Video of how to install BioTight™ fittings
The newly introduced IDEX BioTight™ fitting system provides metal-free low-pressure connections in 1/4-28 flat-bottom port assemblies. The design with one narrow universal nut for all tubing diameters, make them especially easy to install in tight spaces. In addition, the two-component press-fit PEEK ferrules with low torque ensures that the BioTight™ fittings can be reassembled numerous times both with rigid and semi-rigid tubing materials in 1/16” or 1/8” tubing OD.
Watch the video below to learn how to correctly assemble the BioTight™ fittings and how to install them into your flow path. Or follow the steps below for initial set-up. You are most welcome to contact Biotech Fluidics for additional information regarding the BioTight™ fittings and their implementation within your fluidic system.
- Slide the fitting onto your tubing and add the black-coloured lock ring, ensuring the ridge feature faces the fitting for 1/8-inch tubing.
- Slide the ferrule tube onto your tubing.
- Place the components into your intended port, inserting the port thread into the fitting while keeping pressure on the tube.
- Tighten the nut. Continue until you feel the lock ring bottom-out in the port. It’s that simple.
