Parker 62CA-12 Compression Tube Union Brass

Product Description

The PARKER 62CA-12 is a brass compression tube union designed to join two compression-end tubing runs in a single inline connection. It accepts compression fittings on both ends, creating a leak-resistant joint without soldering, flaring, or welding. Rated to 2800 psi maximum working pressure and suitable for temperatures ranging from -65 degrees F to 250 degrees F, this union is well suited for hydraulic, pneumatic, refrigeration, and fluid transfer lines. Plumbers, HVAC technicians, and pipefitters install this fitting where a removable inline union is needed in copper or compatible tubing systems.

This fitting is used in residential and commercial applications where two sections of tubing must be joined or where future serviceability of the connection is required. Common install scenarios include instrument lines, fuel lines, hydraulic circuits, and refrigerant-adjacent fluid lines. The compression-by-compression end configuration allows field installation without special tooling beyond a wrench, making it practical for tight spaces and retrofit work.

Key Features

• Compression x compression end connections for tool-minimal field assembly
• Brass construction for corrosion resistance in fluid and gas service
• 2800 psi maximum working pressure rating
• Wide temperature range: -65 degrees F to 250 degrees F
• Overall length of 2.2 inches for compact inline installation
• NPTF thread standard compliance

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or service fitting for compression tube union applications in hydraulic, pneumatic, and fluid transfer systems requiring inline tube joining.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by licensed plumbers, HVAC technicians, or qualified pipefitters. Depressurize and drain the line fully before removing or installing any compression fitting. Hand-tighten the compression nut first, then snug with a wrench — avoid over-tightening, which can damage the ferrule and compromise the seal. Follow applicable codes including IFGC and IPC as relevant to the service fluid and pressure rating.
