Scott Equipment Company supports MEM-CO miniature air and fluid fittings, manifolds, adapters and custom fluid-connection solutions for manufacturers, OEMs and machine builders throughout North and South Carolina.
MEM-CO Miniature Air & Fluid Fittings
MEM-CO specializes in compact air and fluid connection products for applications where standard fittings may be too large, unavailable in the required configuration or unable to meet an unusual connection requirement. Its portfolio includes miniature barbed fittings, unitized fitting assemblies, manifolds, adapters, orifice fittings and specialized connection products in multiple materials and thread standards.
Miniature Fluid Connections Since 1963
MEM-CO has specialized in miniature barbed air and fluid fittings for science and industry since 1963. The product range is designed around compact connections, unusual tubing and thread combinations, unitized assemblies and custom fitting requirements that can be difficult to solve with conventional catalog components.
Compact Connections
Miniature fitting configurations help designers route pneumatic and fluid lines in equipment where component density and available installation space are limited.
Broad Connection Options
MEM-CO supports multiple tubing sizes and connection standards, including NPT, SAE, metric, BSPT, BSPP and small micro or nano-style connection requirements.
Custom & Hard-to-Find Fittings
When a standard fitting does not provide the required material, geometry, port arrangement or thread combination, MEM-CO can support application-specific fitting configurations.
Explore MEM-CO Air & Fluid Connection Products
MEM-CO's fitting range provides designers with options for compact pneumatic systems, instrumentation, automated equipment and other applications requiring precise routing of air or fluids.
Miniature Barbed Fittings
Tube-to-tube and thread-to-tube barbed fittings are available in straight, elbow, tee, cross, reducer and other compact configurations for small-ID flexible tubing.
Explore MEM-CO Fittings →Unitized Fitting Assemblies
Combination tees, reducing tees, L-tees, Y fittings and multi-branch configurations combine multiple connection functions into a compact assembly to simplify routing and reduce the number of individual components required.
Explore MEM-CO →Manifolds
MEM-CO manifold products provide multiple ports in compact configurations for distributing air or fluid to several tubing runs while helping organize machine plumbing and reduce assembly complexity.
Explore Manifold Solutions →Adapters, Bulkheads & Reducers
Adapters, reducing bushings, bulkhead fittings, plugs and related connection products help transition between tubing sizes, thread types and different portions of a pneumatic or fluid system.
Explore Fitting Options →Orifice & Filter Fittings
Specialized fittings can incorporate restricted orifices or filtration directly into the fluid connection, providing compact options for applications where flow control or contamination protection must fit into limited space.
Explore Specialty Fittings →Metric & International Connections
In addition to common NPT connections, MEM-CO offers fitting options for metric, SAE, BSPT, BSPP and other connection standards, helping support imported equipment and specialized machine designs.
Explore Connection Options →Material Options
Current MEM-CO fitting options include brass, electroless-nickel-plated configurations, 303 and 316 stainless steel and aluminum, allowing material selection to be matched to the operating environment and fluid requirements.
Visit MEM-CO →Custom Fitting Solutions
Custom geometries, materials, branch arrangements and connection combinations can help solve applications where an off-the-shelf fitting creates unnecessary adapters, excessive tubing or installation problems.
Read About MEM-CO Custom Solutions →Compact Connections for Automated & Precision Equipment
MEM-CO fittings are particularly useful where tubing must be routed through compact machinery or where unusual port arrangements, connection standards or materials make conventional fittings difficult to use.
Machine Automation
Compact fittings and unitized assemblies can simplify pneumatic and fluid routing inside production machinery, fixtures and automated equipment.
Instrumentation
Miniature connections support gauges, analyzers, sensors, test equipment and instrumentation systems where tubing and component sizes are small.
Robotics
Small fittings can help route pneumatic or fluid lines through compact robotic tooling, mechanisms and other space-constrained automation assemblies.
Medical & Laboratory Equipment
Small tubing connections and specialized fitting configurations support compact equipment where precise packaging and fluid routing are important design considerations.
Semiconductor & Electronics Equipment
Compact fitting configurations can support equipment where dense component layouts and controlled routing of air or process fluids are required.
OEM Equipment
Custom and unitized fittings can reduce individual components and simplify repetitive tubing assemblies in equipment built in production quantities.
Help Solve Difficult Fitting & Tubing Applications
Our Sales and Technical Teams can help review tubing size, thread type, available space, material requirements and port configuration to identify an appropriate MEM-CO fitting or determine when a custom solution should be considered. Through our WBIYII — We Build It, You Install It program, MEM-CO fittings can also be incorporated into preassembled pneumatic and fluid-routing solutions.
Fitting Selection
Review tubing ID, connection size, thread type, fitting geometry and available installation space to narrow the appropriate fitting configuration.
Material Review
Evaluate fluid compatibility, corrosion concerns, operating environment and other application requirements when selecting brass, plated, stainless or aluminum components.
Custom Connections
When multiple adapters or standard fittings create an awkward assembly, Scott Equipment can help determine whether a MEM-CO custom or unitized fitting could simplify the connection.
WBIYII Assemblies
MEM-CO fittings, manifolds, tubing and complementary pneumatic components can be incorporated into repeatable WBIYII assemblies or organized installation-ready kits.
Selection note: Final fitting selection should consider tubing inside and outside diameter, thread specification, working pressure, operating temperature, fluid compatibility, fitting material, seal material, available installation space and applicable equipment requirements. Custom products should be verified against the complete application before production quantities are ordered.
