Parker 62PTC-8 Push-to-connect Union 1/2 Inch Od Brass

Product Description

The PARKER 62PTC-8 is a push-to-connect tube union fitting designed to join two tube ends in pneumatic and air brake systems without tools or thread preparation. Constructed from brass, it accepts 1/2 inch outside diameter tubing and holds a maximum working pressure of 250 psi. The fitting uses a nitrile O-ring seal and is rated for service from -40 degrees F to 200 degrees F. Its push-to-connect design allows fast, repeatable connections in high-cycle service environments. Licensed HVAC, automotive, and fleet maintenance technicians install this fitting in DOT-regulated air brake circuits where quick assembly and reliable sealing are required.

The PARKER 62PTC-8 is designated as a DOT air brake fitting, meeting D.O.T. FMVSS571.106, SAE J2494, and SAE J2494-3 standards. It is appropriate for tube-to-tube union applications in commercial vehicle air brake lines, pneumatic control circuits, and other compressed-air plumbing systems where DOT-compliant fittings are required. The fitting is sold individually and ships as a single unit.

Key Features

• Push-to-connect design — no tools required for tube insertion
• Brass construction for corrosion resistance in pneumatic service
• Nitrile O-ring seal for reliable air-tight performance
• 250 psi maximum working pressure rating
• Wide temperature range: -40 degrees F to 200 degrees F
• DOT-compliant — meets FMVSS571.106, SAE J2494, and SAE J2494-3

Compatibility

Designed for 1/2 inch OD tubing in DOT-regulated air brake and pneumatic tube-to-tube union applications on commercial vehicles and compressed-air systems requiring FMVSS571.106 and SAE J2494 compliance.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by qualified technicians familiar with DOT air brake system regulations. Before servicing any air brake line, depressurize the system completely and verify zero line pressure with a gauge. Ensure tubing ends are cut square, deburred, and clean before insertion into the fitting. Follow all applicable DOT and SAE service procedures for air brake circuit assembly and inspection.
