Parker 560579 Ferulset Pre-setting Tool 5/16 Inch

Product Description

The PARKER 560579 is a Ferulset pre-setting tool designed to preset 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 connection at the fitting body. Correct pre-setting reduces the risk of improper assembly and leak paths in hydraulic and instrumentation tubing systems. The 560579 is sized specifically for 5/16 inch outside diameter tubing and is used by hydraulic technicians, pipefitters, and instrumentation mechanics working with flareless compression-style tube fittings.

This tool is intended for use in hydraulic, pneumatic, and instrumentation tubing applications where Parker Ferulok flareless fittings are specified. Pre-setting tools are commonly used on the bench or in the field before final line installation, particularly in industrial, mobile equipment, and process instrumentation environments. The tool accepts tubing with a 5/16 inch outside diameter — both minimum and maximum rated capacity are 5/16 inch, making it a single-size dedicated tool.

Key Features

• Preset ferrules to the correct bite depth before final assembly at the fitting body
• Dedicated 5/16 inch tubing capacity for consistent, repeatable results
• Compatible with Parker Ferulok flareless tube fitting systems
• Bench or field use in hydraulic and instrumentation tubing applications
• Single-piece tool — package quantity of 1

Compatibility

Designed for use with Parker Ferulok flareless tube fittings on 5/16 inch outside diameter tubing.

Installation Notes

A licensed pipefitter, hydraulic technician, or instrumentation mechanic should perform ferrule pre-setting and final assembly. Depressurize and isolate the tubing circuit completely before disassembling any existing connections. Use the pre-setting tool per the fitting manufacturer's procedure to achieve proper ferrule seating before threading into the fitting body. Do not substitute this tool for the final make-up torque procedure at the fitting.
