Parker 62VL-8 Brass Compression Tube Union 250 Psi

Product Description

The PARKER 62VL-8 is a brass compression tube union designed to join two compression-end tubing runs in a single straight fitting. It uses Parker's Vibra-Lok compression style, which provides a secure, vibration-resistant connection without soldering or special tools. Rated to a maximum working pressure of 250 psi, this union is built for demanding service in fluid and gas distribution lines. The all-brass construction resists corrosion and withstands the mechanical stress common in close-clearance installations. Plumbers, HVAC technicians, and refrigeration mechanics typically install this fitting when connecting or repairing tubing runs that require a removable, leak-tight union joint.

The 62VL-8 is suited for residential and light commercial plumbing, HVAC refrigerant piping, pneumatic lines, and instrumentation tubing where compression fittings are the specified connection method. The Vibra-Lok compression design is particularly well suited to installations subject to vibration or thermal cycling, where a conventional ferrule-style fitting may loosen over time. Both ends accept compression tubing, making this a symmetric union that simplifies installation in tight or confined spaces.

Key Features

• Vibra-Lok compression style for vibration-resistant, tool-optional assembly
• Maximum working pressure of 250 psi
• Brass construction for corrosion resistance and durability
• Compression x Compression end connections — no soldering required
• Symmetric union design simplifies alignment in confined installations

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or new-installation compression tube union suitable for plumbing, HVAC, pneumatic, and instrumentation tubing systems that specify compression-style fittings.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by licensed plumbers or qualified HVAC and refrigeration technicians. Shut off the fluid or gas supply and relieve system pressure completely before disassembling or installing any compression fitting. Follow applicable codes including IPC and IFGC for plumbing and gas piping applications. Do not overtighten compression nuts — snug to hand-tight plus a controlled fraction of a turn with a wrench is the standard practice for compression fittings, and overtightening can deform the ferrule and cause leaks.
