Reducing Ferrules - External

external reducing ferrule

Reducing ferrules provide an inexpensive way to connect small temporary transfer lines to valves or fittings designed for larger tubing. For long term use, we recommend our reducing unions, internal reducers (IZRs), or external reducers (EZRs), as appropriate.

External ZDV reducing ferrules are designed for use with all standard external style fittings - that is, those with a female nut and a male fitting detail. This ferrule has a slightly longer pilot than the internal version, to accommodate the longer external detail. The result is a zero dead volume fitting. A single groove indicates that the ferrule has the longer pilot and is for use in an external detail.
