Parker PT-00099 Bite-type Male Connector 1/8 Nptf 3/16 Od

Product Description

The PARKER PT-00099 is a flareless bite-type tube male connector designed for high-pressure hydraulic and instrumentation tubing systems. Machined from steel, it features a straight fitting shape with a 24-degree flared angle and an NPTF threaded end sized at 1/8 inch. The connector accepts 3/16 inch tube OD and delivers a maximum working pressure of 6,000 psi, making it suited for demanding fluid power and pneumatic line applications. With an overall length of 1.09 inches and a hex size of 0.44 inches, the fitting installs cleanly in tight plumbing runs where reliable bite-type tube grip is required. Licensed plumbers, hydraulic technicians, and instrumentation mechanics are the typical installers.

This fitting is used in industrial, commercial, and OEM fluid power assemblies where tube connections must hold rated pressure without flaring the tube end. The bite-type design mechanically deforms the tube ferrule on initial make-up, creating a leak-resistant seal suited for steel tubing in hydraulic lines, pneumatic circuits, and instrumentation manifolds. The NPTF thread form provides a dry-seal mechanical connection when properly torqued into a mating port.

Key Features

• Flareless bite-type design grips 3/16 inch OD steel tube without pre-flaring
• Maximum working pressure rated at 6,000 psi
• 1/8 inch NPTF dry-seal thread for leak-resistant port connections
• Straight fitting shape for in-line tube-to-port routing
• 24-degree flared angle geometry for proper ferrule seating
• Compact overall length of 1.09 inches suits confined installations

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style flareless bite-type male connector for steel tubing systems requiring 3/16 inch OD tube connections at 1/8 inch NPTF ported manifolds or valve bodies.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a qualified hydraulic technician or licensed plumber familiar with flareless tube fitting assembly procedures. Depressurize and isolate the hydraulic or pneumatic circuit completely before disassembly or installation. On initial make-up, the fitting requires a controlled number of turns past finger-tight to set the ferrule bite into the tube wall — follow the fitting manufacturer assembly procedure for proper ferrule pre-set. Do not over-torque the NPTF thread, as this is a dry-seal form that relies on thread interference rather than a sealant bead for leak-free performance.
