Parker PT-00609 Bite-type Male Connector 15mm 3/8 Bspt

Product Description

The PARKER PT-00609 is a flareless bite-type tube male connector designed for use in hydraulic and fluid-transfer line assemblies. Bite-type fittings use a ferrule that bites into the tube wall on assembly, eliminating the need to flare the tubing before installation. This connector accepts a 15 mm tube outside diameter and threads into a 3/8 BSPT female port. It is sized for metric tubing and is installed by licensed plumbers, pipefitters, and industrial maintenance technicians working on fluid-power or process-piping systems.

This fitting is suited for residential and commercial fluid-system applications where metric tubing connects to BSPT-ported components such as valves, manifolds, pumps, and actuators. The 3/8 BSPT male thread conforms to the British Standard Pipe Taper profile, making it a common fit in systems designed to ISO or British fluid-power standards. This connector is typically found in hydraulic circuits, pneumatic lines, and general process-fluid plumbing where a reliable tube-to-port transition is needed.

Key Features

• Flareless bite-type design eliminates pre-flaring of tubing before assembly
• 15 mm tube outside diameter accommodates standard metric tubing
• 3/8 BSPT male thread for connection to British Standard Pipe Taper ports
• Male connector configuration provides a direct tube-to-port transition
• Packaged quantity of 2 per pack with a minimum order quantity of 1

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or service fitting for fluid-power and process-piping assemblies that use 15 mm OD metric tubing with 3/8 BSPT ported components.

Installation Notes

Installation is typically performed by a licensed pipefitter or hydraulic technician. Depressurize and fully isolate the fluid system before removing or installing any fittings. Confirm that the mating port thread profile is BSPT, not NPT, as the two thread forms are not interchangeable despite similar sizing. Use appropriate thread sealant rated for the system fluid and pressure, and verify ferrule seating per the fitting manufacturer's assembly procedure.
