Parker 12-16 Clo-s Male Elbow 3/4 in Od Orfs X Nptf 3000 Psi

Product Description

The PARKER 12-16 CLO-S is a compression tube male elbow fitting designed to connect 3/4-inch OD tubing to a male NPTF port using an O-Ring Face Seal (ORFS) interface on the tube side. Constructed from zinc-plated steel, this fitting resists corrosion in demanding hydraulic and fluid power environments. It is rated to 3000 psi working pressure, making it suitable for medium- to high-pressure hydraulic lines. The 90-degree elbow configuration allows for directional routing of tubing in tight or confined spaces. Licensed plumbers, hydraulic technicians, and fluid power specialists are the primary installers of this fitting in both industrial and mobile equipment applications.

This fitting is commonly used in hydraulic systems, fluid power assemblies, and related plumbing configurations where a tube-to-port transition with a leak-resistant O-ring face seal is required. The NPTF male thread end creates a dry-seal connection to tapered pipe thread ports found on valves, manifolds, cylinders, and pumps. It is suitable for use in both stationary industrial equipment and mobile hydraulic machinery where reliable, vibration-resistant connections are critical.

Key Features

• ORFS x NPTF end connections provide a reliable, leak-resistant tube-to-port transition
• Zinc-plated steel construction offers corrosion resistance in hydraulic environments
• 3000 psi maximum working pressure rating for medium- to high-pressure hydraulic service
• 90-degree male elbow geometry aids tubing routing in confined installations
• Compatible with 3/4-inch OD compression tube connections

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or new-installation fitting for hydraulic and fluid power systems requiring a 3/4-inch OD compression tube connection to a male NPTF port with an O-Ring Face Seal interface.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a qualified hydraulic technician or licensed plumber. Depressurize and drain the hydraulic circuit fully before removing or installing any fittings. Ensure mating NPTF port threads and the O-ring sealing surface are clean and undamaged before assembly. Follow system manufacturer torque guidelines and applicable fluid power standards such as SAE J1453 for ORFS connections.
