Parker 10 Stx-s Steel Male Branch Tee 5/8 in Od 37 Flare

Product Description

The PARKER 10 STX-S is a steel male branch tee fitting designed for flared tube connections in high-pressure hydraulic and fluid power systems. It features a 37-degree flare angle with Flare x MNPTF end connections, 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 is suited for demanding industrial and mobile equipment applications. The steel construction provides durability under cyclic pressure conditions. Licensed trades and fluid power technicians install this fitting in tubing assemblies where a branch takeoff from a main line is required.

This fitting is used in hydraulic tubing systems, fluid power circuits, and pneumatic assemblies where a 5/8 inch OD tube must branch off at a male NPTF threaded port. Typical install scenarios include mobile hydraulic equipment, industrial machinery, and OEM fluid system fabrication. The 37-degree flare connection style is common in SAE-standard hydraulic tube assemblies. It is sold individually, making it practical for single-fitting replacement or small-run fabrication work.

Key Features

• 37-degree flare angle meets SAE J514 and ISO 8434-2 standards
• Steel construction rated to 5000 psi maximum working pressure
• Maximum working temperature of 500 degrees F (260 degrees C)
• Flare x MNPTF end connections for tube-to-port branch applications
• NPTF thread standard for pressure-tight mechanical seal
• Overall length of 2.9 inches for compact inline branch routing

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or new-installation fitting for hydraulic and fluid power tube assemblies using 5/8 inch OD tubing with 37-degree SAE flare connections and male NPTF threaded ports.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a qualified fluid power technician or pipefitter. Depressurize and isolate the hydraulic or fluid circuit completely before removing or installing any fitting. Use appropriate flaring tools to ensure the tube end meets SAE 37-degree flare geometry before assembly. Follow SAE J514 assembly torque guidelines and applicable system codes for tube fitting connections.
