Mechanical Crimp Connection
for piping or tube systems saves the time and costs of welding
PRODUCT SPOTLIGHT
The Latest From Parker, Your Fitting Authority.
For today’s piping or tube assemblies,
Parker’s Mechanical Crimp Connection
(
MCC) eliminates time-consuming,
costly welding – and ensures reliable,
leak-free performance.
MCC consists of a simple hydraulic
assembly tool, specially designed
bite ring and adapters. The bite ring
attaches to the pipe or tube and secures
the adapter. Internal seals in the MCC
adapter ensure a leak-free connection
and protect against ingression.
Assembly welding processes, from
pre-cleaning to x-rays to post-cleaning,
reduce valuable equipment uptime and
require more labor. By comparison,
MCC enables remarkably quick, easy

for fast and accurate crimping
With Parker's horizontal crimper, anyone can
make factory quality assemblies quickly, easily
and cost effectively. An MCC assembly can be
crimped within five minutes!
mechanical crimping of adapters to
tube or piping. A 1" heavy- scheduled
stainless steel pipe, for example, can
take more than 30 minutes to weld and
clean if all the steps are followed. An
MCC assembly can be crimped within
five minutes!
In the shop or the field, MCC also
eliminates a key failure mode of
welding: weld cracks, which can form
while the weld is hot or while it is
cooling, or due to fatigue or corrosion.

Sizes and Configurations
Parker MCC achieves NPS and tube
assemblies in the most common
welded sizes, ranging from 1" to 2".
Whether your system is transferring
fluid at lower pressures or operating
at high dynamic hydraulic pressures,
MCC offers a working pressure
capability up to 6000 psi for many
applications.
MCC adapters are offered in
steel (Chrome 6 Free plated) and
316
stainless steel. Multiple end
configurations including code 61/62,
male and female O-ring face seal,
male and female 37° flare, and male
and female NPT are available to ensure
system compliance with SAE and/or
ISO standards. MCC also offers
full-range interchangeability with
Parker Tube Fittings Division’s
extensive product lines, covering
SAE and ISO specifications such as
SAE J514, SAE J1453, and ISO 6162.
Ideal for a wide range of applications
in industrial processing, construction,
large mobile, oil and gas operations,
and more, MCC gets equipment up
and running sooner – and potentially
much longer, thanks to Parker’s
decades of global leadership in
Dry Technology. For all of the
