Parker 16 S6X-S Steel Swivel Nut Branch Tee 1 in Tube Od

Product Description

The PARKER 16 S6X-S is a steel swivel nut branch tee fitting designed for 37-degree flared tube connections. It provides a three-way branch junction in hydraulic and fluid systems, using a flare x flare x swivel end configuration that allows one port to rotate during assembly without disturbing the fixed connections. Rated to 4000 psi maximum working pressure and rated for temperatures up to 500 degrees F, this fitting is built for demanding service in industrial, mobile hydraulic, and HVAC refrigeration piping applications. The 1-inch tube OD size and all-steel construction make it suitable for high-pressure fluid lines requiring reliable leak-free joints.

This fitting is used in hydraulic systems, refrigeration lines, and industrial fluid distribution where a branch tee configuration is required. The swivel nut design simplifies installation in tight or awkward routing situations by allowing the nut to turn independently. It is typically installed by licensed pipefitters, hydraulic technicians, and HVAC-R mechanics working on tubing runs that require branching without full disassembly of adjacent connections.

Key Features

• Overall length of 3.62 inches

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or direct-fit branch tee for hydraulic and fluid systems using 1-inch OD 37-degree flared tubing per SAE J514 and ISO 8434-2 standards.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a qualified pipefitter or hydraulic technician. Depressurize and drain the system fully before removing or installing any fittings. Use proper flaring tools to ensure tube ends meet the 37-degree flare angle specification before assembly. Do not over-torque the swivel nut; follow applicable SAE and system manufacturer torque guidelines for the tube size and material.
