Parker 60AB-12 Compression Tube Sleeve Brass 0.758 in Id

Product Description

The PARKER 60AB-12 is a brass compression tube sleeve designed for use in compression-style tube fittings. The sleeve seats between the compression nut and the fitting body, creating a leak-resistant mechanical seal when the nut is tightened. Constructed from brass, this sleeve meets D.O.T. FMVSS571.106 and SAE J246 standards, making it suitable for applications that require compliance with federal motor vehicle and hydraulic fitting specifications. With a maximum working pressure of 400 psi and an inside diameter of 0.758 inches, it is dimensioned for standard 3/4-inch tube applications. Licensed plumbers, fleet maintenance technicians, and hydraulic system installers commonly work with this fitting component.

This sleeve is used in compression tube assemblies across a range of applications including hydraulic brake lines, pneumatic tubing, and fluid transfer systems where a secure, vibration-resistant tube connection is required. It performs across a wide temperature range, rated from -65 degrees F to 250 degrees F, making it appropriate for both under-hood automotive environments and general industrial plumbing systems. It is compatible with standard compression fittings that accept a 0.758-inch inside diameter sleeve.

Key Features

• Rated to 400 psi maximum working pressure
• Inside diameter of 0.758 inches fits standard 3/4-inch compression tube connections
• Temperature range of -65 degrees F to 250 degrees F for broad service environments
• Meets D.O.T. FMVSS571.106 and SAE J246 standards for automotive and hydraulic applications
• Lightweight at 0.02 pounds — easy to stock and handle in quantity

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style compression sleeve for use with standard compression tube fittings requiring a 0.758-inch inside diameter sleeve in D.O.T.- and SAE J246-compliant systems.

Installation Notes

Installation is typically performed by licensed plumbers, hydraulic technicians, or certified brake system technicians. Always depressurize and drain the line before disassembling any compression fitting. Seat the sleeve squarely against the tube before threading and tightening the compression nut — cross-threading or over-tightening can deform the sleeve and cause leaks. Refer to applicable SAE and D.O.T. guidelines for torque and assembly procedures specific to the system being serviced.
