Truelok offers a wide range of Face Seal (VCR® styled) and Mini Weld Fittings with average surface finish of 10 Ra and electro polished finishes of 5 Ra or less. Truelok’s metal-to-metal face seal connections are designed as leak-free components for critical applications where Ultra High Purity (UHP) conditions are required. These metal-to-metal face seal fittings provide leak-tight service from vacuum to positive pressure.

Standard fittings are constructed of 316L stainless steel, a low-carbon variant of 316 steel, which are commonly used in ultra-high vacuum systems. It is the industry preferred material for high purity fittings both to prevent material outgassing and due to its corrosion and oxidation resistant properties (common sources of trouble in vacuum systems), which also makes these UHP fittings a great choice when using exotic gases and chemicals. UHP face seal & mini weld fittings deliver outstanding performance in gas delivery systems, the instruments to certify the purity of gases and the integrity of gas delivery system in the semiconductor industry. Other materials such as VAR, AOD/VAR, VOD/VAR or VIM/VAR are available upon request.

Typical makeup assembly includes a female nut, gland, gasket, gland and male nut.
