Of course, fittings are standard items used to connect the components together, using tubing as the flow path bridge between components. Yet, one of the most commonly-asked questions regarding fittings is, “Where do all these fittings go in my system?” In other words, how do I know what to use and where? One common way to distinguish between fittings is by classifying them based on the pressure they can hold. This narrows the fittings choice based on where in the system they will be used. Learn what goes where in an HPLC system.

Chemical compatibility in your application is key. If incompatible chemicals contact a fitting in your instrument, your flow path could be compromised. There are many sources for up-to-date information regarding chemical compatibility including the manufacturer of the fittings you have chosen to use. We highly recommend you refer to one of these sources before finalizing your fittings selection.
