Catalog Number - 45208-F-ETFE-1

The 45208‑F‑ETFE‑1 Single‑Cone Ferrule is designed for use with flangeless tubing connector nuts to create secure, leak‑free connections in low-pressure HPLC systems and fluidic applications. This ferrule is specifically sized for 1/8 inch OD polymeric tubing and is required for proper sealing in flangeless systems.

This single-cone design works by swaging (compressing) onto the tubing at a single point, providing a strong mechanical grip that prevents tubing slippage while forming a reliable seal.

Manufactured from ETFE (ethylene tetrafluoroethylene), this ferrule offers an ideal balance of mechanical strength and chemical resistance, making it well-suited for demanding analytical applications.
