Parker 60VL-6 Compression Tube Sleeve Buna-n Nptf

Product Description

The PARKER 60VL-6 is a compression tube sleeve designed for use in hydraulic and pneumatic tube fitting assemblies. Manufactured from Buna-N elastomer, this sleeve functions as the sealing and gripping component in a compression-style connection, creating a leak-resistant joint without the need for flaring or welding. It uses the Vibra-Lok compression style, which is engineered to maintain a secure hold in applications subject to vibration and pressure cycling. The sleeve meets ISO 6149 and SAE J1926 standards and is rated for service from -30 degrees F to 275 degrees F. It is a single-piece component sold individually.

This sleeve is suited for fluid power, industrial pneumatic, and hydraulic line applications where NPTF-compatible compression fittings are specified. The Vibra-Lok design makes it particularly appropriate for mobile equipment, compressor lines, and other installations where vibration is a consistent operating condition. It is typically installed by hydraulic technicians, industrial maintenance mechanics, and fluid power specialists working on tube and fitting assemblies in both OEM and MRO contexts.

Key Features

• Buna-N construction provides resistance to petroleum-based fluids and moderate temperature ranges
• Vibra-Lok compression style maintains grip and seal integrity under vibration and pressure cycling
• Meets ISO 6149 and SAE J1926 standards for reliable fitment in compliant assemblies
• NPTF thread standard compatibility for use with National Pipe Taper Fuel fittings
• Operating range from -30 degrees F to 275 degrees F suits a broad range of service environments
• No flaring or welding required for installation

Compatibility

Designed for use with NPTF-compatible compression fitting assemblies conforming to ISO 6149 and SAE J1926 standards. Consult PARKER fitting documentation to confirm sleeve size and series compatibility before installation.

Installation Notes

Installation is typically performed by a qualified hydraulic or fluid power technician. Depressurize and isolate the fluid line completely before disassembling any fitting. Ensure mating tube and fitting components are clean and free of burrs before seating the sleeve. Follow the fitting manufacturer's assembly procedure for proper sleeve positioning and nut torque sequence.
