Parker 60PT-8 Compression Tube Sleeve Delrin 200 Psi

Product Description

The PARKER 60PT-8 is a compression tube sleeve designed for use in compression fitting assemblies across fluid and pneumatic line installations. Manufactured from Delrin, this sleeve provides reliable performance in tubing connections where dimensional stability and resistance to moderate temperatures are required. It meets SAE J-512 standards and is rated for a maximum working pressure of 200 psi, a maximum temperature of 250 degrees F, and a minimum temperature of -65 degrees F. HVAC technicians, plumbers, and refrigeration mechanics install this sleeve as part of compression-style tube fittings to create leak-free mechanical joints without the need for flaring or brazing.

This sleeve is suited for residential and light commercial fluid-handling systems where compression fittings conforming to SAE J-512 are specified. Typical applications include refrigerant line connections, pneumatic control tubing, and hydraulic or fluid transfer lines where a reusable, tool-assembled compression joint is preferred. The Delrin construction makes it appropriate for applications where metal sleeves may cause galvanic concerns or where tubing material is softer and requires a gentler bite profile.

Key Features

• Delrin construction for dimensional stability and compatibility with a range of tubing materials
• Compression end connection for tool-assembled, flareless tube joints
• Rated to 200 psi maximum working pressure
• Operating temperature range of -65 degrees F to 250 degrees F
• Meets SAE J-512 standard for compression tube fittings

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement sleeve for SAE J-512 compression tube fitting assemblies in fluid and pneumatic systems.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by licensed HVAC technicians, plumbers, or refrigeration mechanics familiar with compression fitting assemblies. De-energize and depressurize the system completely before disassembling any tubing connections. Use proper tubing cutters to ensure a clean, square cut on the tube end before inserting the sleeve, as burrs or angled cuts can compromise the seal. Follow SAE J-512 assembly torque sequences and do not over-tighten, as Delrin sleeves can deform under excessive force.
