The new unique Omnifit gripper fittings for connecting laboratory tubing offer zero dead volume at pressures up to 1000psi.

They can be hand-tightened without the need for a special tool and will not compress or twist tubing if over-tightened.

They have a chemically inert PTFE washer which is press-fitted into a 316 stainless steel housing, ensuring a leak-free connection with minimum disturbance to the fluid path.

They can also be repeatedly connected and disconnected without any deterioration to the sealing face.

The gripper has a polypropylene fitting, available in ten standard international colours, and has a slotted head for easy removal.
