Catalog Number - 45216-F-PTFE-1

The 45216‑F‑PTFE‑1 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 1/16 inch OD polymeric tubing and is required for proper sealing when using flangeless fittings.

Manufactured from PTFE (polytetrafluoroethylene), this ferrule provides exceptionally low friction, excellent chemical resistance, and hydrophobic properties, making it ideal for applications requiring smooth compression and minimal interaction with analytes.
