Parker 16 C6X-S Steel Swivel Nut Elbow 1 in Tube Od

Product Description

The PARKER 16 C6X-S is a steel flared tube swivel nut elbow fitting designed for use in high-pressure hydraulic and fluid power systems. It features a 37-degree flare angle with flare-by-swivel end connections, allowing the swivel nut to rotate during assembly without twisting the tube. Rated to a maximum dynamic working pressure of 4000 psi and a maximum working temperature of 500 degrees F (260 degrees C), this fitting is built for demanding service environments. It suits applications where a directional change in tubing runs is required and a secure, leak-resistant metal-to-metal seal is essential.

This fitting is typically installed in hydraulic plumbing, industrial fluid lines, and high-pressure pneumatic systems where a 90-degree change of direction is needed at a tube connection point. The 1-inch tube OD size makes it appropriate for medium-to-large bore line assemblies. It is commonly specified in mobile equipment, industrial machinery, and plant piping where steel fittings meeting SAE and ISO flare standards are required. Installation is performed by licensed or trained fluid power technicians and pipefitters.

Key Features

• 37-degree flare angle with flare-by-swivel end connections for secure metal-to-metal sealing
• Maximum dynamic working pressure of 4000 psi for high-pressure line service
• Rated to 500 degrees F (260 degrees C) maximum working temperature
• Steel construction for durability in demanding hydraulic and fluid power environments
• Swivel nut design allows fitting orientation adjustment without tube distortion during assembly
• Meets ISO 8434-2, SAE J514, and SAE 070221 standards

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or new-installation fitting for hydraulic and fluid power tube assemblies using 37-degree SAE flare connections with a 1-inch tube OD.

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 fittings. Inspect the tube flare and fitting seat for damage or contamination before assembly, as surface defects compromise the metal-to-metal seal. Tighten the swivel nut to the fitting body per the applicable SAE J514 assembly guidelines for the tube OD size; do not over-tighten, which can damage the flare seat.
