Tube sizing questions
What does O.D. mean for this product?
O.D. means outside diameter. The BPUC tube size options describe the outside diameter of the tube, not its inside diameter or a pipe thread size.
Can I substitute a nearby metric size for an inch size?
Do not assume that similar metric and inch sizes are interchangeable. Match the selected BPUC option to the tube's specified outside diameter and measurement system.
Does selecting an inch size mean this is a metric-to-inch reducer?
The product is listed as a union straight connector with metric and inch size options, not as a metric-to-inch reducer. Do not infer mixed-size compatibility from the availability of both measurement systems.
