Parker PT-00587 Bite-type Tube Male Connector M16x1.5

Product Description

The PARKER PT-00587 is a flareless bite-type tube male connector designed for use in hydraulic and instrumentation tubing systems where a reliable, leak-resistant metal-to-tube connection is required without flaring the tube end. The connector accepts a 12 mm outside diameter tube and features an M16x1.5 metric male thread for direct connection to ports or mating fittings. Bite-type fittings work by driving a ferrule into the tube wall during assembly, creating a mechanical grip and seal that holds under pressure and vibration. This fitting is sold in a package quantity of five units.

This connector is suited for use in industrial hydraulic systems, fluid power circuits, and instrumentation lines where metric tubing and metric-threaded ports are specified. It is commonly installed in equipment manufactured to European or international standards where M16x1.5 port threads are standard. Typical applications include machine tool hydraulics, mobile equipment fluid lines, and process instrumentation tubing assemblies. Licensed fluid power specialists and industrial maintenance technicians are the primary installers of this fitting type.

Key Features

• Flareless bite-type design eliminates the need to flare tube ends before assembly
• 12 mm tube outside diameter rating for metric tubing systems
• M16x1.5 metric male thread for direct port or fitting connection
• Ferrule-driven mechanical seal resists vibration and pressure-induced loosening
• Packaged in quantities of five units per package

Compatibility

Designed as a replacement or service fitting for metric hydraulic and instrumentation tubing systems using 12 mm outside diameter tube and M16x1.5 metric male threaded ports. No specific equipment model compatibility was provided in the product data.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by qualified fluid power technicians or industrial maintenance personnel. Depressurize and isolate the hydraulic or fluid circuit completely before removing or installing any fittings. Follow the fitting manufacturer's assembly procedure for bite-type connectors, which typically requires a defined number of turns past finger-tight to seat the ferrule correctly. Verify thread engagement and check for leaks after restoring system pressure.
