Flareless Bite - Type Adapters
Hufco carries a vast selection of Parker’s Ferulok fittings, also known as flareless bite-type fittings. The Ferulok fitting design and performance capabilities far exceed the strict requirements of SAE and military standards. The Ferulok fitting is a flareless hydraulic fitting that consists of a body, a one-piece precision machined ferrule, and a nut with an anti-galling agent.
On assembly, the ferrule “bites” into the outer surface of the tube with sufficient strength to hold the tube against pressure, without significant distortion of the inside tube diameter. The ferrule also forms a pressure seal against the fitting body. Ferulok fittings allow the fitting assembler to visually inspect the bite quality, thus significantly minimizing the risk of improper assembly and related service problems.
Ferulok’s robust construction and proven sealing characteristics have gained it worldwide popularity in diverse markets and applications. Call Hufco for more information on how a flareless bite-type (Ferulok) fitting can help you get the job done right!
