Parker 12-8 Clo-s Male Elbow Fitting Orfs X Nptf 6000 Psi

Product Description

The PARKER 12-8 CLO-S is a compression tube male elbow fitting designed for high-pressure hydraulic and fluid-transfer lines. It connects a 3/4-inch outside-diameter tube to a 1/2-14 NPTF threaded port using an O-Ring Face Seal (ORFS) end on the tube side, providing a leak-resistant seal under demanding conditions. Rated to 6000 psi maximum working pressure, this fitting is built from zinc-plated steel for corrosion resistance. It is installed by hydraulic technicians, plumbers, and fluid-power mechanics in systems where reliable, high-integrity connections are required.

This fitting is suited for use in industrial hydraulic systems, mobile equipment fluid lines, and commercial plumbing assemblies where ORFS-to-NPTF transitions are needed. The 90-degree elbow orientation allows routing in tight or confined spaces, making it a practical solution when straight inline fittings cannot accommodate the plumbing layout. It is sold individually and is appropriate for both new installations and replacement service work.

Key Features

• 6000 psi maximum working pressure for high-pressure hydraulic service
• ORFS x NPTF end connections provide a dual-standard transition in a single fitting
• 3/4-inch tube outside diameter compression end for secure tube retention
• 1/2-14 NPTF thread size for tapered thread sealing without additional sealant tape when used with compatible ports
• Zinc-plated steel construction for corrosion resistance in industrial environments
• 90-degree male elbow configuration supports tight-space plumbing routing

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or new-installation fitting for hydraulic and fluid-transfer systems requiring a 3/4-inch OD tube compression connection transitioning to a 1/2-14 NPTF threaded port with an O-Ring Face Seal interface.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a qualified hydraulic technician or licensed plumber familiar with high-pressure fluid systems. Depressurize and drain the system fully before removing or installing any fittings. Inspect the ORFS O-ring seating surface and replace the O-ring if damaged before assembly. Thread engagement and torque should follow the fitting manufacturer and system design specifications applicable to 1/2-14 NPTF connections.
