Robertshaw 4590-816 Ferrule
The Robertshaw 4590-816 is a professional-grade 1/4" extended breakaway ferrule designed for high-performance gas line connections in heating, cooking, and water heating applications. Engineered as a screw machined brass fitting, this component features a specialized design that eliminates the need for an additional compression nut, streamlining the installation of pilot burner tubing to gas valves. This extended ferrule provides the necessary reach for recessed valve ports while ensuring a leak-resistant seal that withstands the high-demand environments typical of commercial and residential HVACR service. By utilizing a breakaway gas fitting design, technicians can ensure a secure, permanent grip on the tubing as the connection is torqued, providing a reliable metal-to-metal seal essential for gas safety.
Key Benefits:
- Integrated Design: One-piece construction replaces the standard nut and ferrule combination, reducing part count and potential leak points.
- Contractor Grade: Manufactured from screw machined brass for superior durability and precision fit compared to stamped alternatives.
- Universal Compatibility: Cross-references with Uni-Line 63197, making it a versatile stock item for various gas valve repairs.
- Ease of Use: The breakaway feature ensures proper tensioning and a permanent setscrew-like hold on 1/4" OD tubing.
Common Questions:
Does this ferrule require a separate compression nut?
No, the Robertshaw 4590-816 is an integrated breakaway ferrule designed to thread directly into the gas valve port, acting as both the securing nut and the sealing sleeve.
What is the benefit of the 'extended' length?
The extended body allows for a secure grip and easier threading in tight manifolds or when connecting to pilot ports that are recessed within the gas valve body.
Can these be reused once tightened?
No, as these are breakaway ferrules, they deform and lock onto the tubing once properly seated to ensure a permanent, tamper-proof seal. Always use a new ferrule when replacing tubing or valves.
