Parker PT-00560 Flareless Bite-type Tube Union 15mm Steel

Product Description

The PARKER PT-00560 is a flareless bite-type tube union designed for straight inline tube connections in high-pressure hydraulic and instrumentation systems. Rated to 400 bar maximum working pressure, this steel union uses a bite-type ferrule design that grips the tube OD without requiring flaring, making it well suited for field assembly and hard-line tubing runs. It accepts 15 mm outside diameter tubing and measures 30 mm in overall length. The 24 mm hex size allows standard wrench engagement during installation. Licensed HVAC technicians, pipefitters, and fluid power mechanics are the typical installers for this fitting class.

This union fitting is used in industrial hydraulic circuits, process instrumentation lines, and mechanical systems where rigid tubing must be joined inline under sustained pressure. Its straight configuration makes it applicable in tight routing scenarios where a union rather than a compression coupling is specified. The steel construction suits it to mineral oil hydraulic fluid service, pneumatic lines, and compatible process media. Package quantity is 2 units per pack.

Key Features

• Flareless bite-type design eliminates the need for tube flaring before assembly
• Rated to 400 bar maximum working pressure for demanding hydraulic applications
• 15 mm tube OD compatibility for metric hard-line tubing
• Steel construction for durability in hydraulic and industrial service
• 24 mm hex size for standard wrench engagement
• Straight union configuration for inline tube-to-tube connections

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or service fitting for metric flareless bite-type tube systems using 15 mm OD rigid tubing in hydraulic and instrumentation applications.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a qualified pipefitter or fluid power technician familiar with bite-type fitting assembly procedures. Depressurize and isolate the hydraulic or pneumatic circuit completely before disassembly or installation. Follow the fitting manufacturer's prescribed number of assembly turns from finger-tight to achieve proper ferrule bite without over-tightening. Do not use with tubing ODs or materials outside the fitting's rated specifications.
