Parker PT-00543 Bite-type Tube 90 Elbow M18x1.5 12mm

Product Description

The PARKER PT-00543 is a flareless bite-type tube 90 degree elbow fitting designed for use in hydraulic and pneumatic tubing systems. The bite-type design uses a ferrule that cuts into the tube wall on tightening, creating a secure, leak-resistant connection without requiring the tube end to be flared. This elbow accepts a 12 mm outside diameter tube and connects to a port or mating fitting with an M18 x 1.5 metric thread. It is a compact 90 degree turn fitting suited for routing tubing in tight spaces. Hydraulic technicians, fluid power mechanics, and industrial maintenance professionals are the primary installers.

This fitting is used in industrial hydraulic and pneumatic systems where metric bite-type fittings are specified. Typical applications include machine tool hydraulics, mobile equipment hydraulic lines, and process fluid systems requiring metric tube connections. The M18 x 1.5 metric thread pattern makes this fitting compatible with metric-threaded ports and manifolds common in European-spec equipment and OEM machinery. It is suited for both new installations and field repair of existing metric tubing runs.

Key Features

• Flareless bite-type design eliminates the need for tube flaring during assembly
• 90 degree elbow configuration for directional tube routing in confined spaces
• 12 mm tube outside diameter acceptance for standard metric tubing
• M18 x 1.5 metric thread for compatibility with metric-ported components
• Compact form factor supports installation in space-restricted hydraulic panels and equipment

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style fitting for hydraulic and pneumatic systems using 12 mm OD metric tubing with M18 x 1.5 threaded ports. No specific model compatibility was provided in the product data.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a qualified hydraulic or fluid power technician. Depressurize and lock out the system fully before removing or installing any fittings. Insert the tube to full depth into the fitting body and tighten the nut to seat the ferrule per the bite-type assembly procedure for the fitting size. Inspect the completed connection for leaks before returning the system to service.
