Parker 2 Ftx-s Steel Flared Tube Connector 1/8 in

Product Description

The PARKER 2 FTX-S is a steel flared tube connector designed for high-pressure hydraulic and fluid system applications. It features a 37-degree flare angle with a Flare x Male NPTF (MNPTF) end connection, conforming to SAE J514 and ISO 8434-2 standards. Built from steel, this connector handles a maximum working pressure of 6000 psi and a maximum operating temperature of 500 degrees F (260 degrees C). The 2 FTX-S is suited for use by hydraulic technicians, plumbers, and fluid power mechanics who require a reliable, leak-resistant tube fitting in demanding service environments. Overall length is 1.11 inches.

This connector is used in hydraulic lines, fuel systems, and pneumatic tubing assemblies where a 37-degree flare connection to an NPTF-threaded port is required. It is appropriate for both industrial and mobile equipment applications. The 1/8 inch tube OD size fits compact fluid circuits common in OEM machinery, HVAC equipment, and light industrial systems. Licensed technicians and fluid power specialists typically select this fitting when replacing or extending existing 37-degree flare tube assemblies.

Key Features

• 37-degree flare angle per SAE J514 and ISO 8434-2 standards
• Flare x MNPTF end connection for direct port installation
• Rated to 6000 psi maximum working pressure
• Operates up to 500 degrees F (260 degrees C)
• Steel construction for durability in high-pressure fluid service
• 1/8 inch tube OD with NPTF thread standard for leak-resistant sealing

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or service fitting for hydraulic and fluid systems using 1/8 inch OD tubing with 37-degree flare connections and NPTF-threaded ports.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a qualified hydraulic technician or licensed plumber familiar with SAE flare fitting procedures. Depressurize and drain the fluid system completely before removing or installing any tube fittings. Use the appropriate flaring tool to achieve a proper 37-degree flare seat; an improperly flared tube is a leading cause of joint leakage. Do not over-torque the fitting, and verify thread compatibility with the mating NPTF port before assembly.
