Hi All,

Can anyone identify this type of tube connection? I am looking to find some literature on this. Note the slots cut in the ferrule...

This comes from a 1500 psi HPU - circa 1960.

Thanks,
22west.

Is it metric or standard? This will greatly simplify our search.
 
Hi All,

Thanks for the quick responses.
Sorry, this is the only photo I have.
The tube OD is 1". The slotted ferrule is about 3/4" long.
This appears to be a self-flare fitting put out by LDI industries.
Back in the day I believe the company was called Flodar.

See images I pulled from literature here :


I will need to take a closer look at the female side of the connection to see if it has the self-flare interface. The slotted Ferrule seems to match.
