting
- Valco Nanovolume® valve applications
