Parker's 24° Flareless tube fittings, Ferulok, have a visible bite which allows the fitting assembler to visually inspect the bite quality, which significantly minimizes the risk of improper assembly and related service problems in hydraulic connections. The rear compression grip of the ferrule firmly holds the nut and tubing, dampening the effects of vibration and extending the life of the joint. Exceeding the requirements of SAE J514, Ferulok Flareless fittings are especially suitable for use with applications requiring tube wall thicknesses ranging from medium to extra heavy.

Features/Benefits:

• Hardened ferrule creates a visible heavy bite so no inspecting gauges are required.

• Compression grip at rear of ferrule dampens the effects of vibration which extends the life of the joint in rigorous applications.

• Especially suitable for use with tube wall thickness ranging from medium to heavy

• Metal-to-metal sealing makes it suitable for a broad range of temperature and media types.

• Parker’s Robust Port Stud on adjustable ports is manufactured with a longer locknut virtually eliminating washer damage and potential leaks, as well as making assembly virtually mistake-proof. This feature improves customer internal efficiencies and reduces rework costs resulting from backup washer damage commonly seen with traditional SAE adjustable port ends in the market.

• Steel fittings come standard with ToughShield Plus plating which substantially exceeds the SAE corrosion hour requirements for red rust, lasting up to 3,000 hours without red rust as found by an independent test facility (tested to ASTM B117/ISO 9227). This enhanced performance provides customers with a competitive advantage through less downtime and extended equipment life, leading to increased revenues and reduced warranty costs.

• No special tooling is required for smaller sizes of Ferulok which can be assembled by wrench for sizes up to 3/4".

• Stainless Steel nuts have a coating to prevent galling.

• Offered in steel and stainless steel in sizes: 1/8" through 2" with working pressures up to 6000 psi.

Applications:

• Hydraulic fluid and gas handling connections
