Product overviewThe WEH® ultra-high pressure fittings provide a leak-free metal-to-metal connection for pipe components. The cone-and-thread design offers a simple, reliable assembly. Fittings are available individually or complete with matching connectors.
Features & Benefits- Special sealing contour for a leak-free metal-to-metal connection
- Easy conversion and replacement due to identical dimensions with cross and T pieces
- Optimized flow: fitting nominal width is larger than typical tube bore
- Two diagonally arranged mounting bores for secure fastening
- Pressure-resistant up to 10,000 bar / 150,000 psi (depending on design)
