Parker PT-00636 Bite-type Tube Male Connector 10mm 3/8 Npt

Product Description

The PARKER PT-00636 is a flareless bite-type tube male connector designed for high-pressure hydraulic and instrumentation tubing systems. It accepts a 10 mm tube outside diameter and threads into a 3/8 NPT port using a straight fitting configuration. Constructed from steel, this connector uses a bite-type ferrule mechanism that grips and seals the tube without requiring a flared end, making it well suited for field assembly and systems where consistent, leak-free connections under high pressure are critical. Rated to 630 bar maximum working pressure, it is built for demanding industrial and fluid-power applications where reliability under pressure cycles is a primary concern.

This connector is used in hydraulic systems, pneumatic circuits, and high-pressure instrumentation lines where NPT-threaded ports and metric tubing must be joined. Typical installation scenarios include industrial machinery, mobile equipment hydraulics, and process control instrumentation. The straight male configuration allows direct port entry, and the 10 mm tube OD sizing fits standard metric tubing used across a wide range of European-spec and metric-designed systems.

Key Features

• Flareless bite-type design eliminates the need for pre-flaring tube ends
• Rated to 630 bar maximum working pressure for high-pressure hydraulic service
• 3/8 NPT male thread for compatibility with standard NPT-threaded ports
• Accepts 10 mm outside diameter metric tubing
• Steel construction for strength and durability in demanding fluid-power environments
• Straight fitting shape simplifies inline port connections

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or service fitting for high-pressure hydraulic and instrumentation systems using 10 mm OD metric tubing and 3/8 NPT port connections.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a qualified hydraulic technician or pipefitter familiar with bite-type fitting assembly procedures. Depressurize and isolate the hydraulic circuit completely before removing or installing any fittings. Ensure tube ends are cut square and deburred before inserting into the fitting body. Follow the fitting manufacturer's assembly instructions for ferrule pre-setting to achieve a proper bite and seal.
