Parker 61CA-2 Compression Tube Sleeve Brass

Product Description

The PARKER 61CA-2 is a brass compression tube sleeve designed to create a reliable, leak-resistant connection in compression fitting assemblies. The sleeve seats against the fitting body and ferrule to form a pressure-tight joint when the fitting nut is tightened. Rated for a maximum working pressure of 2800 psi and a temperature range of -65 degrees F to 250 degrees F, this sleeve is built for demanding fluid and gas line applications. Its brass construction provides corrosion resistance and good machinability, making it a standard choice for plumbing, hydraulic, and instrumentation work.

This sleeve is used in compression-style tube fittings across residential and commercial plumbing, HVAC refrigerant lines, pneumatic systems, and hydraulic circuits. It is suited for installations where a removable, pressure-rated tube connection is required. The NPTF thread standard designation indicates compatibility with American dryseal pipe thread systems. Installers in plumbing, HVAC, and industrial piping trades will encounter this sleeve as a replacement or service component in compression fitting repairs.

Installation Notes

This sleeve is installed by licensed plumbers, HVAC technicians, and instrumentation or hydraulic technicians as part of a compression fitting assembly. Shut off and depressurize the fluid or gas line completely before disassembly or installation. Do not over-tighten the compression nut, as excess force can deform the sleeve and compromise the seal. Follow applicable codes such as the IPC or IFGC when installing in plumbing or gas piping systems.
