Parker 62CA-8-6 Compression Tube Union Brass

Product Description

The PARKER 62CA-8-6 is a brass compression tube union designed to join two compression-end tubing runs in a single inline fitting. It provides a leak-resistant mechanical connection without soldering or threading, making it a common choice in refrigeration, HVAC, and plumbing systems where quick, reliable tube joining is required. Rated to 1000 psi maximum working pressure and capable of handling temperatures from -65 degrees F to 250 degrees F, this union suits a broad range of fluid and gas service applications. Licensed plumbers, HVAC technicians, and pipefitters install this type of fitting during new construction, system modifications, and tubing repairs.

This compression tube union is suited for residential and light commercial applications where inline tube connections are needed in copper or compatible soft-metal tubing runs. It is commonly used in hydronic heating lines, refrigerant-side plumbing, potable water systems, and instrumentation lines. The compression x compression end configuration allows both sides of the union to connect without heat, flux, or thread sealant, which makes it practical in confined spaces or in systems where open-flame work is restricted.

Key Features

• Compression x compression end connections on both sides for tool-assisted, no-solder joining
• Brass construction offers corrosion resistance in water, refrigerant, and light gas service
• 1000 psi maximum working pressure supports demanding fluid system requirements
• Wide temperature range of -65 degrees F to 250 degrees F covers most HVAC and plumbing service conditions
• Inline union configuration simplifies tubing repairs and mid-run connections

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style compression tube union for use in HVAC, plumbing, and refrigeration tubing systems utilizing standard compression-end fittings.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a licensed plumber or HVAC technician following applicable IPC or IFGC code requirements for the service type. Shut off and depressurize the system completely before cutting into any tubing run. Ensure tubing ends are cut square, deburred, and free of burrs or debris before seating the compression ferrule to achieve a proper seal. Do not over-tighten the compression nut, as this can deform the ferrule and compromise the joint.
