Parker 16-12 Clo-s Male Elbow 1 in Tube Od 3/4-14 Nptf 4000 Psi

Product Description

The PARKER 16-12 CLO-S is a compression tube male elbow fitting designed for high-pressure hydraulic and fluid system connections. It transitions from a 1-inch outside diameter compression tube to a 3/4-14 NPTF male thread using an O-Ring Face Seal (ORFS) interface on the tube end, providing a leak-free mechanical connection rated to 4000 psi working pressure. Constructed from zinc-plated steel, the fitting resists corrosion in demanding service environments. Licensed plumbers, hydraulic system technicians, and industrial maintenance professionals install this fitting in fluid conveyance lines where a 90-degree directional change is required with secure tube retention.

This fitting is suited for residential and commercial hydraulic lines, industrial fluid distribution systems, and mobile equipment plumbing where tube-to-pipe transitions at a right angle are needed. The ORFS end eliminates face-seal leakage points common in flare-style connections, making it appropriate for high-pressure oil, water, and hydraulic fluid lines. Systems requiring a reliable 90-degree tube-to-NPT male connection at pressures up to 4000 psi are the primary application. Package quantity is one piece per unit.

Key Features

• 4000 psi maximum working pressure for demanding hydraulic service
• ORFS x NPTF end connections eliminate leak paths at both the tube face seal and threaded pipe joint
• 1-inch tube outside diameter compression end provides positive tube retention
• 3/4-14 NPTF thread conforms to dryseal pipe thread standard for pressure-tight connections without sealant dependency
• Zinc-plated steel construction provides corrosion resistance in industrial and outdoor service
• 90-degree male elbow configuration allows direction changes in tight plumbing layouts

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or new-installation fitting for hydraulic and fluid system lines requiring a 1-inch OD compression tube connection to a 3/4-14 NPTF male threaded port.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a qualified hydraulic technician or licensed plumber familiar with high-pressure fluid system assembly. Depressurize and drain the system fully before disconnecting any existing fittings or installing this elbow. Inspect the ORFS face seal surface and the NPTF thread for damage before assembly; do not install a fitting with nicked sealing surfaces. Torque the NPTF thread to the system specification and verify the compression sleeve is properly seated on the tube before pressurizing the line.
