Parker PT-00597 Bite-type Male Connector 6mm 1/4 Bspp

Product Description

The PARKER PT-00597 is a flareless bite-type tube male connector designed for use in fluid and pneumatic tubing systems. It accepts a 6 mm outside diameter tube and threads into a 1/4 inch BSPP (British Standard Parallel Pipe) port. The bite-type design uses a ferrule or sleeve that bites into the tube wall on assembly, creating a secure, leak-resistant connection without requiring tube flaring. This fitting is commonly installed by hydraulic, pneumatic, and industrial fluid system technicians in both OEM and MRO applications.

This connector is suited for moderate-pressure hydraulic and pneumatic lines where metric tube sizes are paired with BSPP-threaded equipment or manifolds. Typical install scenarios include European-standard fluid power assemblies, industrial machinery, and compressed air systems. The male BSPP thread seats into a female BSPP port on valves, cylinders, manifolds, or bulkhead fittings. It is sold in packages of 5 units per pack.

Key Features

• Flareless bite-type design eliminates the need for tube flaring before assembly
• 6 mm tube outside diameter for compatibility with metric tubing
• 1/4 inch BSPP male thread for connection to standard BSPP-ported components
• Compact form factor suited for tight-clearance panel or manifold installations
• Packaged in quantities of 5 for convenience on multi-connection jobs

Compatibility

Designed for use with 6 mm outside diameter flareless tubing and components fitted with 1/4 inch BSPP female ports. Verify thread type before installation, as BSPP threads are not interchangeable with NPT or BSPT threads.

Installation Notes

Installation is typically performed by qualified hydraulic or pneumatic technicians. Depressurize and isolate the fluid or air circuit fully before installing or removing any fittings. Inspect tube ends for squareness and burrs prior to assembly, as bite-type ferrules require a clean, undamaged tube end to seat properly. Follow the fitting manufacturer's assembly procedure for ferrule pre-setting and final tightening turns.
