Compression Fittings
Wade compression fittings are of brass construction, providing strength and durability. Offering good corrosion resistance from the effects of water and heat they are suitable for use at elevated pressures and temperatures.
The simple design principle enables quick and easy installation with no requirement for special installation skills.
The fittings are resistant to attack from a variety of oils, minerals, acids and gases on hydraulic, pneumatic and instrumentation systems.
All fittings are supplied preassembled which reduces the risk of incorrect assembly.
Quality Assured
Designed and manufactured to BS 2051 Parts 1 and 2.
Assembly
Compression fitting assembly comprises a standard body in combination with a variety of compression nut and ring options. This provides mechanically strong and reliable joint connections suitable for a wide range of tube types of various outside diameters and wall thickness.
Re-makeable Joints
Correctly assembled fittings create a perfect seal that can be broken and remade many times without impairing the efficiency of the joint. This enables easy maintenance and serviceability.
Sistem-P Push-In Fittings
The Wade Sistem-P Fitting system enables quick and easy connection and disconnection easy maintenance.
All Wade Sistem-P fittings are manufactured with a nickel plated finish from lightweight, high strength materials.
The nickel plated finish and robust construction protects against corrosion, making them particularly suitable for food and chemical applications.
Unique Security Grip
Once the tube is fully inserted into the fitting the unique security grip automatically seals and locks into position, preventing accidental disconnection. The more the tube is pulled, the tighter the grip becomes. The tube can only be released by pushing the release ring.
This design makes the fitting suitable for use on a variety of tubing including nylon and polypropylene.
Hexagon Feature
The internal hexagon feature on the straight connectors enables the fitter to use a standard Allen key to tighten the fitting when installation is required within confined spaces.
Technical Characteristics
Maximum working pressure: 16 Bar
Working temperature: -10°C to +80° C
Suitable for use with: Air, Gas and Fluids
Compact Push-in Fittings
Enables quick and easy connection and disconnection between the tube and fitting. This provides the added benefit of easy maintenance.
Mounting Facility
Polybutylene bodies feature fixing holes, enabling secure mounting of the fitting and easy installation.

Nickel Plated Brass BSP Fittings
A range of nickel plated brass fittings in various configurations incorporating options with BSP Taper and BSP Parallel, male and female threaded connections.
A complimentary range of adaptors intended for use with the Sistem-P and Compact push-in fittings, enabling quick and easy adaption of male and female stud thread connections.
Manufactured in brass with a nickel plated finish
Suitable for use at the maximum recommended working pressures applicable to both the Sistem-P and Compact push-in ranges. The nickel plated finish provides protection against corrosion.
Air Valves
Wade Safety Relief Valves can be made available for set pressures within a range from 1.8 Bar up to 20.1 Bar. The valves can be assembled with a choice of nine different springs, each of which is suitable for a particular setting within that range.

Our Heritage
In 1951 Wade Couplings started trading in Birmingham, UK. The business quickly established itself as a quality manufacturer of brass compression fittings, a reputation which continues today.
Initially Wade Couplings developed a unique range of proven quality products designed for medium and low pressure. Over the years the range has grown and now also includes Sistem-P, Compact Push-In Fittings, Nickel Plated Brass BSP Fittings, Silencers and Safety Relief Air Valves.
In 1961 Wade Couplings was acquired by Davis and Timmins of Wood Green in London, a light engineering company and manufacturer of screws, nuts and bolts. Later that year it was acquired by the Delta Metal Company of London and Birmingham and became part of the Delta Fluid Products brand.
In 2008 Crane Co acquired Delta Fluid Products and Wade is now part of the building services brands under Crane Building Services & Utilities.
Advertisement Date: 1957
