Parker 560578 Ferulset Pre-setting Tool 1/4 Inch

Product Description

The PARKER 560578 is a Ferulset pre-setting tool designed to pre-set ferrules onto tubing before final assembly into Parker Ferulok flareless tube fittings. Pre-setting the ferrule off the fitting body allows for faster, more consistent assembly in the field or at a workbench. The tool accepts 1/4 inch outside-diameter tubing and swages the ferrule to the correct bite depth without requiring the fitting body to be mounted in-line. Plumbers, instrumentation technicians, and hydraulic system assemblers use this tool when working with Parker Ferulok compression-style flareless connections in fluid and pneumatic systems.

This tool is intended for use with Parker Ferulok flareless tube fitting assemblies on 1/4 inch OD tubing. It is commonly used in industrial, OEM, and maintenance applications where flareless bite-type tube connections are specified. Pre-setting ferrules before installation reduces the risk of improper bite and helps ensure leak-free joints in hydraulic and pneumatic lines operating at elevated pressures.

Key Features

• Accepts 1/4 inch OD tubing — minimum and maximum capacity both 1/4 inch
• Pre-sets Ferulok ferrules off the fitting body for faster in-line assembly
• Promotes consistent ferrule bite depth and reduces assembly errors
• Designed specifically for Parker Ferulok flareless tube fitting systems
• Compact and lightweight at approximately 0.18 pounds for bench or field use

Compatibility

Designed for use with Parker Ferulok flareless tube fittings on 1/4 inch OD tubing.

Installation Notes

Pre-setting should be performed by a qualified technician familiar with flareless bite-type tube fitting assembly procedures. Follow Parker's published ferrule pre-setting instructions for the correct number of turns to achieve proper bite. Ensure tubing is cut square, deburred, and fully bottomed in the tool before applying torque. Do not reuse a pre-set ferrule that has been removed from the tubing after the pre-setting operation.
