Parker 10 Ftx-s Steel Flared Tube Connector 5/8 in 1/2-14 Npt

Product Description

The PARKER 10 FTX-S is a steel straight thread connector designed for flared tube hydraulic and fluid system connections. It joins a 5/8 inch OD flared tube to a 1/2-14 Male NPT port using a 37-degree flare angle, conforming to SAE J514 and ISO 8434-2 standards. Rated for a maximum working pressure of 5000 psi and a maximum working temperature of 500 degrees F, this fitting handles demanding industrial and fluid power applications. It is installed by licensed plumbers, pipefitters, and hydraulic system technicians working on high-pressure fluid lines.

This connector is suited for use in hydraulic systems, fluid transfer lines, and industrial piping where a flared tube must terminate at an NPT-ported component such as a valve, pump, or manifold. The 37-degree flare configuration is standard in hydraulic and refrigeration-adjacent plumbing applications and is commonly used in both stationary and mobile equipment installations. The compact overall length of 1.89 inches makes it practical for tight plumbing runs and panel-mount applications.

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or new-installation fitting for hydraulic and fluid power systems requiring a 5/8 inch OD 37-degree flared tube connection to a 1/2-14 Male NPT port.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a qualified pipefitter, plumber, or hydraulic technician. Depressurize and isolate the fluid circuit completely before removing or installing any fitting. Use appropriate flaring tools to achieve a clean 37-degree flare seat before assembly; inspect the flare for cracks or distortion prior to tightening. Follow applicable IFGC, IPC, or system-specific torque and pressure testing procedures after installation.
