The Brennan C2403 series flareless bite union fitting is made of steel and has tube connectors. This union fitting includes a threaded connection that can be screwed or unscrewed to connect or disconnect pipes more easily than couplings, and it eliminates the need to flare the tubing or pipe by gripping the exterior of the tube or pipe when tightening the nut. It is a push-to-connect fitting that accepts the insertion of nylon, soft nylon and polyurethane tube fittings. The fitting is made of steel for its better weldability and increased rust resistance over iron. It meets Society of Automotive Engineers (SAE) standard 080101 and Military Specification 51814 for standardization.
Pipe fittings are components used for connecting, terminating, controlling flow, and changing the direction of piping in many different industries. Push-to-connect compression fittings do not require tools or sealants, and are useful in installations where a heat source, such as a soldering torch, is prohibited. When purchasing pipe fittings, consider the application, as this will affect material type, shape, size, and required durability. Fittings are available threaded or unthreaded, in many shapes, styles, sizes, and schedules (pipe wall thickness).
Brennan Industries manufactures critical flow components. The company, founded in 1953 and headquartered in Solon, OH, meets International Organization for Standardization (ISO) 9001:2008 standards and its fittings meet Society of Automotive Engineers (SAE) specifications.
