A port connector is a short machined part with a tube-style end at each side. It is used to join two tube fitting bodies, such as a valve and a tee, that need to sit close together. Each end is made up with a standard nut and ferrules just like a piece of tubing, but without cutting, deburring and fitting a short tube stub, which can be awkward to do accurately at small lengths.
The reducing port connector has a different tube size on each end, so a fitting port of one size can be linked directly to a fitting of another size. This keeps compact assemblies such as manifolds, panels and analyser systems tight, and removes an extra reducer from the line.
Port connectors are stainless steel 316 and listed in imperial tube OD from 1/8" to 1" and metric tube OD from 3 mm to 38 mm. Because the parts are used inside fitting bodies, the nut and ferrules used on each end should match the fitting system they connect into. Check the spacing between the two fittings before choosing a port connector, as there is no flexibility in the joint to take up misalignment.
