SSP® Tube Fitting Cross-Reference: Crestflo Interchange & Equivalents
A cross-reference for SSP tube fittings pairs an SSP® instrumentation compression tube fitting with a dimensionally equivalent part from another manufacturer. Hold an SSP part number or a bill of materials, and you can source a true form-fit-function interchange. Crestflo builds instrumentation compression tube fittings as dimensional equivalents to SSP® Duolok® (double-ferrule) and Griplok® (single-ferrule) tube fittings, qualified for interchange under ASTM F1387. Same alloy as your original, if you want it. Or step up to an upgraded corrosion-resistant grade.
On this page, "fitting" means something specific: an instrumentation compression tube fitting sealed by a metal ferrule, built for stainless or high-alloy fluid systems. It's not an electrical wire ferrule, and it's not a brass or copper plumbing compression fitting. SSP®, Duolok®, and Griplok® are trademarks of SSP Fittings Corp. Crestflo isn't affiliated with, sponsored by, or endorsed by SSP Fittings Corp. These marks appear here only to identify the fittings Crestflo offers an interchange for. Send your SSP part list and receive a matched same-alloy or upgraded-alloy quote. Request your SSP cross-reference.
SSP Fittings Also Known As: Duolok, Griplok, Twin-Ferrule & Single-Ferrule
People land on this interchange through a handful of different names. SSP Fittings Corp. makes the product, and it shows up in searches as SSP Fittings, SSP Fittings Corp., SSP Corporation, SSP instrumentation fittings, and via the myssp portal. The company's two instrumentation tube-fitting lines each carry their own trade name. Duolok® is the twin- or double-ferrule tube fitting. Griplok® is the single-ferrule version. Whether someone asks for an "SSP equivalent," an "SSP alternative," an "SSP replacement," an "SSP conversion," a "Duolok cross-reference," or a "Griplok cross-reference," they're after the same thing: a dimensional interchange for an SSP compression tube fitting.
SSP to Crestflo Interchange: Duolok, Griplok & Ferrule-Type Parity
Crestflo lines up SSP product lines against equivalent Crestflo instrumentation lines, matching at the ferrule-configuration and geometry level. Rather than publishing generic cross-references, Crestflo prepares part-number-for-part-number comparisons against your specific list. That means the mapping gets verified to your exact size, connection, and alloy. And the line-level mapping itself comes as an HTML cross-reference you read right on screen. No downloading an SSP catalog PDF, no paging through it hunting for the equivalent part.
| SSP product line | Ferrule type | Crestflo equivalent | Alloy & size/connection parity |
|---|---|---|---|
| Duolok® tube fitting | Double (twin) ferrule | Crestflo double-ferrule compression tube fitting | 316/316L and exotic alloys; imperial and metric tube OD to 2″ (50 mm); NPT and other threads |
| Griplok® tube fitting | Single ferrule | Crestflo single-ferrule tube fitting | 316/316L and exotic alloys; imperial and metric tube OD to 2″ (50 mm); NPT and other threads |
Every Crestflo compression tube fitting ships in both imperial and metric sizes, covering the common range from 1/4″ and 1/2″ up through 6 mm and 12 mm, all the way to 2″ (50 mm) tube OD. Hardened and non-hardened ferrules are available to requirement. You'll find the full product detail on the Crestflo compression tube fittings page.

What the SSP Interchange Is Based On: Dimensional Equivalence & ASTM F1387
Two things make an interchange real, not just a claim. First, dimensional equivalence: form, fit, and function matching the SSP fitting envelope. Second, performance qualification to ASTM F1387, the recognized specification governing mechanically attached (compression) tube fittings. F1387 gives the claim a testable foundation. Without it, a fitting is just a look-alike, not a genuine interchange.
Two cautions keep this interchange honest. First, work at the fitting or assembly level: replace the whole SSP fitting with the whole Crestflo equivalent, not a mix of individual ferrule components from different manufacturers in one connection. Second, keep in mind that SSP itself markets Duolok as a Swagelok-interchange line. If your original reference brand is Swagelok, the Swagelok cross-reference is the better place to start. SSP also markets an interchange-and-intermix capability across its own reference material. Crestflo makes no such claim. It describes its parts only as a dimensional interchange, never as an intermix. Crestflo calls these fittings an interchange, an equivalent, a dimensional replacement, or a form-fit-function drop-in replacement for the SSP fitting. That's the honest engineering language for a manufacturer-independent match.
Interchange Basis & Verification at a Glance
| Basis | What it verifies | How Crestflo substantiates it |
|---|---|---|
| Dimensional (form-fit-function) | The fitting matches the SSP envelope, tube OD, and thread so it drops into the same connection | Manufactured to the applicable dimensional standard; customizable to requirement |
| ASTM F1387 performance qualification | Mechanical performance of the compression tube fitting under pressure, vibration, and fatigue | Compression tube fittings qualified per ASTM F1387 |
| Material traceability | The alloy and heat behind the part | Heat/lot number marked on every part; EN 10204 3.1 MTC standard, 3.2 on request |
Same SSP Fitting Geometry in Inconel, Hastelloy, Monel & Duplex
Crestflo supplies the SSP-equivalent geometry in standard 316/316L and 304/304L stainless grades, and also in corrosion-resistant and high-nickel alloys that general catalogs rarely stock for instrumentation fittings. Available families include duplex 2205 and super duplex 2507, 254 SMO, AL-6XN, Alloy 20, and 904L. There's also the Inconel 600/601/625/718/825 and Incoloy 800/800H/825 group, Monel 400 and K500, the Hastelloy C-276/C-22/B-2/B-3/X group, Nickel 200/201, and Titanium Grade 2. Sour-service jobs are covered too, with NACE MR0175 / ISO 15156 compliant material available. Browse grades on the instrumentation fitting materials hub, including 316/316L, Inconel 625, and Hastelloy C-276. That means you can re-source an entire SSP line and upgrade the alloy in one move.
Who Is SSP? SSP Fittings Corp., Duolok & Griplok
Crestflo has no affiliation with SSP Fittings Corp., a US manufacturer of instrumentation tube fittings, valves, and related fluid-system components. SSP markets its compression tube fittings under the Duolok® (double-ferrule) and Griplok® (single-ferrule) trade names, and it publishes its own product catalog (catalog), interchange material, and cross-reference guides, including the EB Cross Reference Guide. This description exists solely to identify those products accurately. SSP®, Duolok®, and Griplok® remain trademarks of SSP Fittings Corp. Crestflo operates as an independent manufacturer, nothing more.

SSP Cross-Reference FAQ
Does Crestflo cross-reference SSP tube fittings?
Yes. Crestflo builds instrumentation compression tube fittings that match SSP® Duolok® (double-ferrule) and Griplok® (single-ferrule) tube fittings dimension for dimension, qualified for interchange under ASTM F1387. Send over your SSP list, and we'll send back a verified, matched quote.
Are Crestflo and SSP fittings interchangeable?
Crestflo fittings are built as dimensional, form-fit-function equivalents, and they're performance-qualified to ASTM F1387. Replace at the fitting or assembly level: install the complete Crestflo equivalent rather than mixing individual ferrule components from different manufacturers in one connection.
What are Duolok and Griplok?
SSP makes two tube fittings worth knowing. Duolok® is the twin-, or double-, ferrule instrumentation fitting; Griplok® is the single-ferrule version. Both names are trademarks of SSP Fittings Corp. Crestflo carries a dimensional equivalent for each ferrule configuration, so there's a match whether you need single or double ferrules.
Can I get the SSP-equivalent fitting in Inconel, Hastelloy, or duplex?
Yes, absolutely. Crestflo makes the same geometry available in 316 and 316L, along with duplex 2205 and super duplex 2507. We also stock 254 SMO, AL-6XN, Alloy 20, and 904L. For higher-nickel needs, there's Inconel, Incoloy, Monel, Hastelloy, and Nickel 200/201, plus Titanium Grade 2. That lineup covers NACE MR0175 sour-service material too.
Do you have an SSP-to-Crestflo part number chart?
Crestflo matches SSP product lines to their Crestflo equivalents and builds a verified part-number-level cross-reference against your actual SSP numbers, not some generic chart pulled off a shelf. Send your list and request your SSP cross-reference for a matched quote.
What sizes and connections are covered?
Tube OD reaches up to 2 inches (50 mm), spanning both imperial and metric sizes. Threads include NPT, plus other national, international, and custom options as needed. Values follow whatever standard applies, and they're customizable to requirement.
Are the fittings certified and traceable?
Yes. Crestflo manufactures under ISO 9001, 14001, and 45001, along with PED certification. Its compression tube fittings are qualified to ASTM F1387. Every part carries a heat or lot number stamped right on it. EN 10204 3.1 material test certificates come standard, and 3.2 is there for the asking.
What is the lead time versus the major brands?
Crestflo stocks standard items and builds specials to order, with delivery running 6 to 8 weeks. That's well ahead of the major instrumentation-fitting brands, whose lead times commonly stretch past 20 weeks.
Where are Crestflo fittings made?
Standard product ships from India, though US or European melt is available on request, and full material traceability comes with it. The US origin and compliance page states origin and TAA eligibility honestly. No "made in USA" claim is made.
Is Crestflo affiliated with SSP?
Crestflo isn't affiliated with, sponsored by, or endorsed by SSP Fittings Corp. SSP®, Duolok®, and Griplok® are trademarks of SSP Fittings Corp. They're used here solely to identify the fittings for which Crestflo offers an interchange.
