00:00Top 5 Compression Ferrule Sleeves for Stainless Tubing Video Script
00:04Hey everyone, welcome back to the channel.
00:07If you've ever tried to seal up a stainless tube and ended up with a slow drip running
00:11down your bench, you know how annoying a bad ferrule can be.
00:15I went through a ton of listings this week and pulled out the best deals on compression
00:19ferrule sleeves for stainless tubing, from a 14-cent union to stainless fittings with
00:23a perfect 5-star run. Let's get into it.
00:27Starting at number 1, we've got the SS304 Stainless Double Ferrule Compression Connector,
00:32and honestly, it's the one I'd grab for a real project.
00:36It takes 6, 8, 10, or 12mm tube on one end and threads straight into a male NPT port,
00:421-8 inch up to half an inch so you're not hunting down adapters.
00:45The double ferrule design bites the tube in two places, which is exactly what you want
00:50for water, air, or hydraulic lines that see pressure and vibration.
00:54It's $1.30, it's sold almost 4,800 times, and it's sitting at a perfect 5-star rating.
01:00That combination doesn't happen by accident.
01:04Number 2 is the double ferrule union connector, and this one wins purely on range.
01:09You can get it in 304 or 316 stainless, and the sizing runs from tiny 2mm tube all the way
01:15up to 25mm, with threads from 1⁄8 inch to a full inch.
01:20So whether you're plumbing a little instrument line or a bigger process run, there's a size
01:24that fits.
01:26And here's the part that got my attention, it starts at around $0.14.
01:304,700 people have bought it, it holds a 4.8, and at that price you can keep a handful
01:36of
01:36spares in the drawer without thinking twice.
01:39Number 3 is a 10-piece brass double taper ferrule set, and this is the fix-it option I keep
01:44around
01:44the shop. It covers 4, 6, 8, 10, 12, 14 and 20mm outside diameter tube, and because brass
01:51is softer than stainless, it conforms to the tube as you tighten instead of galling the
01:55surface. That makes it really forgiving on older tubing that isn't perfectly round anymore.
02:01The 10-pack is $0.23, it's moved over 4,700 sets, and it's rated 4.8.
02:08If you're doing centralized lubrication lines or just resealing an existing fitting, this
02:13is the cheapest way out of a leak.
02:15Number 4 is another brass double taper ferrule pack, 10 pieces, sized 4-14mm, and I'm including
02:22it because of the rating, 4.9 out of 5 across more than 4,000 sales.
02:27Same soft brass sealing idea, just a tighter size range for people working in the small
02:31metric sizes, which a lot of you are.
02:34It runs $1.20 for the set.
02:37If you've got a mixed box of 4, 6, 8 and 10mm tube and you're tired of ordering one size
02:42at a time, this covers your whole bench in one shot.
02:46That's the list.
