Parker 560576 Ferulset Pre-setting Tool 1/8 Inch

Product Description

The PARKER 560576 is a Ferulset pre-setting tool designed to pre-set ferrules on Parker Ferulok flareless tube fittings before final assembly. This tool mechanically seats the ferrule onto the tubing outside diameter, ensuring consistent bite and proper ferrule deformation prior to installation in the fitting body. It accepts tubing with a 1/8 inch outside diameter. Licensed plumbers, hydraulic technicians, and instrumentation fitters use this tool during tube fitting assembly where flareless connections are required. Pre-setting with the correct tool reduces the chance of leaks and over-tightening at final make-up.

The 560576 is intended for use with Parker Ferulok flareless tube fittings on 1/8 inch tubing. Ferulok fittings are common in hydraulic, instrumentation, and fluid control systems where reliable leak-free connections are required without flaring the tube end. This tool is appropriate for both shop pre-assembly and field use by qualified technicians working on fluid power and process instrumentation lines.

Compatibility

Designed for use with Parker Ferulok flareless tube fittings on 1/8 inch outside diameter tubing.

Installation Notes

This tool is typically used by hydraulic technicians or instrumentation fitters during tube fitting preparation. Before pre-setting, ensure the system is fully depressurized and isolated from any fluid source. Follow Parker Ferulok assembly instructions for the correct number of turns when pre-setting the ferrule. Do not use this tool as a substitute for proper final assembly torque in the fitting body.
