Parker PT-00510 Bite-type Swivel Connector 12mm 3/8 Bspp

Product Description

The PARKER PT-00510 is a flareless bite-type tube swivel connector designed for use in hydraulic and fluid distribution lines. It accepts a 12 mm tube outside diameter and terminates with a 3/8 BSPP (British Standard Pipe Parallel) thread. The bite-type design eliminates the need for tube flaring during assembly, with the ferrule biting into the tube wall to create a reliable, leak-resistant seal. This connector type is commonly installed by hydraulic technicians, industrial mechanics, and fluid system specialists working on equipment that requires a swiveling end connection to reduce assembly stress and accommodate angled line routing.

The PT-00510 suits hydraulic and pneumatic fluid systems where a swivel connector is needed to ease tube positioning and prevent torque transfer to the tubing during tightening. It is applicable in mobile equipment, machine tool, and industrial fluid power installations where BSPP thread ports are standard. The flareless bite-type configuration is common in European-spec and international equipment where metric tube sizing and BSPP port threads are the norm.

Key Features

• Flareless bite-type design eliminates tube flaring for faster assembly
• Swivel end allows tube positioning adjustment and reduces assembly torque on the tubing
• 12 mm tube outside diameter compatibility suits metric fluid line configurations
• 3/8 BSPP thread provides a parallel-thread port connection common in international hydraulic systems
• Compact form factor suited for installations with limited space around the port

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or service fitting for hydraulic and fluid power systems using 12 mm OD metric tubing and 3/8 BSPP threaded port connections.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a qualified hydraulic or fluid system technician familiar with bite-type fitting assembly procedures. Depressurize and isolate the hydraulic or fluid circuit completely before removing or installing any fittings. Hand-tighten the fitting to seat it properly, then advance to the manufacturer-recommended engagement per your system's assembly specifications. Inspect the tube end for burrs or damage before insertion to ensure a proper ferrule bite and leak-free seal.
