Frequently Asked Questions
Are the compression nuts and ferrules included with this valve?
Not included. The valve is supplied as the bare body with threaded 1/4-inch stubs, requiring standard Swagelok 1/4-inch nuts and front and back ferrules for tubing installation.
What does the arrow on the valve body indicate?
The etched arrow indicates the required fluid flow direction. P4T series plug valves are unidirectional and designed to seal against forward flow pressure.
Why buy this individual Swagelok valve instead of a surplus bulk lot?
You get the exact unit documented here with verified markings, intact threads, and honest condition notes, rather than gambling on an unsorted lot of unknown pull-offs. Orders leave our Idaho warehouse the same or next business day.
