Female Pipe to Valco External Adapters

female pipe to external adapter

Female pipe adapters make a minimum volume connection from the male pipe fittings typically found in gas distribution plumbing to Valco external fittings. Standard material is 300 series stainless.

Note: We do not manufacture adapters with 1/16" external fittings because they have very thin, easily distorted walls. We recommend use of female pipe to Valco internal adapters (PZAs).

TECH TIP

Because of their dead volume and the risk of thread leaks, pipe fittings are a poor choice for trrace gas analysis. Thread sealants, particularly PTFE tape, cannot boost their performance to adequate levels. For trace gas applications, choose Valco zero dead volume fittings with gold-plated stainless ferrules.
