Sizes are available from 1/16” and 1/8” OD semi-rigid tubing, and ¼” – 28 UNF and M6 threaded ports.  PEEK cased ferrules are compatible with Diba’s Omni-Lok, Gripper and Click-N-Seal™ fittings.  Its double diameter shell fits into the recesses of Omni-Lok fitting nuts for optimal thread engagement, with maximum sealing surface.
