Parker 16 Jtx-s Steel Flared Tube Union 1 in 37 Deg

Product Description

The PARKER 16 JTX-S is a steel flared tube union designed for high-pressure hydraulic and fluid power tubing systems. It joins two tube runs using a 37-degree flare connection on all three ends, creating a leak-resistant, all-metal joint without the need for solder or threading. Built from steel, this union handles working pressures up to 4000 psi and temperatures up to 500 degrees F, making it suitable for demanding industrial and mobile equipment applications. Plumbers, pipefitters, and hydraulic system technicians install this fitting wherever a durable inline union is required in flared-tube circuits.

This fitting is used in hydraulic lines, fuel systems, and fluid transfer plumbing where 37-degree JIC flare connections are specified. The three-end flare configuration accommodates an inline union with consistent connection geometry throughout. Its steel construction and compliance with ISO 8434-2, SAE J514, and SAE 070401 standards make it a reliable choice for both stationary industrial equipment and mobile hydraulic applications. The 1-inch tube OD size fits standard one-inch tubing used in medium- to high-flow circuits.

Key Features

• 37-degree JIC flare ends on all three ports for secure, all-metal sealing
• Rated to 4000 psi maximum dynamic working pressure
• Rated to 500 degrees F maximum working temperature
• Steel construction for strength and durability in hydraulic environments
• Meets ISO 8434-2, SAE J514, and SAE 070401 standards
• Overall length of 3.62 inches fits compact inline installations

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or service fitting for hydraulic and fluid power systems using 1-inch tube OD, 37-degree JIC flare connections per SAE J514 and ISO 8434-2 specifications.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a qualified pipefitter, hydraulic technician, or licensed plumber. Depressurize and drain the system fully before removing or installing any fittings. Inspect tube ends for proper 37-degree flare geometry and confirm tubing is free of burrs or cracks before assembly. Torque the flare nuts according to the tube size and material guidelines specified in SAE J514 rather than relying on feel alone.
