Parker 62ABH-6 Brass Compression Bulkhead Union 3/8 in

Product Description

The PARKER 62ABH-6 is a brass compression tube bulkhead union designed to route tubing through a panel, bulkhead, or wall while maintaining a secure, leak-resistant connection on both sides. It accepts compression fittings on each end, allowing the technician to connect tubing without soldering or flaring. Rated to 400 psi maximum working pressure and a temperature range of -65 degrees F to 250 degrees F, this fitting suits demanding fluid and pneumatic line installations where a through-panel connection is required. The brass construction provides corrosion resistance in a wide range of media. It meets DOT FMVSS571.106 and SAE J246 standards, making it suitable for brake and fuel line applications in mobile and industrial equipment.

This bulkhead union is commonly installed in automotive, truck, and mobile equipment brake line systems, as well as in industrial fluid and pneumatic tubing runs where lines must pass cleanly through a panel or enclosure. Plumbers, fluid power technicians, and fleet mechanics install this fitting when routing 3/8 inch OD tubing through a chassis wall, firewall, or enclosure panel. It is appropriate for both residential equipment and commercial vehicle applications where DOT-compliant fittings are specified.

Key Features

• 3/8 inch tube outside diameter on both ends
• 400 psi maximum working pressure
• Temperature rated from -65 degrees F to 250 degrees F
• Brass construction for corrosion resistance and durability
• Meets DOT FMVSS571.106 and SAE J246 standards for brake and fluid line service

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or new-installation fitting for fluid and pneumatic tubing systems using 3/8 inch OD compression tubing in DOT-compliant brake line and industrial fluid line applications.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by licensed plumbers, fluid power technicians, or qualified fleet mechanics working on tubing systems. Depressurize and drain the line before removing or installing any fitting. Compression fittings require proper tube preparation — cut tubing squarely and deburr the end before seating the ferrule. Follow DOT FMVSS571.106 and SAE J246 guidelines for torque and assembly procedures as specified in the relevant service documentation.
