Parker PT-00160 Flareless Bite-type Tube Ferrule 1 in Od

Product Description

The PARKER PT-00160 is a flareless bite-type tube ferrule designed for use in compression-style tube fittings where a reliable, leak-resistant seal is required without flaring the tubing end. When the fitting is assembled and torqued, the ferrule bites into the outer wall of the tube, creating a mechanical grip and fluid seal in a single operation. This ferrule accommodates a 1-inch tube outside diameter and is suited for hydraulic, pneumatic, and fluid-transfer line assemblies. Licensed trades working on industrial, commercial HVAC, and refrigeration piping systems commonly install these components during new construction or repair work.

This ferrule is used in flareless fitting assemblies on tubing runs where vibration resistance and secure mechanical connection are priorities. Typical applications include hydraulic control lines, instrumentation tubing, and commercial refrigeration or chiller piping where tube flaring is not practical or specified. The part is sold in a package quantity of 5, making it appropriate for multi-connection jobs or bench stock replenishment.

Key Features

• Bite-type design creates a mechanical seal by deforming into the tube OD during assembly — no flaring required
• 1-inch tube outside diameter fitment
• Sold in a 5-piece package, suitable for stocking multiple connection points
• Flareless design reduces installation steps in tight or field-fabricated tubing runs
• UNSPSC Code 27121700 — classified under fluid and gas distribution fittings

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style flareless bite-type ferrule for use with compatible Parker flareless fitting bodies and nuts sized for 1-inch tube outside diameter in hydraulic, pneumatic, and fluid-transfer piping assemblies.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by qualified pipefitters, hydraulic technicians, or licensed HVAC-R mechanics. Depressurize and isolate the line completely before disassembling any fitting. Follow the fitting manufacturer's assembly procedure for bite-type ferrules, as over- or under-tightening will affect seal integrity. Refer to applicable system codes such as ASME B31.1 or B31.3 for pressure piping installations.
