Direct-Connect 360µm FS Tubing to 1/16" Fitting

VICI new C360IZR1 fitting connects a 360µm FS tube directly into a 1/16" fitting detail, with the bore of the FS tube precisely aligning with the bore of the valve. For proper functioning of the fitting, tubing ID and valve port diameter must be no larger than 150 microns. Larger tubing IDs will not increase the flow, since flow will be limited by the 150 micron maximum bore of the valve. Using them in valves with larger ports than 150 microns will result in damage to the valve, the fused silica tube, or both.

The main body of the fitting (the darker blue part in the illustration) is available in standard, short, and long versions, with knurled or hex head. The hex and long versions provide easier installation when space gets tight. (Ports get closer together as the number of ports increases.)

To ensure zero dead volume with this or any other fitting that seals on the end of the FS tube, the tube end must be prepped with our fused silica cutting/polishing kit, product number FS-KIT.
