Parker 61CA-14 Compression Tube Sleeve Brass 2800 Psi

Product Description

The PARKER 61CA-14 is a brass compression tube sleeve designed for use in high-pressure fluid and gas line assemblies. It functions as the gripping and sealing component in a compression fitting assembly, biting into the tubing wall when the fitting nut is tightened to form a leak-resistant mechanical connection. Rated to 2800 psi maximum working pressure, this sleeve handles a wide service temperature range from -65 degrees F to 250 degrees F. Fabricated from brass, it is suited for applications where corrosion resistance and machinability are priorities. Plumbers, HVAC technicians, and industrial piping contractors typically install this component as part of a larger compression fitting assembly.

This sleeve is used in residential and commercial plumbing, HVAC refrigerant and fluid lines, pneumatic systems, and instrumentation tubing installations. It is appropriate wherever a compression-style tube end connection is specified and the system operates within the rated pressure and temperature limits. The tube end connection style accommodates standard tubing without requiring flaring or welding, making it a common choice for field service and repair work.

Key Features

• Brass construction provides corrosion resistance and reliable seating against tubing
• Rated to 2800 psi maximum working pressure for high-pressure line service
• Wide temperature range: -65 degrees F to 250 degrees F
• Tube end connection style — no flaring or welding required
• NPTF thread standard for pressure-tight thread engagement
• Sold individually (package quantity of 1)

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or service component for compression fitting assemblies using tube end connections conforming to standard compression sleeve dimensions.

Installation Notes

Installation is typically performed by licensed plumbers or HVAC technicians. Depressurize and isolate the line completely before disassembling any compression fitting. Ensure tubing is cut square and deburred before seating the sleeve to achieve a proper seal. Follow applicable IPC or IFGC guidelines for pressure testing after assembly.
