i-Fitting Technology
Tube fitting technology with built-in installation verification.
Verified installation, by sight and touch
Most tube fitting leaks trace back to incorrect installation. i-Fitting makes correct installation visible, audible, and tactile.
A built-in gap gauge on every fitting
- Functions as a built-in gap gauge.
- Separates at the correct compression point.
- Reduces over- and under-tightening.
- Separate gap-inspection gauge not required after completion.
Six components
A double-ferrule compression fitting with two colour-coded components for visual inspection: the identification band and the check ring.
Available across every configuration
Unions, connectors, elbows, tees, crosses, reducers, O-seal, weld and SAE/MS connectors.
Three steps to a verified connection
Installed with the same procedure as a conventional SUPERLOK fitting. The check ring signals completion.
Prepare the fitting
Body, nut, front and back ferrules, and check ring.
Insert and finger-tighten
Insert the tube to the shoulder. Rotate the nut finger-tight until the tube does not turn by hand.
Tighten until separation
Hold the body steady. Tighten the nut until the check ring separates.
