Parker 12 C5BU-S Bite-type Tube Elbow 3/4 in Od

Product Description

The PARKER 12 C5BU-S is a flareless bite-type tube fitting in a straight thread elbow configuration. It accepts a 3/4-inch tube outside diameter and terminates with a 1-1/16-12 straight thread. Flareless bite-type fittings grip the tube mechanically when the ferrule bites into the tube wall during assembly, eliminating the need for a flared tube end. This fitting is suited for hydraulic and fluid-power lines, pneumatic plumbing, and similar tubing installations where a secure, leak-resistant connection is required without flaring equipment on-site. Licensed plumbers, pipefitters, and hydraulic system technicians are the primary installers.

This elbow fitting is used to change flow direction in tubing runs within hydraulic systems, pneumatic circuits, and industrial fluid-distribution lines. The straight thread end mates to a port with a corresponding 1-1/16-12 internal thread, typically found on hydraulic manifolds, valve bodies, cylinders, and similar components. It is appropriate for both mobile and stationary equipment installations where a 90-degree direction change in the tubing path is needed.

Key Features

• Flareless bite-type design grips tube mechanically — no flaring required
• Straight thread elbow configuration enables direction changes at threaded ports
• 3/4-inch tube OD accommodates standard hydraulic and pneumatic tubing
• 1-1/16-12 straight thread mates to common hydraulic manifold and valve body ports
• Compact elbow form reduces space requirements in tight plumbing runs

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style flareless bite-type tube fitting for hydraulic, pneumatic, and fluid-power systems requiring a 3/4-inch tube OD connection at a 1-1/16-12 straight-threaded port.

Installation Notes

Installation is typically performed by licensed pipefitters, hydraulic system technicians, or qualified maintenance personnel. Depressurize and isolate the hydraulic or pneumatic circuit fully before disconnecting or installing any fittings. Follow the fitting manufacturer's recommended pre-swaging or sleeve-seating procedure for flareless bite-type connections before final torque. Refer to applicable system codes and equipment OEM specifications for thread engagement and assembly requirements.
