The Bulkhead Reducing Union (Fractional Tube) is a versatile instrumentation fitting designed to connect two fractional tubes of different diameters while simultaneously providing a secure pass-through for panels or enclosures. This fitting features an elongated, threaded body and a locknut that allows it to be rigidly mounted, ensuring the connection remains stable and protected from mechanical stress or vibration at the point of penetration. Utilizing a high-precision, twin-ferrule compression system on both ends, it creates a leak-proof and torque-free seal capable of handling high-pressure and vacuum applications. It is particularly valuable in complex industrial control panels and fluid distribution systems, where it simplifies layout transitions and maintains a professional, organized flow path across system boundaries.
