The key advantage of the SPOC series. The internal hexagon socket allows for quick and easy installation from the top with an Allen key, eliminating the need for side clearance for a wrench.

Ideal for Manifold Mounting:

This space-saving fitting can be mounted flush against other components, enabling a much more compact and cleaner machine layout.

Premium Stainless Steel Construction:

Available in both 304 and 316 stainless steel, these fittings offer exceptional resistance to corrosion, chemicals, and high temperatures.

Comprehensive Size & Thread Options:

We stock a full range of sizes to fit any system.

Tube OD (Metric): 4mm, 6mm, 8mm, 10mm, 12mm, 14mm, 16mm

Tube OD (Inch): 5/32", 1/4", 5/16", 3/8", 1/2"

Application Fields

The Solution for Compact Connections:

Valve Manifolds & Islands: Perfect for connecting tubing to valve banks where ports are closely spaced.

Compact Machinery: An essential component for any machine designer looking to minimize the physical footprint.

Robotics & Automation: Ideal for connecting lines in complex, space-constrained robotic arms and end-effectors.

Food & Beverage Equipment: A hygienic and space-saving connection for processing and packaging machinery.

Technical & Selection Guide

When to Choose an SPOC (Internal Hex) vs. an SPC (External Hex) Fitting

Choose this SPOC (Internal Hex) Fitting if:

You need to mount multiple fittings very close to each other.

The installation location is difficult to access with a standard wrench from the side.

You prefer a cleaner, flush-mounted appearance.

Choose a Standard SPC (External Hex) Fitting if:

You have ample space for a wrench.

It is for a general-purpose, standalone connection.

FAQ

Frequently Asked questions

Q: What tool do I use to install this fitting?

A: You use a standard metric or imperial Allen key (hex wrench) that fits into the hexagon-shaped socket on the top of the fitting.

Q: Is the connection as strong as a standard external hex fitting?

A: Yes. When tightened to the correct torque, the internal hex design provides an equally strong and leak-proof seal.

Q: Can I still use this for steam and water?

A: Absolutely. Its media compatibility is identical to our standard SPC series, determined by its 316/304 stainless steel body and FKM O-ring.
