Parker PT-00098 Bite-type Male Connector 1/8 Nptf

Product Description

The PARKER PT-00098 is a flareless bite-type tube male connector designed for hard-line tubing installations where a reliable, leak-resistant compression-style connection is required without flaring the tube end. The fitting accepts 1/8 inch outside diameter tubing and threads into a 1/8 inch NPTF port. The bite-type design uses a ferrule that bites into the tube wall on assembly, creating a metal-to-metal seal that holds under pressure and vibration. This type of fitting is commonly installed by hydraulic technicians, industrial maintenance mechanics, and fluid power specialists working on instrumentation, control lines, and low-flow hydraulic or pneumatic circuits.

This male connector is suited for use in compact fluid power and instrumentation systems where space is limited and tubing runs connect directly to threaded ports on valves, manifolds, pumps, or panel-mount components. The 1/8 inch NPTF thread provides a pressure-tight mechanical seal at the port without relying solely on a thread sealant, making it appropriate for both hydraulic and pneumatic service lines in industrial and light commercial applications.

Key Features

• Flareless bite-type design eliminates the need to flare tubing before assembly
• 1/8 inch NPTF male thread delivers a pressure-tight port connection
• Accepts 1/8 inch OD tubing for compact line routing
• Metal-to-metal ferrule bite creates a vibration-resistant seal
• Sold in a package quantity of 5 units per order

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style flareless bite-type fitting for use with 1/8 inch OD tubing connecting to 1/8 inch NPTF threaded ports in hydraulic, pneumatic, and instrumentation plumbing systems.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a qualified hydraulic or pneumatic technician familiar with bite-type fitting assembly procedures. De-pressurize and isolate the circuit completely before disassembly or installation. Use appropriate thread sealant or PTFE tape on NPTF threads per system fluid and pressure requirements, following applicable industry standards. Do not over-tighten the fitting nut, as excessive torque can damage the ferrule or tube end and compromise the seal.
