Parker 62VL-5 Compression Tube Union 5/16 Inch Brass

Product Description

The PARKER 62VL-5 is a brass compression tube union designed to join two lengths of tubing with matching compression fittings on both ends. This union provides a leak-resistant, reusable connection without the need for soldering or brazing. It is rated for up to 500 psi working pressure, making it suitable for hydraulic, pneumatic, fuel, and instrumentation line applications. The all-brass construction offers reliable corrosion resistance in a wide range of service environments. Licensed plumbers, HVAC technicians, and instrumentation specialists install this fitting during new piping runs and repair work where tube continuity must be restored.

This compression union is sized for 5/16-inch outside diameter tubing and is used in residential and light commercial systems where compression-style fittings are specified. Common applications include refrigeration line sets, hydraulic control tubing, fuel supply lines, and instrumentation tubing runs. The compression x compression configuration makes it well suited for in-line splicing in tight spaces where torch access is restricted or prohibited.

Key Features

• Compression x compression end connections for tool-accessible, no-solder installation
• 500 psi maximum working pressure rating
• 5/16-inch outside diameter tube compatibility
• Brass construction for corrosion resistance in fuel, water, and pneumatic service
• Reusable fitting design allows disassembly and reconnection during service

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or new-installation fitting for systems using 5/16-inch outside diameter compression tubing.

Installation Notes

This fitting is installed by licensed plumbers, HVAC technicians, or instrumentation mechanics working on tubing systems. Shut off all fluid or gas supply and relieve system pressure before disassembling or installing any compression fitting. Ensure tubing ends are cut square, deburred, and clean before seating the ferrule and nut. Follow applicable sections of the IPC, IFGC, or NEC as required by system type and local jurisdiction.
