Precision, Quality, and Trust: Twin Ferrule Compression Fittings from Aston Fittings

Posted on | by Aston Fittings

At Aston Fittings, we pride ourselves on being a trusted name in the supply of precision-engineered fittings, flanges, and valves to a wide range of industries. 

For decades, our enthusiastic commitment to delivering high-quality products with exceptional service and high quality standards has earned us the loyalty of customers across the UK and beyond. 

One of the key components in our product range is our Twin Ferrule Compression Fittings; a vital solution for secure, leak-free connections in demanding environments.

Why Twin Ferrule Compression Fittings?

Our high-quality twin ferrule compression fittings are designed for precision and reliability. Unlike other forms of fittings, which may rely on threads or welding, these fittings employ a two-ferrule system that ensures a secure grip and perfect seal on tubing. 

The front ferrule provides the seal while the back ferrule grips the tube, ensuring vibration resistance and long-term integrity of the connection.

This makes our twin ferrule compression fittings ideal for use in high-pressure, high-temperature, or high-vibration applications, such as those found in petrochemical, oil and gas, power generation, pharmaceutical, and food processing industries.

Our Comprehensive Range

We offer a comprehensive selection of twin ferrule compression fittings, manufactured in a variety of materials to meet diverse requirements. 

Our standard material is high-grade 316 stainless steel: which is known for its strength, corrosion resistance, and suitability for a wide range of fluids and gases. However, we also provide fittings in brass, Monel, Inconel, and other exotic alloys, upon request.

Our product line of twin ferrule fittings includes:

Each fitting is engineered to meet or exceed international standards, ensuring compatibility, durability, and performance you can rely on.

Designed for Versatility

One of the key advantages of our twin ferrule compression fittings is their versatility. They are compatible with metric and imperial tube sizes and are designed to work across various wall thicknesses. 

This flexibility simplifies system design and installation, reduces the need for welding, and enables quick, efficient maintenance and upgrades.

Whether you’re working with stainless steel tubing in a corrosive environment or connecting instrumentation in a clean room, our fittings provide the peace of mind you need.

Engineering Support and Bespoke Solutions

At Aston Fittings, we understand that every project has unique requirements. That’s why our engineering team is always on hand to offer expert advice and custom solutions. Whether it’s a special material, an unusual configuration, or a complex installation, we work closely with clients to ensure the fittings meet every specification.

Our in-house machining capabilities allow us to deliver bespoke components quickly and cost-effectively. So, if you need a non-standard twin ferrule compression fitting, rest assured; we’ve got you covered.

Quality Assurance

Quality is at the heart of everything we do. Every fitting we supply is subject to rigorous inspection and testing to ensure it meets our exacting standards. Our ISO 9001 accreditation reflects our commitment to continuous improvement and customer satisfaction.

We also offer full material traceability and certification upon request, giving our customers the assurance they need in regulated sectors such as pharmaceuticals, food production, and aerospace.

Protecting Lives and Property: Watermist Fire Suppression Systems and the Components We Supply

Posted on | by Aston Fittings

In today’s world, where fire safety is paramount across residential, commercial, and industrial settings, the importance of advanced fire suppression systems cannot be overstated. 

At Aston Fittings, we play a crucial role in keeping people and properties safe by supplying premium-grade components for watermist fire suppression systems, which represent the very best capabilities of fire protection technology as they are efficient, eco-friendly, and highly effective. 

As a trusted supplier to the fire suppression industry, we are proud to support clients across the UK and beyond with the precision-engineered fittings and components they need to build robust, reliable systems.

What Are Watermist Fire Suppression Systems?

Watermist fire suppression systems use fine droplets of water, released under high pressure, to control, suppress, or extinguish fires. The mist works by cooling the flame and surrounding gases, displacing oxygen through evaporation, and blocking radiant heat. 

This triple-action extinguishing method makes watermist an extremely efficient solution that requires far less water than traditional sprinkler systems.

These systems are particularly suited to sensitive environments where excess water could cause damage, such as data centres,hospitals, museums, historic buildings, and commercial kitchens. Moreover, their rapid response and minimal water use make them an ideal choice for both new developments and retrofits.

Our Role in the Fire Suppression Industry

At Aston Fittings, we understand that the reliability of a watermist fire suppression system starts with the quality of its components. 

Our company specialises in the supply of stainless steel compression fittings, flanges, valves, adaptors, and pipework that form the backbone of these advanced systems. Whether you’re an OEM, installer, or engineer, you can count on us to deliver robust, corrosion-resistant components designed to withstand the pressures and conditions typical of fire suppression applications.

Our stainless steel components are manufactured to the highest specifications and are suitable for high-pressure environments, making them perfect for the delivery of atomised water within watermist fire suppression systems. 

Furthermore, the precision and reliability of our fittings ensure leak-free, long-lasting connections throughout the system which are critical in life-safety applications where failure is not an option.

Products We Offer for Watermist Systems

We supply a wide range of components that are essential to the performance and safety of watermist fire suppression systems, including:

  • Compression Tube Fittings – Manufactured in stainless steel, these provide a secure, easy-to-install solution for high-pressure misting lines.
