Sang-A fitting reference.

Two tools for one job: decode any Sang-A / SPC part number, or cross your current SMC, Pisco, Legris, Parker, or Festo fitting straight to its SPC equivalent. Built so a distributor can quote a switch in seconds.

Certified RoHS · REACH · ISO 9001
Origin Made in South Korea
Track record In business since 1996

Sang-A isn't a generic store-brand import — it's a major-brand-grade line that runs on par with or better than the established names, typically at a lower cost. These tools make the switch easy to spec.

Decode an SPC part number

part-number anatomy

Every Sang-A part number spells out exactly what it is — design, type, size, thread, finish. Tap a segment to decode it.

-

G PC 1/4 - N02 C EPNI · dashed = optional

Design generation — the G prefix

Check for a leading G before anything else. It marks the newer, stronger-engineered design — always prefer it when available. Rolling out across metric first, now expanding into inch.

(none)original design — still functional Gnew design ⭐ preferred

Product type code

Every fitting starts with P (pneumatic). The letters after describe what it does.

Cstraight connector Lelbow 90° LLextended elbow Ttee Srun tee Uunion Mbulkhead Greducer Hbanjo (swivel) Ffemale Jplug-in Pplug

Tube size

Inch by fraction, metric by mm. 1/4" and 8mm are the most common — most stocked, fastest to ship.

1/41/4" OD · most common 5/325/32" 3/83/8" 1/21/2" 088mm · most common 066mm 1010mm 1212mm

Thread specification

The thread family + size. Four systems covered:

N021/4" NPT (US tapered) 021/4" BSPT (metric tube) R021/4" BSPT on inch tube ⭐ G021/4" BSPP (parallel) U1010-32 UNF
The R-code US advantage. The R-series connects US inch tubing to European/Asian (BSPT) equipment — a cross most distributors can't make. It's a real reason a buyer comes to SPC for Sang-A specifically.

Feature code (optional)

Appears after the thread spec when the fitting has a special trait.

Ccompact — 150 psi, ~40% smaller Ometer out (functional fittings) Imeter in (functional fittings)

Coating — EPNI

EPNI = Electro-Plated Nickel, the standard US-market finish — superior corrosion resistance vs. bare brass.

GBC 08-02 EPNI Ball valve · straight · 8mm metric · 1/4" BSPT · new design

Tube-to-tube fittings (unions) join tube to tube with no threaded port — so they always drop the thread callout. The grammar shortens to [G] type size, with a second size for reducers.

PUC 1/4 Union straight · joins two 1/4" tubes · all-composite, no coating
PG 3/8-1/4 Reducing union · steps 3/8" down to 1/4"
PMM 1/4 EPNI Bulkhead union · 1/4" · metal body keeps the EPNI coating
GPUL 08 Union elbow · 8mm · new design
A second size after a dash = a reducer — the larger OD is written first (PG 3/8-1/4 means 3/8" → 1/4"); a single size means both ends are equal. There's never a thread spec. EPNI returns only on unions with metal parts — e.g. the PMM bulkhead union (PMM 1/4 EPNI); all-composite unions carry no coating code.

The six functional fittings keep the same size + thread + EPNI logic, but each family carries its own prefix and type codes. A leading G marks the new design on the families that have one.
