Parker PT-00132 Flareless Bite-type Tube Union

Product Description

The PARKER PT-00132 is a flareless bite-type tube union fitting designed for use in hydraulic, pneumatic, and fluid-conveyance systems where a reliable, leak-resistant connection is required without flaring the tube end. The bite-type design uses a ferrule that mechanically grips the outer diameter of the tube upon assembly, creating a secure seal. This fitting is suited for installation by licensed HVAC technicians, plumbers, and industrial piping professionals working on high-pressure or close-tolerance tubing runs.

Bite-type tube union fittings are commonly used in residential and light commercial HVAC systems, refrigeration piping, hydraulic control lines, and instrumentation tubing. The union configuration allows technicians to disconnect and reconnect a tubing run at a single point without disturbing the rest of the line, making it a practical choice for service access locations and inline component replacements.

Key Features

• Flareless bite-type design eliminates the need for tube flaring tools during installation
• Union body allows full disconnection of the tubing run at the fitting point
• Compact form factor suitable for tight routing and close-clearance installations
• Sold in a package quantity of 2 units per pack

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or service fitting for tubing systems requiring a flareless union connection; verify tube outside diameter and pressure rating against system specifications before installation.

Installation Notes

Installation is typically performed by licensed HVAC technicians, plumbers, or fluid-systems mechanics familiar with bite-type fitting assembly procedures. De-energize and depressurize the system completely before disassembling any tubing connections. Follow the fitting manufacturer's assembly instructions for ferrule seating — improper torque or re-use of a pre-bitten ferrule can result in leaks. Applicable work must comply with local mechanical codes and relevant ASME or ASTM tubing standards.
