The IDEX F-234 PEEK Tubing Sleeve, 0.027" ID x 1/16" OD (F-234, Cole-Parmer item 02017-95) is a yellow PEEK sleeve designed to connect 630-670 µm OD capillary tubing to standard 10-32 ports. Its 1/16" OD configuration maintains a concentric connection while helping minimise dead volume and is pressure rated to 6000 psi (414 bar).
Key Features
- Yellow PEEK construction, providing excellent chemical resistance for compatible fluidic applications
- 0.027" (685 µm) internal diameter, sized for 630-670 µm OD capillary tubing
- Standard 1/16" outer diameter, designed for use with compatible 10-32 threaded fittings and standard coned ports
- 6000 psi pressure rating, equivalent to 414 bar
- Temperature capability up to 125°C, supporting demanding fluid-handling conditions
- 1.3" sleeve length, providing the specified F-234 connection geometry
- Compatible with F-140 and U-400 fittings, as specified by IDEX for this sleeve
- Separate sleeve and ferrule arrangement, allowing adjustment to different tubing pocket depths to help minimise dead volume

Benefits
- Helps maintain a concentric capillary connection while reducing unnecessary internal volume in the fluid path.
- Adapts small-diameter capillary tubing to standard 1/16" OD, 10-32 connection systems.
- Allows the sleeve position to accommodate different tubing pocket depths rather than being permanently fixed to a ferrule.
- Provides straightforward identification through the yellow colour coding used for this F-234 size.
