Choosing Between the Right 6mm Nylon Tubes and Compression Fittings for Your Grease Line System

Tubing and fittings are some of the most critical things used in machinery maintenance and lubrication. Fat Adder has provided a number of various 6mm nylon tubes and compression fittings for quite a number of applications that are suitable for high pressure and harsh conditions in industry.

In the sequel, we describe the types of 6mm nylon tubes and compression fittings available, their technical specifications, and how they can add value to the performance of your grease line system. Be it upgrading the present setup or installing a new lubrication system, the solutions offered by Fat Adder can give optimum results.

Why 6mm Nylon Tubes for Your Grease Line System?

Nylon tubes have desirable features such as flexibility, durability, and wear resistance. For that reason, nylon tubes are being widely used in lubrication systems. Fat Adder's 6mm nylon tubes were designed for high pressure, functioning at extreme temperatures with reliability in the most hostile environments.

Key Benefits:
High-Pressure Resistance: The 6mm nylon tubes from Fat Adder ensure an operating pressure of 1,291 PSI and a burst pressure of 3,873 PSI, hence suitable for high-pressure grease distribution systems.
Operating Temperature: The operating temperature for these tubes lies within the range of -60°C to +80°C, thereby allowing versatility across various applications.
Flexibility: With a bending radius of about 40mm, these tubes are flexible and easy to handle in tight spaces, thus making the installation job easy.
Types of 6mm Nylon Tubes Available

Fat Adder has a range of 6mm nylon tubes to fit different greasing needs-from completely empty tubes to grease-pre-filled options. Let's take a look at what is in store:

PT25MGF, PT50MGF, PT100MGF: These tubes come in lengths of 25m, 50m, and 100m and are filled with grease (NLGI 0 or 2). They present a ready-to-use solution for your lubrication system.
PT25M, PT50M, PT100M, PT500M: The high-pressure tubes are delivered empty, in a range of lengths, and have the advantage of being able to customize your grease line system to fit your particular needs.
TT10M, TT100M: The transparent tube versions allow one to see easily through the tube so that they can see the movement of grease throughout the system in 10m and 100m lengths.
PT2CORE10MGF, PT2CORE100MGF, PT3CORE10MGF, PT3CORE100MGF: Two-core and three-core tubes filled with grease (NLGI 00) for high resistance to abrasion and multiple grease paths.
Technical Specifications:

Material: Semi-Rigid PA 12 HL.
Dimensions: 6mm outer diameter (OD), 3mm inner diameter (ID).
Pressure Rating: Operating pressure of 1,291 PSI, burst pressure of 3,873 PSI.
Bending Radius: Approx. 40mm.
Temperature Range: -60°C to +80°C.
Compression Fittings for 6mm Nylon Tubes

The selection of proper compression fittings is just as important as the selection of the right tubing. Fat Adder offers a wide array of both straight and 90-degree compression fittings made from materials that will suit a particular application, including but not limited to steel and stainless steel.

Straight Compression Fittings
SCF6M, SCF6MSS: M6 x 6mm tube straight compression fittings in standard and stainless steel.
SCF1/8BSP, SCF1/8BSPSS: Straight 1/8 BSP x 6mm tube compression fittings, in standard and stainless steel options.
SCF1/4BSP, SCF1/4BSPSS: Larger ones are the compression fittings for 1/4 BSP x 6mm tubes.
90-Degree Compression Fittings
CF906M, CF906MSS: The 90-degree M6 x 6mm tube compression fittings are in standard and stainless steel.
CF901/8BSP, CF901/8BSPSS: The 90-degree 1/8 BSP x 6mm tube compression fittings allow flexibility in cramped areas.
Additional Fittings and Components
C6M, C6MSS: 6mm x 6mm straight compression fitting connectors in standard and stainless steel.
TEE6M: To split grease lines, Fat Adder offers 6mm tube tees in compression fittings.
Nuts and Olives: Consequently, Fat Adder provides 6mm nuts and olives in both standard and stainless steel to ensure tight connections with the system.
Picking the Right Tubes and Fittings for Your Grease Line System

Picking the correct tubes and fitting combination will go miles in setting up a reliable grease line system. Some of the factors you will need to consider include:

Pressure Requirements: Your system's operating pressure or burst pressure should fall within the materials with which the tubes and fittings are made.

Environment: When the ambient atmosphere is corrosive or generally harsh, stainless steel fittings offer heightened strength and wear resistance.
Flexibility Needs: For the applications in systems requiring navigation through tight spaces, 90-degree compression fittings and tubes with a flexible bending radius shall be applied. Conclusion: Optimize Your Lubrication System with Fat Adder's 6mm Nylon Tubes and Compression Fittings
