Global Inch and Metric Fittings - 56 Series
Parflex® has expanded the Fitting Section to include the new and improved Global 56 Series, which consolidates the 55 Series and the 58 Series into one, reducing customer inventory and creating an easy to choose product range. The 56 Series is shorter and more compact than the 55/58 Series Fittings, allowing for a system weight reduction of up to 20% and easier routing of assemblies during installation in tight, condensed spaces. In addition, the crimping process for the 56 Series is simpler, faster and safer since the sleeve is crimped at full length; therefore, no marking is necessary. Current 55 Series dies are qualified for use with the 56 Series. Review the Product Support tab for a list of hoses that accept 56 Series fittings.
