Parker 560581 Ferulset Pre-setting Tool 1/2 Inch

Product Description

The PARKER 560581 is a Ferulset pre-setting tool designed to properly seat and pre-set ferrules on Parker Ferulok flareless tube fittings before final assembly. This tool ensures the ferrule is driven to the correct depth on the tubing, which is a required step in the Ferulok installation process. It is rated for 1/2 inch tube capacity. Plumbers, pipefitters, and industrial maintenance technicians use this tool when assembling flareless compression-style tube connections in hydraulic, pneumatic, and fluid-transfer systems.

This pre-setting tool is used during the preparation stage of Ferulok flareless fitting installations. Pre-setting is a critical step that cold-forms the ferrule onto the tube before the fitting is installed in the system, reducing the chance of ferrule distortion or leakage under pressure. Typical applications include industrial hydraulic lines, instrumentation tubing, and fluid power systems where flareless fittings are the specified connection method.

Key Features

• Pre-sets ferrules to the correct depth before final fitting assembly
• Matched to 1/2 inch tube capacity for a precise fit
• Designed specifically for use with Parker Ferulok flareless tube fittings
• Eliminates the need to use the system valve or fitting body as a pre-setter, protecting system components
• Single-piece tool format for straightforward bench use

Compatibility

Designed for use with Parker Ferulok flareless tube fittings at 1/2 inch tube capacity.

Installation Notes

This tool is used by pipefitters, hydraulic technicians, and industrial maintenance professionals during tube fitting preparation. Always perform ferrule pre-setting on a stable work surface with the tube securely held before installing the fitting into a live system. Ensure the system or equipment is fully depressurized and isolated before replacing or disturbing any tube fittings downstream. Follow Parker Ferulok installation instructions for the correct number of pre-setting turns to avoid over-driving the ferrule.
