Parker 16392 Steel Flared Tube Connector 3/8 in 37 Deg Bspt

Product Description

The PARKER 16392 is a steel flared tube connector designed for high-pressure hydraulic and fluid system applications. It features a 3/8 inch tube OD with a 37-degree flare angle and 1/4-19 BSPT thread, with female-to-male BSPT end connections. This fitting creates a leak-resistant, metal-to-metal seal in tubing runs where reliable performance under pressure and temperature extremes is required. It is rated for a maximum working pressure of 4500 psi dynamic and a maximum working temperature of 500 degrees F. Hydraulic technicians, fluid power mechanics, and industrial plumbers commonly install this type of fitting in control lines, machinery circuits, and process piping systems.

This connector is suited for use in hydraulic systems, pneumatic lines, and industrial fluid circuits where BSPT threaded connections and 37-degree flare tube ends are specified. It conforms to ISO 8434-2 and SAE J514 standards, making it applicable in both domestic and internationally spec-driven installations. The 37-degree flare configuration is common in high-pressure hydraulic assemblies across mobile equipment, compressors, and process machinery. Sold in a package quantity of 5.

Compatibility

Designed for use in fluid and hydraulic systems requiring 3/8 inch OD tube connections with 37-degree flare geometry and 1/4-19 BSPT threaded ports, conforming to ISO 8434-2 and SAE J514 specifications.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a qualified hydraulic or fluid power technician. Depressurize and isolate the hydraulic or fluid circuit completely before removing or installing any fittings. Inspect tube ends for proper 37-degree flare formation and ensure threads are clean and undamaged before assembly. Do not overtighten; follow the fitting manufacturer standard torque procedures for BSPT connections to avoid thread damage or fitting distortion.
