Hybrid Adapter Fittings

Hybrid Adapter Fittings allow vacuum users to connect two dissimilar vacuum flanges or a vacuum flange to a fitting used in conjunction with vacuum process (Swagelok®, VCR®, NPT). To minimize the effect this transition fitting has on conductance, hybrid adapters are designed with the shortest length and with the largest inner diameter possible.
There are two main styles of hybrid adapters:
Flange-to-Flange adapters:
                                                 These fittings allow transitions between two dissimilar flange families - for example a CF flange to an ISO-QF. Common applications for these fittings include retrofitting an existing vacuum system or adding gauges and instrumentation.
