Use a plug to close off an unused port in a valve, manifold, or HPLC column. The standard stainless plug consists of a zero-volume nut with a ferrule made from a piece of solid rod.

Use a cap to close off a tube that already has a ferrule and internal nut. A cap is essentially a piece of hex stock with a zero-volume fitting detail machined into it, minus the through-hole.

Easily connect four solvent lines of 1/16” OD metal tubing with VICI Jour stainless steel crosses. They are precision machined with a focus on the concentricity of the bore and the surface finish to ensure a completely leak-free connection.

The tees and crosses have internal threads, which we recommend for most applications. For high-performance instrumentation use, internal threads make stronger connections, and internal fitting details provide the lowest dead volume.

Crosses are offered with three different bore sizes: 0.25 mm, 0.50 mm, and 0.75 mm.

Four nuts and ferrules ship with each cross

VICI Jour stainless-steel unions are for joining two pieces of 1/16" OD tubing, with a choice of four bores for easy connection of solvent lines. Unions are precision machined with a focus on the concentricity of the bore and on surface finish to ensure a completely leak-free connection.

The unions have internal threads, which we recommend for most applications. For high-performance instrumentation applications, internal threads make stronger connections and internal fitting details provide the lowest dead volume.

Two nuts and ferrules ship with each union.

VICI Jour reducing unions join 1/16" OD tubing to ⅛” OD tubing. They are precision machined with a focus on the concentricity of the bore (0.75 mm) and on surface finish to ensure a completely leak-free connection.

The unions have internal threads, which we recommend for most applications. For high-performance instrumentation use, internal threads make stronger connections and internal fitting details provide the lowest dead volume.

Two nuts and ferrules ship with each reducing union.
