Introduction

In industries where precision, safety, and reliability define operational success, the quality of the tube fittings used in a system becomes critical. From petrochemical plants to aerospace lines, from hydraulic systems to marine engineering — even the smallest fitting must perform flawlessly under pressure.

At Mcneil Instruments, we manufacture and export premium tube fittings engineered to meet the demanding performance standards required across multiple industrial sectors in the United States. Our fittings deliver exceptional sealing performance, corrosion resistance, dimensional accuracy, and mechanical strength — ensuring long-term system integrity even under high pressure and fluctuating temperature conditions.

Designed to meet ASTM, ASME, ANSI, and international specifications, our precision-engineered tube fittings are trusted across America for their reliability, versatility, and industry-leading performance.

Whether you operate in refining, chemical processing, power generation, pharmaceuticals, or heavy engineering, Mcneil Instruments provides tube fittings engineered for durability, safety, and long-term efficiency.

What Are Tube Fittings?

Tube fittings are precision components used to:

  • Connect tube-to-tube
  • Connect tube-to-pipe
  • Provide a leak-proof, pressure-tight sealing
  • Enable controlled flow of liquids or gases
  • Maintain structural stability under vibration, pressure, and temperature variations

High-quality tube fittings must offer:

✔ Leak-proof joints
✔ High-pressure tolerance
✔ Excellent corrosion resistance
✔ Easy assembly and disassembly
✔ Compatibility with multiple tubing materials
✔ Long service life in harsh working environments

At Mcneil Instruments, we manufacture tube fittings with meticulous attention to material purity, machining accuracy, and sealing technology — ensuring flawless performance throughout the system’s lifecycle.
