3. Setup and Installation
Proper installation is crucial for the performance and longevity of the Parker 6606 25 00 Tube Fitting. Follow these steps carefully:
- Preparation: Ensure all components are clean and free from debris. Verify that the tube ends are properly cut and deburred.
- Component Assembly: Slide the nut, then the back ferrule, and finally the front ferrule onto the tube. Ensure the ferrules are oriented correctly.
- Tube Insertion: Insert the tube into the fitting body until it bottoms out.
- Nut Tightening: While holding the fitting body steady, tighten the nut finger-tight. Then, using a wrench, tighten the nut 1-1/4 turns past finger-tight for sizes 1/4" to 1" (or equivalent for 25mm). For larger sizes, consult specific Parker torque specifications.
- Inspection: Visually inspect the connection for proper alignment and tightness.
Warning:
- Do not overtighten the nut, as this can damage the fitting or tube.
- Do not use damaged components.
- Ensure compatibility with the fluid system pressure and temperature ratings.

4. Operating Guidelines
Once installed, the Parker 6606 25 00 Tube Fitting operates passively as a connection point within a fluid system. No active operation or user interaction is required from the fitting itself during system operation.
Ensure the system pressure and temperature remain within the specified limits for the fitting and the overall system. Regular monitoring of the system for leaks or anomalies is recommended to maintain optimal performance and safety.
5. Maintenance
The Parker 6606 25 00 Tube Fitting is designed for long-term reliability with minimal maintenance. However, periodic checks are recommended to ensure continued integrity of the fluid system:
- Visual Inspection: Regularly inspect the fitting for any signs of corrosion, physical damage, or leaks. Look for discoloration, cracks, or drips around the connection points.
- Leak Detection: If a leak is suspected, immediately depressurize the system before attempting any inspection or repair. Do not attempt to overtighten a leaking fitting; instead, disassemble, inspect components for damage (e.g., deformed ferrules, scratched tube), and reassemble with new components if necessary.
- Cleaning: If cleaning is required, use a soft cloth and a mild, non-abrasive cleaner. Avoid harsh chemicals, solvents, or abrasive materials that could damage the fitting's surface or material properties.
Caution:
- Always depressurize the system completely before performing any maintenance, disassembly, or reassembly of the fitting.
- Replace damaged components with genuine Parker parts to ensure system integrity and performance.
