Parker PT-00435 Bite-type Tube Male Connector 8mm 1/4 Bspt

Product Description

The PARKER PT-00435 is a flareless bite-type tube male connector designed for secure, leak-resistant tube-to-port connections in hydraulic and pneumatic fluid systems. The bite-type design uses a ferrule that bites into the outer wall of the tube during assembly, eliminating the need to flare the tubing end before installation. This connector features an 8 mm tube outside diameter and a 1/4 BSPT male thread. It is commonly installed by hydraulic system technicians, instrumentation specialists, and industrial plumbers working on high-pressure fluid lines where a reliable, vibration-resistant joint is required.

This fitting is suited for use in industrial fluid power systems, instrumentation lines, and process piping where metric tube sizing and BSPT threaded ports are standard. The 1/4 BSPT thread pattern is common in European and Asian equipment designs, making this connector a practical choice for OEM service work, field repairs, and new installations on imported machinery or systems built to ISO or BSP standards. Each package contains 4 connectors.

Key Features

• Flareless bite-type design — no tube flaring required before assembly
• 8 mm tube outside diameter for metric tubing compatibility
• 1/4 BSPT male thread for direct port connection to BSP-threaded components
• Ferrule bites into tube wall to form a secure, vibration-resistant seal
• Sold in a package quantity of 4 connectors per pack

Compatibility

Designed for use with 8 mm outside diameter tubing in systems with 1/4 BSPT threaded ports. Typical fitment includes hydraulic, pneumatic, and instrumentation systems utilizing metric tubing and BSP threaded connections.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a qualified hydraulic or pneumatic technician familiar with bite-type fitting assembly procedures. Depressurize and isolate the system completely before removing any existing fittings or installing new ones. Ensure the tube end is cut square and deburred before insertion into the fitting body to allow the ferrule to seat correctly. Do not over-tighten — follow the fitting manufacturer's recommended flat-turn method for bite-type ferrule engagement.
