Parker 60C-10 Compression Tube Sleeve 5/8 Inch Brass

Product Description

The PARKER 60C-10 is a compression tube sleeve designed to create a secure, leak-resistant connection in compression fitting assemblies. Machined from brass, this sleeve seats between the compression nut and fitting body, biting into the tube OD to form a reliable mechanical seal. It is rated for a maximum working pressure of 150 psi and handles temperatures from -65 degrees F to 250 degrees F. The 60C-10 meets SAE J-512 dimensional and performance standards, making it a direct-fit component in SAE-compliant compression systems. Plumbers, HVAC technicians, and fluid system specialists install this type of sleeve when building or repairing compression tube connections in refrigerant, hydraulic, or general fluid service lines.

The 60C-10 sleeve is suited for use in residential and light commercial applications where 5/8 inch OD tubing is joined with compression-style fittings. Typical install scenarios include copper refrigerant lines, fuel lines, and hydraulic plumbing assemblies that require a reusable or replacement sleeve component. It is appropriate for systems operating within the rated pressure and temperature range where SAE J-512 compression hardware is specified.

Key Features

• Brass construction provides corrosion resistance and reliable bite on copper and compatible tubing materials
• Rated to 150 psi maximum working pressure
• Wide temperature range: -65 degrees F to 250 degrees F
• Meets SAE J-512 standard for compression tube fittings
• Sized for 5/8 inch tube outside diameter

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement compression sleeve for use in SAE J-512 compliant compression fitting assemblies on 5/8 inch OD tubing.

Installation Notes

Installation is typically performed by licensed plumbers or HVAC technicians. Shut off fluid supply and depressurize the line before disassembling any compression fitting. Ensure tubing is cut square and deburred before seating the sleeve to achieve a proper seal. Do not overtighten the compression nut, as excessive force can distort the sleeve and compromise the connection.
