Parker 60AB-6 Compression Tube Sleeve Brass 400 Psi

Product Description

The PARKER 60AB-6 is a brass compression tube sleeve designed to create a secure, leak-resistant connection in compression-style tube fittings. The sleeve seats between the compression nut and fitting body, biting into the tubing wall to form a mechanically stable joint without the need for solder or flare tools. With a 0.382-inch inside diameter, a maximum working pressure of 400 psi, and a rated temperature range of -65 degrees F to 250 degrees F, this sleeve suits demanding fluid and pneumatic line applications. It meets D.O.T. FMVSS571.106 and SAE J246 standards, making it suitable for use in both vehicular and general industrial plumbing assemblies.

This sleeve is used in compression fitting assemblies found in hydraulic brake lines, fuel lines, pneumatic control circuits, and fluid transfer systems across automotive, fleet maintenance, and light industrial settings. The brass construction resists corrosion and is compatible with a wide range of media including air, water, and certain fuels. Licensed plumbers, brake system technicians, and fluid power mechanics are the typical installers. The part ships individually but carries a minimum order quantity of 5 units, making it practical for stocking in shop or field inventory.

Key Features

• Brass construction provides corrosion resistance and reliable bite into tubing wall
• 0.382-inch inside diameter for precise fitment on compatible tubing
• Rated to 400 psi maximum working pressure
• Wide operating temperature range: -65 degrees F to 250 degrees F
• Meets D.O.T. FMVSS571.106 and SAE J246 standards for vehicular and industrial use
• No solder or flare required — installs with standard compression tooling

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement sleeve for use with standard compression tube fittings in vehicular brake and fuel line assemblies and general industrial fluid systems conforming to SAE J246 and D.O.T. FMVSS571.106 specifications.

Installation Notes

Installation is typically performed by licensed brake system technicians, fluid power mechanics, or licensed plumbers depending on the application. Depressurize and drain all lines before disassembling any compression fitting. Seat the sleeve squarely on the tubing before threading and tightening the compression nut — cross-threading or over-tightening can deform the sleeve and compromise the seal. Follow applicable SAE and D.O.T. guidelines for tube preparation, including proper cut squareness and deburring before assembly.
