Parker 16 Vlo-s Male 45 Elbow Fitting 1 in Orfs X Nptf 3000 Psi

Product Description

The PARKER 16 VLO-S is a compression tube male 45 degree elbow fitting designed for high-pressure hydraulic and fluid system connections. It connects a 1 inch outside diameter compression tube to a male NPTF port using an O-Ring Face Seal (ORFS) interface on the tube end, providing a leak-resistant seal at working pressures up to 3000 psi. Constructed from zinc-plated steel for corrosion resistance, this fitting is suited for industrial and mobile hydraulic plumbing applications. It is installed by licensed fluid power technicians and mechanical contractors working on hydraulic lines, lube systems, and related pressure plumbing.

This fitting is used in hydraulic plumbing assemblies where a 45 degree directional change is required between a compression tube line and an NPTF threaded port. The 1 inch tube OD size and NPTF thread standard make it appropriate for medium to large hydraulic circuits in industrial machinery, mobile equipment, and fluid transfer systems. The 45 degree elbow geometry helps route tubing in tight spaces and reduces stress on tube ends versus a sharp 90 degree change in direction.

Key Features

• O-Ring Face Seal (ORFS) tube end provides a high-integrity, leak-resistant connection at the tube interface
• NPTF male thread end creates a pressure-tight mechanical seal without sealant tape when properly torqued
• Rated to 3000 psi maximum working pressure
• Zinc-plated steel construction offers corrosion resistance in typical hydraulic service environments
• 45 degree elbow angle aids routing in confined plumbing layouts
• 1 inch tube OD accommodates standard medium to large hydraulic tube sizes

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or system fitting for hydraulic and fluid power plumbing applications requiring a 1 inch OD compression tube connection to an NPTF threaded port with an ORFS seal interface.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a qualified hydraulic technician or fluid power mechanic. Depressurize and drain the hydraulic system completely before removing or installing any fittings. NPTF threads rely on thread deformation for sealing — inspect threads for damage before assembly and follow the fitting manufacturer torque guidance for the connection size. Confirm the O-ring is seated and undamaged before tightening the ORFS end to prevent leaks at system pressure.
