Parker 2GF-8 Copper Flared Tube Gasket 1/2 in Od 45 Deg

Product Description

The PARKER 2GF-8 is a copper flared tube gasket designed for use in flared tube fitting assemblies operating under elevated pressure and temperature conditions. It seats at a 45-degree flare angle against a 1/2-inch OD tube end, providing a leak-tight metal-to-metal seal when compressed into the flare seat. Rated to 750 psi maximum working pressure and 250 degrees F maximum working temperature, this gasket is built to handle demanding refrigeration, HVAC, and fluid-handling applications. HVAC technicians and plumbers install this part as part of flared tube connections in copper tubing systems.

This gasket is suited for residential and light commercial applications where SAE-standard flare fittings are used. Typical install scenarios include refrigerant line sets, hydraulic lines, and fuel or oil lines assembled with SAE J512 or SAE J513 flare fittings. The 45-degree flare angle is the standard configuration found throughout HVAC, refrigeration, and fluid power systems. Its copper construction ensures reliable conformability and corrosion resistance in these environments.

Key Features

• 45-degree flare angle matches SAE-standard flared tube fitting assemblies
• 1/2-inch tube OD sizing for direct fitment on 1/2-inch copper flare connections
• 750 psi maximum working pressure for demanding pressure applications
• 250 degrees F maximum working temperature rating
• Copper material provides corrosion resistance and excellent seat conformability
• Meets SAE J512, SAE J513, and UL Listing standards

Compatibility

Designed for use with SAE J512 and SAE J513 compliant flared tube fittings using a 1/2-inch OD tube with a 45-degree flare end connection.

Installation Notes

Installation is typically performed by licensed HVAC technicians or plumbers working on flared copper tubing systems. Shut off and depressurize the system fully before disassembling any flare fitting. Seat the gasket squarely on the flare face before threading the flare nut to avoid misalignment and leakage. Flare connections in refrigeration systems must comply with applicable mechanical codes, including ASHRAE and local jurisdictional requirements.
