Parker PT-00540 Bite-type Tube 90 Elbow M12x1.5 6mm

Product Description

The PARKER PT-00540 is a flareless bite-type tube 90 degree elbow fitting designed for use in hydraulic and pneumatic tubing systems. It accepts a 6 mm outside diameter tube and connects via an M12x1.5 metric thread. The bite-type design uses a ferrule that deforms around the tube on installation, creating a secure, leak-resistant seal without requiring the tube end to be flared. This fitting is commonly installed by hydraulic technicians and fluid-power mechanics working on industrial equipment, mobile machinery, and process control systems where metric tubing is standard.

This elbow is suited for applications requiring a 90 degree directional change in a tubing run where space constraints prevent a straight fitting. Typical installations include hydraulic control circuits, pneumatic instrument lines, and fluid transfer assemblies using 6 mm metric tube. The M12x1.5 metric thread mates with standard metric ports found on valves, manifolds, cylinders, and other fluid-power components common in European-specification and metric-standard equipment.

Key Features

• Bite-type flareless design eliminates the need for tube end flaring before assembly
• 90 degree elbow geometry allows directional routing in tight installations
• 6 mm tube OD acceptance suits standard metric small-bore tubing
• M12x1.5 metric thread provides compatibility with metric-ported components
• Compact form factor suitable for space-restricted fluid-power assemblies

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or service fitting for hydraulic and pneumatic systems using 6 mm outside diameter metric tubing and M12x1.5 metric-threaded ports.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a qualified hydraulic or fluid-power technician. Depressurize and isolate the system completely before removing or installing any fittings. Ensure the tube end is cleanly cut and deburred before inserting it into the fitting body. Follow the fitting manufacturer torque and assembly procedure for bite-type ferrule compression to achieve a proper seal without over-tightening.
