Ferrule Removal & Saver Tool. For Stainless Steel Ferrules. MICROSOLV Brand. 1 EA.
Additional Info:
The 46020‑FS Ferrule Removal & Saver Tool is designed for the safe removal of stainless‑steel ferrules that have permanently swaged onto HPLC tubing. In conventional compression fittings, ferrules deform and grip the tubing to create a secure, leak‑free seal. Once swaged, these ferrules are typically very difficult to remove without damaging the tubing or the ferrule itself.
This tool is specifically engineered to remove CPI‑type (compression‑style) stainless‑steel ferrules from HPLC tubing quickly, cleanly, and without damaging the tubing surface. By preserving the integrity of the tubing and the end geometry, the tool helps maintain proper system performance and reduces the need for tubing replacement.
Using this tool eliminates the need to cut the tubing to remove a stuck ferrule, which often results in:
Tubing becoming too short for proper installation
Loss of a clean, precision‑cut tubing end
Additional downtime and replacement cost
The 46020‑FS tool is an essential maintenance accessory for laboratories working with stainless steel HPLC tubing and compression fittings, helping ensure consistent connections and extending the usable life of tubing components.
Why Use a Ferrule Removal Tool?
When stainless‑steel ferrules are swaged onto tubing:
They create a permanent mechanical grip
Removal without proper tools can damage tubing walls or sealing surfaces
Cutting tubing leads to shortened lines and compromised fits
The Ferrule Removal & Saver Tool provides a controlled method for removal, preserving both:
The tubing length
The end‑cut integrity
