New Line of Redesigned and Improved
Stainless Steel Male Luer Locks (SSMLL)
S4J Manufacturing is proud to introduce our new line of Male Luer Locks in stainless steel (type 316). The new series, denoted by the SSALZ prefix, is both aesthetically and mechanically improved over our original line of stainless steel Male Luer Locks (SSMLLs) and costs less!
New applications should only consider this new series of components (SSALZs), as the original series will eventually be discontinued.
We would encourage customers to consider evaluating the new series for current applications, since you would get an improved product for a lower price.
Changes include:
- The collar containing the Luer threads is now round (was hex)
- There are no washout slots as these have not been included in any Luer specification since the ANSI Z70.1-1955
- The collar is attached using fiber laser welding technology whereas our original series is silver brazed.
- With the removal of the slots, there are some minor length changes. Request a General Dimension drawing.
Benefits of Laser Welding:
- Very little heat is generated so the black carbon buildup on the surfaces of our original SSMLLs does not occur in the new series.
- The laser welded joint is more reliable than a brazed joint.
- The new series collars are better aligned to the male Luer taper because we now press fit the collar then laser weld. With the original series, a gap of .002-.003” was required for the silver filler to flow through to the joint surfaces during the brazing process; this gap has allowed the collar to end slightly misaligned.
