Parker 60C-7 Compression Tube Sleeve Brass 7/16 in 200 Psi

Product Description

The PARKER 60C-7 is a brass compression tube sleeve designed to create a leak-tight mechanical connection in compression tube fittings. The sleeve seats between the compression nut and the fitting body, biting into the tube wall as the nut is tightened to form a secure, pressure-rated seal. Built to SAE J-512 standards, this sleeve is rated for a maximum working pressure of 200 psi and handles temperatures from -65 degrees F to 250 degrees F. It is compatible with 7/16 inch outside diameter tubing. Brass construction provides solid corrosion resistance and machinability for reliable field use in HVAC, refrigeration, plumbing, and fluid-handling applications.

This sleeve is used in compression fittings on copper and compatible soft tubing systems found in residential and light commercial installations. Typical applications include refrigerant lines, hydraulic circuits, fuel lines, and instrument tubing runs where a reliable, reusable compression connection is required. Licensed HVAC technicians, plumbers, and pipefitters routinely install this style of sleeve as part of a complete compression fitting assembly. Its SAE J-512 rating makes it a standard specification component for tubing connections in a wide range of fluid and gas service applications.

Key Features

• Brass construction for corrosion resistance and reliable bite into tube wall
• Rated to 200 psi maximum working pressure
• Temperature range from -65 degrees F to 250 degrees F

Compatibility

Designed for use with 7/16 inch OD compression tube fitting assemblies meeting SAE J-512 specifications, including compatible compression nuts and fitting bodies in HVAC, plumbing, and fluid-handling systems.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by licensed HVAC technicians, plumbers, or pipefitters working on compression tube assemblies. Always depressurize and isolate the line before disassembly or fitting installation. The sleeve is a single-use component in most applications — inspect for deformation before reuse. Follow SAE J-512 assembly procedures and tighten to the fitting manufacturer's specified turns-past-finger-tight guidance to avoid over-compression and tube damage.
