Parker PT-00550 Bite-type 90 Elbow M20x1.5 12mm Tube Od

Product Description

The PARKER PT-00550 is a flareless bite-type tube 90 degree elbow fitting designed for use in hydraulic and instrumentation tubing systems. This metric fitting accepts a 12 mm outside diameter tube and uses an M20x1.5 metric thread, making it suitable for connecting tubing runs that require a right-angle change in direction without the need for flared tube ends. The bite-type design uses a ferrule that cuts into the tube wall on assembly, creating a secure, leak-resistant connection. Installation is typically performed by licensed fluid system technicians or journeyman pipefitters working on industrial or mobile hydraulic circuits.

This fitting is used in applications where metric tube routing requires a 90 degree directional change in a confined space. The flareless bite-type configuration is common in hydraulic power units, machine tool plumbing, instrumentation lines, and mobile equipment fluid circuits. The M20x1.5 metric thread mates with corresponding metric-threaded ports or adapters. Its compact elbow geometry makes it well suited for tight panel or manifold installations where straight fittings would not clear adjacent components.

• 12 mm tube outside diameter compatibility for metric tubing systems
• M20x1.5 metric thread for direct connection to metric-ported components
• Sold in a package quantity of 5 units per package

Compatibility

Designed for use with 12 mm outside diameter metric tubing in flareless bite-type hydraulic and instrumentation fitting systems using M20x1.5 metric threaded connections. No specific model or system compatibility was provided in the product data.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a qualified pipefitter or hydraulic systems technician familiar with bite-type ferrule fittings. Depressurize and fully isolate the fluid system before disassembly or fitting installation. Follow the fitting manufacturer assembly procedure for ferrule pre-setting and final tightening turns to avoid under- or over-engagement of the bite ring. Verify thread engagement and torque per applicable system design specifications before returning the system to pressure.
