Parker 16 Bl-s Tube Support 1 in Od Orfs 1-7/16-12 Unf

Product Description

The PARKER 16 BL-S is a compression tube support fitting designed to reinforce tubing at compression-style connections, preventing tube collapse or deformation under assembly torque and system pressure. Manufactured from steel, this tube support is used with O-Ring Face Seal (ORFS) end connections and features a 1-7/16-12 UNF thread with a 1-inch tube outside diameter. It is installed by plumbing and fluid-power technicians in hydraulic and pneumatic lines where tube integrity at the fitting interface must be maintained.

This tube support is suited for use in hydraulic system assemblies, fluid transfer lines, and industrial plumbing applications where 1-inch OD tubing is routed through ORFS fittings. The ORFS end connection style provides a leak-free seal at the face of the fitting, making it a common choice in high-pressure hydraulic circuits found in both mobile and stationary equipment. Technicians working on OEM equipment or replacement plumbing runs will encounter this fitting in compression-style tube assemblies requiring internal tube wall support.

Key Features

• Steel construction for durability in hydraulic and high-pressure fluid systems
• O-Ring Face Seal (ORFS) end connection for reliable leak-free sealing
• 1-7/16-12 UNF thread size for precise, standard thread engagement
• 1-inch tube outside diameter compatibility for common hydraulic tubing sizes
• Compression-style design reinforces tube wall during fitting assembly

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or service fitting for hydraulic and fluid-transfer assemblies using 1-inch OD tubing with O-Ring Face Seal compression fittings and 1-7/16-12 UNF thread connections.

Installation Notes

Installation is typically performed by licensed plumbing or fluid-power technicians working on hydraulic circuits or industrial tube assemblies. Depressurize and drain the system fully before disassembling any hydraulic line or fitting. Insert the tube support into the tube end before seating the tube into the fitting body to ensure proper support during compression. Follow applicable industry standards and equipment manufacturer torque guidelines when tightening ORFS fittings.
