316 Stainless Steel Tube Fittings Bulkhead Union
BU
Compression tube fittings bulkhead union
The 316 stainless steel Bulkhead Union (BU) is a robust double-ferrule compression fitting designed to join two tubing sections through a panel or wall (bulkhead), providing a secure, leak-free, metal-to-metal seal. It is ideal for applications where two tube lines must pass through enclosures, equipment housings, or structural barriers — enabling fluid or gas flow across partitions without external welding or fittings.
