MDC’s Six-Way Cubes are engineered for ultra-high vacuum (UHV) environments requiring compact, multi-directional access points. These fittings support CF flange-to-CF flange connections of varying sizes, providing centralized integration for vacuum gauges, valves, pumps, or viewports. Fabricated from 304 stainless steel, they offer outstanding strength, corrosion resistance, and vacuum integrity.

Cube sizes from 1-1/3" to 4-1/2" (DN16CF to DN100CF) are precisely machined from solid stainless steel blocks, while larger sizes from 6" to 10" (DN160CF to DN250CF) are constructed using welded plates for durability and optimized conductance. All cubes are UHV-rated to 1x10⁻¹³ Torr, temperature resistant up to 450°C (842°F), and feature a standard matte finish to reduce outgassing. Note: These assemblies require special-length bolts—refer to individual flange hardware listings for proper fit.

Industry Applications

MDC’s Six-Way Cubes are ideal for UHV systems that demand centralized, space-efficient multi-port connectivity. Used in semiconductor manufacturing, thin film deposition, and surface analysis instrumentation, these fittings allow integration of multiple vacuum components from a single point. They are also widely used in beamline transport, fusion research, and space simulation chambers, offering robust performance under extreme vacuum and temperature conditions. Whether for prototyping or production systems, these cubes deliver clean, modular solutions for high-performance scientific and industrial environments.
