The advantages of Parker Legris fittings

Faster and easier installation

One of the biggest challenges in truck and trailer maintenance is installation time. Parker Legris fittings feature push-to-connect technology, allowing for quick assembly without tools. This means less downtime and more productivity.

Long-lasting performance

Legris fittings are made from high-quality materials such as brass, stainless steel, and high-performance polymers. They are designed to withstand:

  • Extreme temperatures (-40°C to +100°C)
  • High pressures (up to 25 bar)
  • Vibrations and mechanical stress

Enhanced safety & leak-free sealing

Safety is critical in truck and trailer operations. Parker Legris fittings come with encapsulated O-rings that provide a secure, leak-free seal, even under high vibration conditions. Plus, the stainless steel gripping ring ensures positive tube retention, reducing the risk of disconnections.

Lightweight & compact design

Reducing vehicle weight can lead to better fuel efficiency and lower operational costs. Parker Legris fittings are made with lightweight polymers, helping to cut down unnecessary weight without compromising strength.

Compliance with industry standards

All Parker Legris fittings adhere to strict industry regulations, such as:
