Parker 62ABH-8 Compression Bulkhead Union 1/2 Inch Brass

Product Description

The PARKER 62ABH-8 is a compression tube bulkhead union designed to join two compression fittings through a panel, bulkhead, or wall. Constructed from brass, this fitting accepts 1/2 inch outside diameter tubing on both ends and provides a secure, leak-resistant connection. It carries a maximum working pressure rating of 400 psi and is rated for temperatures from -65 degrees F to 250 degrees F. Compliance with D.O.T. FMVSS571.106 and SAE J246 makes it suitable for applications where regulatory conformance is required. Licensed plumbers, HVAC technicians, and fleet maintenance mechanics install this fitting in pneumatic, hydraulic, and fluid transfer lines.

This bulkhead union is used in applications that require routing tubing through a panel or enclosure wall while maintaining a sealed, pressure-rated connection. Common install scenarios include vehicle brake and air brake systems, fluid transfer assemblies, and industrial pneumatic plumbing where bulkhead pass-throughs are needed. The compression-by-compression end configuration allows connection of standard compression tubing on both sides of the bulkhead without brazing or soldering.

Key Features

• Brass construction provides corrosion resistance and durability in fluid and pneumatic systems
• Compression by compression end connections on both sides for tool-assisted, no-solder installation
• 1/2 inch tube outside diameter on each end
• Rated to 400 psi maximum working pressure
• Wide temperature range: -65 degrees F to 250 degrees F
• Meets D.O.T. FMVSS571.106 and SAE J246 standards for regulated applications

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style bulkhead union for systems using 1/2 inch OD compression tubing where a panel pass-through fitting is required.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by licensed plumbers, HVAC technicians, or qualified mechanics familiar with compression fitting assembly. De-pressurize and isolate the line completely before removing or installing any compression fitting. Ensure tubing is cut cleanly and squarely and fully seated into the fitting body before tightening the compression nut. Do not overtighten compression nuts, as brass fittings can be damaged by excessive force.
