Parker Fittings Explained: Vibra Seal
This entry was posted on April 21, 2016
.Vibra Seal is a factory applied pipe sealant for tapered pipe threads. It is a tough, non-hardening sealant engineered to be pre-applied to parts.
Adding VS as a prefix to a Parker Brass Division part number adds the Vibra Seal option. For example, a 1204P-4 90 Degree Male Elbow, 1/4" NPT Male x 1/4" Male, with the Vibra Seal option becomes part number VS1204P-4. A 216P-4 Hex Nipple, 1/4" NPT Male x 1/4" Male, with the Vibra Seal option becomes part number VS216P-4.
Adding VS as a suffix to a Parker Tube Fitting or Hose Division part number adds the Vibra Seal option. Most fittings that are available with the Vibra Seal option are not stocked, so lead times can be several weeks. In cases where waiting isn’t an option, a standard fitting may be substituted with a liquid thread sealant applied in the field.
