Parker 2 Jtx-s Steel Flared Tube Union 1/8 in 37 Deg

Product Description

The PARKER 2 JTX-S is a steel flared tube union designed to join hydraulic and fluid-system tubing at a 37-degree flare angle. This three-end fitting uses a flare-by-flare-by-flare connection configuration, making it a tee-style union suited for splitting or combining flow paths in a single inline assembly. Rated to 7,500 psi maximum dynamic working pressure and a maximum working temperature of 500 degrees F, it handles demanding pressure and thermal conditions found in hydraulic lines, fuel systems, and instrumentation circuits. Licensed plumbers, pipefitters, and HVAC technicians working with flare-type tube assemblies are the primary installers of this fitting.

This fitting is intended for use with 1/8 inch outside-diameter tubing in hydraulic, pneumatic, fuel, and instrumentation applications where a reliable 37-degree flare connection is required. Its compact overall length of 1.54 inches suits tight-clearance installations in both mobile and stationary equipment. Residential and light commercial HVAC systems, fluid-power machinery, and precision instrumentation plumbing are all typical installation environments for this union style.

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or service fitting for hydraulic, fuel, and instrumentation tube assemblies using 1/8 inch OD tubing with a 37-degree flare end connection.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a licensed pipefitter, plumber, or qualified HVAC technician familiar with flare-type tube fittings. Depressurize and isolate the system completely before removing or installing any fitting. Use the appropriate flaring tool to ensure a clean, consistent 37-degree seat before tightening; a damaged or out-of-spec flare face is a common source of leaks. Torque the flare nuts to the tool or system manufacturer specifications and verify with a pressure test before returning the system to service.
