Parker 61CA-5 Compression Tube Sleeve Brass 1200 Psi

Product Description

The PARKER 61CA-5 is a brass compression tube sleeve designed for use in compression-style tube fittings across fluid and pneumatic system applications. This sleeve seats between the fitting body and the compression nut to create a reliable, leak-resistant mechanical seal on tubing ends. Rated to 1200 psi maximum working pressure, the 61CA-5 handles temperature ranges from -65 degrees F to 250 degrees F. Its compact 0.45 inch overall length fits within standard compression fitting assemblies. Plumbers, HVAC technicians, and industrial piping professionals install this component when assembling or servicing compression tube connections in both low- and high-pressure lines.

The PARKER 61CA-5 sleeve is suited for residential and commercial plumbing, HVAC refrigerant and fluid lines, and industrial pneumatic or hydraulic tubing assemblies where a compression-style end connection is specified. It is compatible with NPTF thread standard fittings and is sold individually with a minimum order quantity of 5 units. The brass construction makes it a common choice for copper and compatible soft-metal tubing installations where corrosion resistance and workability are priorities.

Key Features

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement sleeve for standard compression tube fitting assemblies using NPTF thread standard fitting bodies.

Installation Notes

Installation is typically performed by licensed plumbers, HVAC technicians, or industrial piping mechanics. Before servicing any compression fitting, shut off fluid or air supply and depressurize the line completely. Slide the sleeve onto the tubing before threading the compression nut, and ensure the tubing end is cut cleanly and deburred to achieve a proper seal. Refer to IPC or applicable mechanical codes for required fitting standards in your jurisdiction.
