Stainless Steel Adapters

SHF and OmegaOne:

SHF was established in 2002 in Houston, TX and houses the largest inventory of stainless steel crimp fittings, adapters and double ferrule instrumentation in North America.

OmegaOne is a domestic manufacturer for stainless steel adapters and single ferrule instrumentation. OmegaOne also manufactures AMFM Braid Bands and weld fittings for the fabrication of industrial metal hose. OmegaOne is an ISO 9001 Certified manufacturing facility located in Willoughby, OH.

Stainless Steel Adapters:

Stainless steel adapters are essential components in a variety of industries, offering both functionality and durability. These fittings are used to connect hoses, pipes, and other equipment to form a complete system. Stainless steel is used in many applications and known for its resistance to corrosion, heat capabilities, and improved aesthetics over carbon steel.

What types of Stainless Steel Adapters are available?

Our adapters are available in various forms, including straights, reducers, elbows, tees, bulkheads, caps and plugs. Our adapters are made from 316 stainless steel. These adapters provide robust and reliable connections that can withstand harsh environments and demanding conditions.

Types of Stainless Steel Adapters

1. Straights: Straight adapters are used to connect two components or devices that have the same or different types of end configurations.

2. Reducers: Reducers are used to connect pipes of different diameters. They allow a gradual change in the pipe size, ensuring smooth flow transitions and minimizing turbulence.

3. Elbows: Elbows are used to change the direction of piping systems. They come in 45° and 90° degree configurations. 

4. Tees: Tees are used to connect three hoses or pipes, allowing for a branch line. These fittings are available in equal and reducing sizes, depending on the need to maintain consistent flow rates.

5. Bulkhead: Bulkhead fittings are used to create a sealed, waterproof connection between two areas or compartments, often in situations where a passage needs to be made through a wall, partition, or bulkhead (hence the name). These fittings are commonly used in marine, aerospace, and industrial applications. Their primary purpose is to allow fluid flow to pass through a barrier.

6. Caps and Plugs: These fittings are used to seal off the ends of hoses or pipes, preventing the flow of fluids or gases when a section of the pipe system is not in use.

Conclusion

Stainless steel fittings are crucial components across various industries, providing reliable and long-lasting solutions to connect and control fluid flow. These fittings are used in various types of configurations. Their strength, corrosion resistance, and durability make them a go-to choice in many critical applications.
