Parker Tube Fittings Guide Helps Customers Quickly Select Leak-Free Connectors to Save Money with Dry Technology


COLUMBUS, OH - An Industrial Tube Fittings Quick Reference Guide (Bulletin 4300-QRG) is available from Parker Hannifin Corporation, the global leader in motion and control technologies, to aid OEM and MRO customers in determining the best leak-free hydraulic connections for their application.

The eight-panel, full-color guide is three-hole punched for easy inclusion in any binder as a foldout directory to the Tube Fittings Division's SAE/NPT and Metric fittings and adapters. Precision-made fittings, forged from the best available materials, were among the first products Parker manufactured. Each incorporates more than 50 years of design and engineering expertise.

Parker Dry Technology can save customers thousands of dollars each year. Even small drips can become big expenditures. A fitting that leaks one drop every second will pour out 402 gallons per year. This equates to $2,010 of wasted hydraulic fluid (based on 24-hours-a-day runtime and $5 per gallon), according to the company.

The Quick Reference Guide also presents an array of tube cutting, bending, deburring, presetting, flaring and flanging tools as well as thread I.D. kits. Detailed ordering instructions are provided along with complete U.S. and Canadian contact information for Parker's Fluid Connectors Group.

To request the Industrial Tube Fittings Quick Reference Guide, call 800.C.PARKER or visit www.parker.com/tfd to download Bulletin 4300-QRG.
